Roddick is playing like a champ. I think he might actually have a slim chance if he plays his serves right. I don't remember him playing this well prior to today.

Murray just didn't bring his A game today. very odd. watching the match right now, and it looks like he wasn't into the match like he should. the pressure of him playing on the big stage at wimbledon may be too much for him to handle right now. maybe next year.

Roddick didn't look all too good either. he stepped up when things counted most of the time, but he just didn't look as dominant. hopefully roddick can fare well against federer on sunday.

Andy succumed to pressure today. the media frenzy and just in general trying to become the first brit for like 70 years to win the mens singles. Now they'll poop all over him in the press most likely.

On the other side, there was way more cheering for roddick than I expected, I thought it'd be a really partisan crowd. Guess the posh-toff-nosed-****s don't like the scots.

great result today,delighted for roddick,hes a gent of a bloke and some tennis player,couldnt belive the amount of british shite talk that murray could actually win,they always set them selves up for the fall which is absoutly great viewing they fall at the final hurdle.

america...putting england to shame

goes to two major championships in less than a month (wimbledon/confederations)

i blame it on guy fawkes

The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”

i think murray will have a good number of chances to win it all in the next couple of years.

anyways, the "williams" final. yeah the score is close, but i'm just not feeling this match.

whereas last weekend an irishman singlehandedly lost the british & irish lions the test against SA by trying to kick down the middle, then fouling a guy as he tried to catch it, instead of playing safe & putting it out wide into touch.

it's tough to be a brit and irishman

And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

i knew you would pop up right after serena won. yeah i did not like the way the women's final turned out to be. i kind of did want to see venus win her 6th wimbledon final, but i guess she may have to wait until next year.
