Sharapova and the Williams sisters ??? what is this 2003? Women's tennis needs a new star

That tranny is anything but hot... :2 cents:

Tennis pisses me off. Few spits of rain, and everything stops.

Imagine that happened in a football game, or NFL or some shit.

I don't see why tennis has to stop right away. A downpour obviously makes it a little different...

It's time for Federrer

Ever try sprinting on a tennis court when the ground is wet? When the white lines are the least bit wet, they're very very slippery; it's the perfect condition for slipping/tripping/injury.

And ? It's sport. If you slip, you slip. Weather is the same for both players... :upsidedow

Soccer matches you can slip, trip, or get injured because of the conditions. Doesn't mean they stop the match...

For sure.......... Federer needs to do it this year.

if only they could invent something to put on those white lines for grip.

I like Serena.. hate tennis... ;)

vamo fernando gonzalez!!!

Ah yes, time to wake up at 7am for live wimbledon coverage. Hey, it could happen! :)

I hope for some newer names this year. I dont follow the whole season, but I like to catch the majors on tv.

Ever tried to hit a wet tennis ball?

I'd rather have it rain delayed than to watch a one hit game since it's impossible to return a shot if the ball is soaked. That's not the same for footballs or soccer balls.

it's hard grass courts.. what would happen to a football player if you took away their cleats?

Precisely.

Andy Murray was part of Wimbledon history today, when the ground's giant screen was turned off for the first time during his game because of health and safety fears.

Andy has bags of support as fans messages are printed on racket holder

Exactly, but you can't blame the guy for wanting more oops panty shots when these poor girls slip on their asses every 2 minutes :)

Wimbledon day two, 2 matches to see:

John Isner (USA) vs. Nicolas Mahut (FRA) - (approx. 1:00pm ET, weather permitting)
Serena Williams (USA) vs Aravane Rezai (FRA) - 12:10 GMT

I say: Isner wins in straight sets
Serena looks weaker but still wins

vamo fernando conchetumadreeeeeeeeee

Serena opened her Wimbledon title defenseby beating Rezai in three sets, then burst into tears on Centre Court.

Fair enough. :)

Serena successful in return and Isner handled matters with dispatch, 7-6 (4), 6-2, 7-6 (6) in a mere 2 hours and 4 minutes :thumbsup

She has an ugly bubble butt

Fernando Gonzalez WON :thumbsup

I wish I had put a bet on that

Here you go the hottest female tennis players at Wimbledon 2011

Wimbledon ? Day 4

Roger Federer?s hunt of Wimbledon title number seven sees him take on Adrian Mannarino on Centre Court today ? the Frenchman who came out on the right side of an epic five-setter against Ireland?s Conor Niland on Tuesday. That?s the final match on the main arena today ? before that 5th seed Robin Soderling plays Leyton Hewitt and women?s French Open winner Na Li tackles Sabine Lisicki of Germany.

Defending champ Serena Williams as well as Maria Sharapova and Novak Djokovic among the other big names on show later.

Rafael Nadal made it 16 wins on the spin at Wimbledon after cruising into the third round yesterday. The defending champion thrashed American Ryan Sweeting in straight sets under the Centre Court roof. Wins also for Andy Roddick and Andy Murray as well as women?s second seed Vera Zvonereva.

Federer should take this.
Nadal and Djokovic are in great form but Federer owns the gras.

Federer will destroy the guy. It still takes top form and a good day to beat Fed

Fernando Gonzalez did it again! :thumbsup

After two reasonably straight forward tasks for the British Number 1, the bar is raised for Andy Murray in the Third Round as big serving Croatian, Ivan Ljubicic attempts to continue his impressive run. Go Murray! :thumbsup

Nadal is winning today first set :thumbsup

Murray back on when the roof closes, lights and court warm up.

For others, it's not warming up but cooling down that's required :winkwink:

Roddick had beaten Feliciano Lopez, the flashy but streaky 29-year old Spanish left-hander seven times in seven previous attempts, but this time Andy lost :(

this thread going hotter

Maria Sharapova and her idiotic screaming at every damn shot is just unbearable.

She might be hot, but i felt like killing her watching some of her match today. No way could i listen to that for a couple of hours.

Makes you wonder what noises she makes when she's getting drilled!

Laura (she is only 17yrs old) gave Sharapova the No 5 seed, a closer match than any could have imagined, showed tremendous guts and no little ability and, on occasions, sincerely presented the possibility that she could conjure up one of the greatest shocks in the history of the event.

Try playing football on a wet grass without a needed football footwear and You will see what happens.
That what would happen in tennis.

R Federer (Sui) bt D Nalbandian (Arg) 6-4, 6-2, 6-4

Novak Djokovic held off an inspired Marcos Baghdatis 6-4 4-6 6-3 6-4 to reach the last 16 at Wimbledon.

Nadal upped his game at the key moments to overcome the spirited challenge of wildcard Gilles Muller 7-6(6) 7-6(5) 6-0 and advance to the last 16 at Wimbledon.

During the course of a sunkissed day six of Wimbledon, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic all joined Andy Murray in the fourth round. Congrats!

Sharapova, champion in 2004 and subsequent winner of the US and Australian Opens, acknowledged that she can take nothing for granted.
