Thread: 2016 Wimbledon

  1. #1

    2016 Wimbledon

    The draw got made for the 2016 Wimbledon Championships.

    Andy Murray will play fellow Brit Liam Broady in round one, meanwhile James Ward will play Novak Djokovic.

    Murray's possible route to the final will be;

    1st round - Liam Broady
    2nd round - Lu Yen-hsun
    3rd round - Benoit Paire
    Last 16 - Nick Kyrgios
    Quarter Finals - Richard Gasquet
    Semi Finals - Stan Wawrinka
    Final - Novak Djokovic

    I don't envisage any problems before the semi final stage.

    Think Wawrinka could get del Potro in the 2nd round. Not an easy one for him. Could help Murray in his section.

    Andy Murray cruising through his second round match against Yen Hsun-Lu and will play John Millman in round three as he's just beaten Benoit Paire.

    Made McEnroe look like a choir boy. Amazing

    It's really not on stuff like that but I do love to see pro sportsmen showing passion.

    He'll get a dressing down for it but these things happen.

    Similar to stuff my 8 year old shouts at me when I give her a row.

    Djokovci definitely in the more difficult could have to play Raonic, Federer before the final.

    Would be great if he has some tough matches but mind you he never seems to get tired!

    Sure you will. The first time I walked through the gates of Wimbledon and went into the Centre Court and saw the Royal box etc for the first time, I was genuinely overawed.

    Such an iconic place.

    Del Po knocks out Stan in 4 sets. Really opens up that side of the draw for Andy.

    Serena Williams stepping it up a notch after losing the first set, she's 2 breaks up in the second. She is a machine when she gets going!

    Women's tennis doesn't normally do it for me, but that match was superb.

    United we stand here....

    Djokovic a set and break down and 0-40 in the current game.

    He's in trouble.

    Same here, normally can't be arsed with it but that swung both ways. Serena is so so good, even when she's not at her best. The girl McHale played some real gritty stuff in that third set.

    Loses second set 6-1 I'm watching the football now but I'm guess djokovic is limping around feigning injury and about to call the trainer.

    He should be warned about that. Really pisses me off. When he is in trouble, feign injury.

    I hope so but you just know Djokovic will pull it back. Seen it before - he gets a break/injury when losing and he gets his stuff back together to pull out a win.

    It wouldn't even be a surprise if he came back to win, and only dropped a couple of games over the entire 3 sets.

    Hopefully he loses though!

    Yeah. Like I said the they should warn him about this feigning of injury when he is behind. Think I first saw it in the Aussie open final against Murray when Murray had a good patch in it and he started limping around. Then when the tide turned, he's running around fresh as a daisy. Prick

    Its cheating, plain and simple.

    Querrey just threw away a big chance to break in the 4th and now toiling to hold on his own serve.

    Does hold though.
