How many times has the Queens winner gone on to win Wimbledon in the same year,not many IIRC.

Nadal last year?

Funny how when Murray wins there are hardly any posts, should he lose at Wimbledon then the usual posters will all be posting laughing smilies

eee i remember a day when the chiefs at SW19 didnt give a stuff about the world rankings!!

Never saw it. Sorry Billy

I only know because I've made 350 out of 364 posts.

Indeed.

Sad Little Ingerlunders.

I have said all along that the oft used cliche by the English that they support the Scottish and the Welsh in tournaments is a complete myth. There is a very real chance that a Scotsman will win a Grand Slam and the English are ti!ng themselves.

There was me thinking you only trolled the Man City/Bolton/Liverpool fans on the football thread, turns out you like angling on the tennis thread, too

Nadal has not declared himself fit yet.

I actually think it's good for Murray that he's in Nadal's half of the draw, rather than Roger's. Even if he does declare himself fit, I doubt Rafa will be at 100%.

Nadal pulls out of Wimbers.

Even better chance for Mr Murray now.

C'mon Andrew!

Nadal quickly realised that if he couldn't even beat Lleyton Hewitt in an exhibition, then he had no chance at Wimbledon.

Baghdatis and Monfils have also pulled out of the Mens'.

Baghdatis has been a semi-finalist before, and Monfils was seeded 14.

Wimbledon - Monday

Outside courts start at 12.00, show courts at 13.00.

First Brit on court is Laura Robson. Behave, she's only 15.

Her opponent Daniela Hantuchova isn't though.

Robson wins the first set 6 - 3.

Any Brits gone out yet, they've been going at least an hour?

Robson in a 3rd set decider.

No. I can only think that's because there aren't that many in it. Murray doesn't play until tomorrow.

Regardless of this probable loss she has performed well, and £10 750 for losing in the first round isn't a bad Monday morning's work for a 15 year old.

Robson loses.

Federer eases through in 3.

Sharapova squeals to victory.

James Blake is the first seed (17) to go, in 3.

She did very well though.
