Actually a lot of people have been beating the Williams sisters for the last 2-3 years... their current success is a surprise to everyone concerned, not least the Williams themselves I suspect.

Not a surprise to me at all since im used to seeing them face each other at wimbledon.
Just not football is it. But I guess thats why I watch it. There's no football on.
I genuinely enjoyed Roland Garros this year, but thats largely down to the rise of the lovely Ana Ivanovic.
I'll readily agree that there's something crushingly dull about Nadal v Federer & Serena v Venus - especially at Wimbledon, we've seen it all before.

I still don't see man utd v chelsea as boring as say serena v venus williams. Maybe cause its a team sport.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
I know where ya coming from, but to describe Henman and Murray as mediocre is harsh. They have both been top ten in the world and that is hardly a measure of mediocrity.
I prefer to watch football, but it is just as predictable as tennis

I guess everyone thought spain would win the euros this year then?(i know it can be predictable, but not always)
Euro 08 was amazing, it was the most exciting competition I've seen for abot 10 years, but I bet that Chelsea or Man Utd win the league next year (unless Arsenal do)

Clearly the solution to this is to have power-ups with random effects according to how behind you are. So, for instance, if you are two sets behind and you run over the power-up, you may get a flaming tennis-ball or even a lightning bolt which shrinks your opponent to quarter size - whereas, if they pick it up, they just get, oh, a short speed bonus or something.
The game could also be improved by the introduction of a bonus round whereby extra points were gained by knocking down wood pigeons flying overhead - and perhaps by replacing the net with a wall of distintegrating bricks.

I for one am so shocked by the Federer-Nadal fixture for the final that I've decided to become a monk and devote my life to the service of our lord Jesus Christ. Although on the other hand, any other outcome was about as likely as a Nobel peace prize for Robert Mugabe. Who will win? Who gives a fuck, they've both got enough trophies to sink a battleship already

And I'm not happy about what appears to be the systematic elimination of all the good looking female players in the early rounds either

Yes of course and she was already an established tennis star when she emigrated at the age of 18months. How dare we claim her as our own!

Yesterday's Ferderer v Safin match was great. No towel downs between each point or shouting like a banshee when a point was won. Never mind Murray and the crowd against Gasguet the crowd today for the 14 year old English girl and the 16 year old from somewhere else was a bloody disgrace. Wimbledon has to be the least sporting crowd going. I know they get behind the underdog but only when they see a fighter. A superstar with a Lear jet gets them wet and some poor fucker who lives in a carvan gets ignored when they step on the court.

But do you apply that principle to other sports? For instance, did you not bother watching the 2002 World Cup final on the basis that both Brazil and Germany had plenty of trophies already and there wasn't much of a surprise about either reaching the final?I for one am so shocked by the Federer-Nadal fixture for the final that I've decided to become a monk and devote my life to the service of our lord Jesus Christ.

It is nice to have surprises and new talent emerging, but if those reaching the final are the best and most talented in the tournament, then I'd much rather they do make it even if they were the odds-on favourites.
I absolutely loathed tennis growing up. My parents used to take holiday and wake up at all hours of the morning to watch Wimbledon (from the US) when I was a kid, which meant I couldn't watch Sesame Street.
But last year I had the norovirus during Wimbledon and was confined to the sofa for two days, I'm totally hooked! It's so exciting, especially when you get a good pair going. Take the Murry match - that was almost purely psychological, Gasquet was a better player (I think). It was amazing to watch him fade and Murry take over.

They're just really good on grass. Which is odd because they train in Florida and there aren't many grass courts in Florida. It's like Wimbledon was made for them.

Eh?
The crowd were behind the British girl, and that's completely understandable. But they weren't booing the Thai girl or anything. How were they a disgrace and unsporting? The Wimbledon crowd are more sporting than the audience for any other sporting events.
