Wonder if they've any plans for that, now they've got the roof?

My guess would be not, seeing as you get long daylight hours in England in June/July, and it may effect the grass if it's closed for long periods of time. We've seen that from a rugby perspective at the Magic Weekend.

Sad really, as I agree it would make a better spectacle.

Ssssshhh.



So she was born in Australia, but I think she only lived there for a matter of minutes, and her talent was honed in Blighty using our excellent infrastructure and facilities.

What, with temperatures in the 40's?

what ?? for the last 100 years

I suppose either way....there is still a hell of a lot of money to be won in Tennis, so i dont suppose they lose to much sleep over it anyway, and you could argue that the ranking points you need to get to the slams are earned on the basis of events which only last 3 sets anyway (mens and womens)

That said....i see S Williams wrapped the first set of the FINAL in 19 mins.

Serena wins her 10th Grand Slam.

did'nt a english man create the game .tennis

A match too far for Robson, as she loses in two. The other British girl, Heather Watson, took more games off of Pervak earlier. Having said that, the juniors have been playing in some horrendous temperatures, and daily rather than every other day.

Back to cheering for adults again now.

You're thinking of whiff-whaff (table tennis).

federa is gone in a 5 seter

Slam number 6 for Rafa.

Great game in the first four sets, Federer just lost it big style in set 5 though, fekk knows what happened there.

How many times in a row is that for Nadal over Federer?
Can Rafa win the grand slam now?
Will Federer ever eclipse Pistol Pete? Maybe more pertinently, will Rafa?

Without a shadow of a doubt now Rafa is a clear world number one...awesome!!

Don't cry Rog.

did he actually cry?

Yes, during the presentation ceremony. Not out and out wailing, but definitely shed tears of emotion and disappointment, such that Nadal apologised for beating him.

roger cried when he won aswell

Murray into the final in Rotterdam, probably to face Nadal.

Murray wins the first set 6 - 3.



My money is still on Nadal.

Nadal won the second set and now Murray is walking the third.

6-3 4-6 5-0

Murray wins in 3. Nadal was injured, but hey.



British.

Murray wins again against Nadal when it's a 3 set smaller tournament.When he does it in a GS i'll start to take him seriously.

Fair point. It can't do his bank balance, and ranking, any harm though.

Hold on one second.

Hes just beaten the best player in the world quite comfortably and Murray himself was also carrying an injury.

He is 21 years old. World Number 4 (probably soon to be number 3)

Hes winning tournaments left, right and centre yet you cannot take him seriously?

He got to the Final of the US Open where he got out-classed by one of the games best ever players.

Give the lad some credit. Hes doing all the right things IMO...he has a good chance in this years US Open and an outside chance in the other grand slams. If not this year he has years ahead of him to put things right.

Dubai this week on the Mens tour. Federer has mysteriously pulled out, and Murray is there but looks to be still carrying an ankle injury.
