Wimbledon

Noticed Voltbet.com have a "fail" to win the tournament market..interesting

Week 2 is when the tournament really begins, left with the Top 16 men and woman. All last 16 matches being played today. Nadal will have a tough match against Del Potro but should pull through. All four men's top seeds are looking good to qualify for the semi's. Woman's side looks very open with Sharapova and the Williams sisters looking the likely winner, Azarenka could be the surprise package if she gets her mind right and doesn't let the pressure of big matches get to her.

My Predicition is for Nadal and Sharapova to lift the titles.

Shrek just checked the Voltbet win and Fail markets you can arber murry at 9/1 win and 1/7 to fail...sshhhhh

My heart is with Federer, but the head says Nadal - I don't think Sharapova has the nerves to win it - I think Wozniaki will beat her in the quarters. It's probably going to be Wozniaki vs S Williams in the one semi (although I like Petra Cetkovska so I''m hoping she could go through); the bottom half looks open but I guess one can't rule out a final between the Williams sisters

Frodo, I hope it is a Nadal / Federer final, some classic matches between them in the past here and hope for another great final. What I don't like about Wozniaki is that she isn't agressive enough she allows her opponent to dicate and when they are on song she can't compete, I see Sharapova winning that match quite easily but we will see. The Williams sisters are always hard to beat on the surface, maybe just lack of game time coming into Wimbledon may effect them. The woman's draw looks far more unpredicable than the men's draw.

Big result in the ladies game, Serena Williams losing to Marion Bartoli in a tough battle 6-3 7-6(6). Both ladies giving everything lovely to watch.

Murray has just introduced himself to this years title,looks like he is playing a qualifier in the next round as well

Hibs it is amazing how far the top 4 mens tennis players are clear of anyone else. They will get upset by someone on the odd occation but they all consistantly get throught to the semi's. For me men's semi final day is the best day at Wimbledon, you get to see two finals.

Feel a bit sorry for Murray,he would have a rake of Grand Slam titles in any other era,but up against probably the 2 greatest players of all time 3rd or 4th best has to do...

No. What era you referring too? Lets see. Borg/Conners/McEnroe maybe Becker/Edburg/Lendl or Laver.IIle Nastase Maybe he would have won it in the Fred Perry era. I hope that he does go on to win Wimbledon so that he can shit the English up.

I think I will abstain from this discussion going forward:(

Frodo I wouldn't give up if I were you, the ladies tennis has become like a lottery, the easiest thing to do is back a lady who's name ends in "ova", you have half the field then.
