Wimbledon 2012

So with Hewitt out in the 1st round, there are no Aussies in the 2nd round since 1938. Goes to show it's not just the UK where there's a lack of talent being brought through.

The thing is Paul the last time a British man won a Major was in the late 30's, and a British woman in 1977. Hewitt & Rafter have both won Majors this century.

Let's face it we are never going to have a decent English tennis player male or female. Laura Robson got knocked out and she is one of our only real hopes for talent.

She's only 18 and has come on leaps and bounds in the last year, but apart from that sadly I agree.

Heather Watson may disagree she's just gone through to the 3rd round. :clap:

Indeed I am eating my words as I speak! The world No.3 awaits (most probably).

For all you Murray lovers out there, he's through to round 3. :thumbsup:

Nadal has just gone out against world no.100 Lukas Rosol in the 2nd round. Come on Feds this is your Wimbeldon.

In the same half of the draw at Djoko. Murray now has a good path to the final :thumbsup:

I'm surprised Nadal didn't pull up injured!:smile:

Baghdatis next for Murray. I've a feeling that Murray will make the final this year, Tsonga would appear to be his toughest opponent in his half of the draw.

According to 5 Live, Nadal's result is the biggest betting upset in history with some punters losing £100,000s who bet on Nadal at stupid odds (1-200 on) to get a meagre return.

and what about the nutters who punted on the Czech at similar odds?

No idea mate but I doubt they would have bet the same vast amounts of moolah.

Watson being absolutely destroyed here. 6-0 3-0 as I type.

**edit** loses in superfast time 6-0 6-2.

Or not? Mountain to climb!

Wouldn't need to, surely? odds like he was getting (probably in the 100s), you'd only need a five or ten to make a killing. Five people do that, it's 5 grand the shops lose.#

ETA: Mountain climbed. Bugger.
