[Frontpage] Wimbledon 2010 Preview

Didn’t see any action today due to a cunt of a day at work, but was keeping an eye on the text commentary of the Federer game. Seemed like a great one. I think it’s fair to say that would have been the biggest shock in the history of tennis.

Djokovic struggling a little now. Streaming:

Don’t see this on BBC3 or BBC4, don’t understand why they don’t use one of their secondary channels for the live tennis constantly.

Cheers Rocko. The bonus is you get to experience the American commentary. Djokovic looking to take it to the ‘ultimate set’ here.

Very close to throwing it away there Djokovic, you’d imagine he’ll go on and win now.

Rochus gets the early break in the fifth. Been high quality stuff from what I’ve seen so far.

Djokovic responded well with 3 breaks and is serving for the match now. Match has to end at eleven so he’ll want to wrap it up quickly.

I presume once a game has started it has to finish? Super final set performance by Djokovic.

Well they can rain off mid game I think.

It’s a legal thing the eleven curfew I think but I’m sure they’ll be able to stretch it by a minute or two. Excellent match this.

Mammoth match going on here between Isner and Mahut (although it was two sets all when they started today). 25-24 to Isner in the fifth. I was going to back 6-0 Mahut last night when it was just going into the fifth (only because it was 500/1 and I had a spare 60c in my account).

Waiting on Isner to bring up a nice treble.

Come on the lanky Yank

I’d a Dolgopolov-Reister double yesterday. I dare say that won’t be beaten by anyone on here this Wimbledon.

40-39 and no sign of this ending anytime soon

The Inser V Muhat match is breaking all sorts of records, Longest match in history and Inser has the most aces ever in a match (79), It’s 38-38 in the fifth set.

41-40 to Isner. This is insane.

Is there point at this stage really? The winner has to play his next round tomorrow.

Going almost 8 hours apparently. There have to be laws against this sort of thing.

There must also a be a maximum betting oppurtunity here as soon as this finishes.

Isner looks like he’s about to collapse. He’s just played a fresh air shot.

The fella with the hat just completely missed the ball there with one swing. The 2 of them completely shattered and not even running for half the points!!

I’ve just looked up the draw. Isner is the No. 23 seed. The winner plays Thiemo de Bakker of Holland who only won his own first round match 16-14 in the fifth set.

Mahut smells blood here I feel.
