Wimbledon 2016

How spewing would Tomic and Kyrgios be with their seeded draws v. Barton and Saville

Hardly. Both Nick and Tomic should belt them.

 

[matt_897]

They better not be showing every Australian that's all I'll say. Luckily after round 3 it is good though.

I'd be skipping Tuesday's coverage if I was you then with Kyrgios, Tomic, Millman, Thompson, Saville & Barton all playing Tuesday.

I imagine they'll show Stosur on monday too because of her recent success at RG.

Good thing I work early Wednesday anyway. Good Stosur can lose round 1 as usual! Where is Arantza Rus when we need her?

Why the you know what would you show rubbish players like Millman, Thompson, Saville and Barton for...Eurosport better be a bit better

Millman, Thompson, Saville and Barton... all the players I want to see We can watch Tomic and Kyrgios later in the week after they've waltzed through their early rounds. Some of us like to watch the plodders.

At 7am London time (when you posted)

Probably release it 7 or 8pm tonight.

Shocking draw for Dasha. will win the first round, but then has to play Cibulkova, and if she somehow gets past her, has Bouchard/Puig/Konta and if she somehow wins that one, she will face Aga/Garcia. probably the toughest quarter of the draw.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Cibulkova is a good draw on grass, Bouchard is rubbish nowadays. Kouta could be tricky.

okay........

i will just ignore yesterday's win at Eastbourne then, with wins over Aga and Pliskova as well.

Edit: i will also add that she is 8th on the race rankings for the year.

 

[BobbyMorri]

So Slammin Sam first up on 7 you would think as she plays first up on court no.3. Groth 2nd on court number 1, so he will be the 2nd player on the tellie. then probably the Fed.

Cibulkova should beat Dasha on grass court.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Watch Stosur lose tonight. At least then we won't have to hear about her "improving" her grass court game. That's the positive.

 

[vaughany]

Light showers at 9am but other than should be a fine day weather wise

Unlike the French, at least there is a roof. At least if it rains we get to see the better matches.

Best you put some money on her opponent then, she is very good odds!

I will be happy to see Sam get through a couple of rounds on grass. As long as players play to their best then I enjoy it, there is no shame being beaten by better players.

Just wish the Aussies were spread over the first two days a bit better, there is no way I am going to see all the matches I want to watch tomorrow night.

Usually do put a few bucks on whoever is against Stosur on grass, she is that bad on grass. Always remember cleaning up when Arantza Rus thrashed her a few years back. I don't hate Sam, I hate the commentators trying to tell us how good she is all the time when blind Freddy can tell she is terrible in Australia and awful on grass. No shame being a limited but extremely dangerous player in the US and the French.

 

[BobbyMorri]

I do agree that Stosur is too short with the bookies. but she still shouldn't lose to Linette.

 

[vaughany]

Foxtel main channel is showing:

Cilic v Baker
Williams v Vekic
Groth v Nishikori

Rather annoying that Robsons game won't be televised as we have a couple of rubbish games on.

Robson has hardly won a game since her comeback. Kerber may take a set to warm up(it is her thing), but it will be a noncontest and will be nearly as bad as Groth's game once she does.

we get it, u hate Australians. I hope Millman goes really deep, just to see your tears.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Very happy that Wimbledon is upon us as it's my favourite grand slam outside of the Australian Open.

Nothing like watching Wimbledon during the cold winter nights. Hopefully all Australian players involved, will leave no stone unturned on the court.

Djokovic the clear favourite but with Murray reuniting with Lendl as his coach, I give Murray a sneaky chance. You can never write off Federer on grass but he's injury issues and is out of form at the moment. Raonic is my smoky to go far in this tournament.

Robson is not in the greatest of form granted but she almost beat Serena at Wimbledon, her game is perfect for grass. Will not be a shock if Kerber loses, Robson is very dangerous.

I don't mind Kyrios actually and I like Dasha...so no I don't hate every Australian...just the useless ones which for some reason Ch7 (in particular) seem to shove down our throats every year. Rather see how the top players are looking early on in terms of winning the Slam.
