Wimbledon
 
Nadal out. Murray out. Never mind there's always Eugenie Bouchard!

In that case I'd like Federer to have one more, or let the newbie Aussie guy blast through and win it. Coverage here is terrible, BTW

OK - scrap that. Federer still in, Aussie guy out- let's all cheer for the Canadian Milos Raonic now! ;)

I was about to blast you for this post. Thankfully, you had a change of heart.
Milos Ranoic is a very good Canadian representative at Wimbledon. He may not beat Federer, but I hope he does. In any case, I know he will do his best
He , and Eugenie Bouchard have surpassed all previous Canadian tennis players in that they have both reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon .I wish both of them well. I would hope that others here would do the same.

My mate's brother just made into the quarterfinals in doubles, not that the naffer offered me any tickets. :thumbdown:

Bouchard plays pretty soon, Raonic plays tomorrow - great Canadian representation! A few big names out as well, Murray and Nadal surprised me!

According to the bookies neither of the Canucks are favoured to win, but it's still a great result, and I'll be cheering them both on!

Off to go find the Listen Live from Wimbledon's website now. :D Go Genie!!!!

Delighted for her. Good girl

She seems focussed and in the zone. It's lookin good.

Re: Wimbledon
 
Bookie odds have Kvitova as the favourite, but not my very much (1.8 to 2.3 last I checked). Those were roughly the odds for today as well, in favour of Halep.

If she just goes out and does exactly what she did today, that'll be great. She's so in the zone, doesn't let anything phase her. Going to be a good final!

Until then, GO MILOS!!!

Not looking good at all for Genie.

Re: Wimbledon
 
Nope, not great. Hopefully she can pull it together... Kvitova is a monster tennis player...

Re: Wimbledon
 
Is it on TV there or are you streaming?

Kvitova is very strong but I think EB is not returning well.

1 set down :(

Re: Wimbledon
 
I'm watching on tv, up at the cottage so no hd.

Your comment about the returns is what the announcers said. Kvitova is returning big with a ton of power and that's not something Eugenie is accustomed to seeing. Add to that a lefty throwing back returns at funny angles... :(
