Wimbledon....time for Roger to be Roger.

I'll take Roger and Maria.

Can an American make it to the quarters? I don't think they can, maybe Blake or the Williams' ehh brothers.

Roddick should be able to...he was in the finals in 04 and 05 and was in the quarters last year.

6/23/2008 3:14:42 PM

6/25/2008 3:25:31 PM

joke-avic

6/25/2008 3:26:26 PM

Ana almost lost today....almost breaking up my planned wack-a-thon to her and Maria playing later on in the tournament.

6/25/2008 3:29:29 PM

^thatd be the best female matchup since i have been alive

maria kirilenko is the only thing that could top it... if she got some damn talent

6/25/2008 4:39:35 PM

Didn't it already happen in the Australian Open Finals last year?

6/25/2008 5:07:51 PM

nope - marat safin's sister beat maria

6/25/2008 5:32:27 PM

Sorry. I meant this year.

Maria beat Ana this year in the Australian Open Final.

6/25/2008 5:35:29 PM

oh yea i'm thinking about the french

6/25/2008 5:36:18 PM

i miss this guy

6/25/2008 6:01:32 PM

i remember how much shit even the commentators were giving him for that haha

6/25/2008 6:28:16 PM

gulbis has talent,,, he is up and coming, 19 only and he did really well at the french too

6/26/2008 8:58:50 AM

blake

sharapova

roddick's going down too i bet

6/26/2008 12:55:51 PM

hopefully

6/26/2008 1:31:12 PM

i don't get espn classic

6/26/2008 1:51:33 PM

I find it really weird (and believe its a psychological thing with women) that when they lose, like Sharapova today for instance, they get crushed. losing 2 and 4 is a butt thumping.

we often see womens final go in straight sets as well. Obviously the fact that it's 2 out of 3 vs 3 out of 5 changes the dynamic, but isn't it weird that when women lose, they often times lose bad?

6/26/2008 1:59:00 PM

roddick complains about tipsarovic's grunting earlier in the match & now roddicks grunting - he's such a fucking crybaby

fixed that for you

6/26/2008 3:41:30 PM

^^^^^^

excellent call ma'am.

6/26/2008 6:46:21 PM

let's go serena

6/27/2008 11:39:26 AM

dang...ivanovic just went down. i was rooting for her on the woman's side, now i'll be rooting for jankovic...i like her game too.

6/27/2008 1:18:39 PM

as much as i'd love to the the other serb girl finally win her first grand slam - it's doubtful

i bet one of the williams wins this year - it's all there for them now to do so

6/27/2008 1:54:20 PM

All of these crazy early upsets and none of them include either of the Williams sisters. Figures.

The case once again today.

Also it's too cliche to pull for Feds on the men's side and with Blake gone I am totally lost. Ugh.
