Wimbledon '09

Give us the approved line then God.

In almost 4 and a half hours, 3 or 4 games out of 77 went against serve. It's not my idea of decent sport.

But we all know the BBC's relationship with the All England Club, and we all know there's never been anything less that a 'fantastic' final.

This is precisely why it was 'decent sport'.

I don't expect to watch the ashes and see bowlers bowling people out ffs. That's not decent sport. i want to see 6 6s in an over.

15-love, 30-love, 40-love, game.

/repeat with small variations for 4 1/2 hours.

Really? That would be my idea of Cricket Gorn To The Dogs.

Perhaps they should abolish the 2nd serve. Would simplify the game.

I don't want to see that at all - i was parodying L_c's apparent approach.

Got to say, i hate 20/20 but i was at one of the great games week before last, Somerst/Glocs. I'm slightly warming to it -esp as it's developing an attacking mentality in the proper game -see Somerset chasing down 476 (in less than one day!) on friday.

I've been saying that for years, myself. Second serve is much closer to 50/50 win/lose, which would make for more interesting games.

 

[starfish]

yeah - poor blighter only has shit loads of money for finishing runner up to console himself.

Bless him.

Yeah, about £400k but im sure he'd swap the cheque for the trophy & the title of Wimbledon Champion.

I was thinking the other day, a Scotman playing tennis is about as rare as a Scotsman with a wallet, has there been a previous one of any standard (tennis players)?
