This is ridiculous! Found out about by seeing Isner-Mahut as Trending Topic. |

It'll be on Centre, but...I don't know, I would have been tempted to make them play on Court 18 again for the full "Kafkaesque recurring nightmare" effect.

Why is it going to be on Centre? Also, are you going Alex?

It will probably be over in two hours and a half this time.

It'll be on Centre because there's more interest in it than every other 1R match put together. I mean, it trended on Twitter! And yes, it'll probably be a straight-sets damp squib. Nice way to honour the two of them though.
I intend to go at some point in the first week but don't know when yet...can't do Tuesday, have an interview then. Was thinking of Monday but the forecast is terrible (if it's going to rain all through the first week I'm quite happy not going). Depends on what various others are doing too. I'll keep you looped though Tim.

R16: Nadal-Simon, Kohlschreiber-Q/LL, Murray-Gasquet, Karlovic-F. Lopez, Ferrer-Tsonga, Nieminen-Federer, Soderling-F. Mayer, Troicki-Djokovic QF: Nadal-Kohlschreiber, Murray-F. Lopez, Tsonga-Federer, F. Mayer-Djokovic SF: Nadal-Murray, Federer-Djokovic F: Nadal def. Djokovic Tried to make it a liiiiiiiiiittle bit interesting prior to the NIDmifinals.  Although Muzza has a tough draw, doesn't he? At least early with Cilic and Gasquet (if they get to him). |

LOL, I see that Lex already picked my "interesting" F-Lo run too  |

And your "interesting" Kohlschreiber one! Consensus |

Post by DBBN on Jun 18, 2011 9:53:37 GMT -5
I think Kohli is less interesting. Even Wertheim gave him a shout.  |

Three Qs and a Nishikori! Now that is "interesting".

And Ward! I think we need to start checking up on Brinyi. Can you tell me your address? What year is this?  |

Ward isn't a totally mad pick. Bug serve, in form, home crowd, weak section (Llodra always unreliable even if he should thrive on grass, Troicki...no idea about his grass credentials, everyone else irrelevant).

I mean...I guess anything is possible. Indeed -- even dark horse Kohlschreiber losing 1R to Istomin!  |

It seems to me that the top 4 are going to meet same as RG. I would love to be wrong and see some craziness, but that's not going to happen, is it? Maybe if Murray completely chokes ... My sympathies are with Fed and I do think he has a chance. Fast courts benefit him more than the rest of the top 4. My money, however, would be on Nadal. He is expert at carrying over the RG momentum. Basically, there are 4 guys who can win this title and they all have a shot. It'll be about who plays better on second Friday and second Sunday (rain, rain stay away). I wonder if an early loss here might drive Roddick into retirement.  |

Hey! One of my Q picks made it. That would be Kubot in the Monfils-Karlovic section.
