Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

Roddick for the mens, Sharapova for the womens

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

perhaps we should start a book on which round Henman will go out this year

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

And I thought it was gonna be hard enough to miss it on t.v, now its here as well .. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ;)

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

Federer and Sharapova again for me.

Henman will fail QFs as expected by the seeding.

Good point, my monkey chum. How the hell does Henman get seeded 6th? It's not like he's got any chance of winning really, is it?

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

3. HEWITT, Lleyton (AUS) To win
2. SHARAPOVA Miss Maria (RUS) To :drool:

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

I think they just feel sorry for him

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

that's what being seeded sixth means... :rolleyes:

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

Tennis used to be ' good ', over the last 10 years or so it's lost all of it's appeal, IMHO that is.

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

If you watch the womens tennis its like the mens from 10 years ago. Just as quick

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

Thanks for that ;)

But Henman at 6th? Nalbandian's down at 18th, and at least he's got to the final before!

Re: Official Wimbledon 2005 thread
 

And he really shouldn't have. Plus Henman's a grass player and Nalbandian's a claycourter. I also believe Henman (9th) is higher than Nalbandian (19th) in teh Entry which is used to generate the seedings.

They can move players around a few places to suit previous record, court type, etc etc but the Entry is basically the seedings.
