Wimbledon 2010 Men

[BB73]

Who claims the title on Centre Court on July 4th?

 

[Bucknut24]

wish I had more points so I could bet in these things...

really hope Roddick can have a repeat performance from last year, but not holding my breath...I say since Spain just got upset by Switzerland, Federer will beat Nadal in the finals...and for yet another year, Andy Murray will fail

Spring Drive

Federer could probably win this one with one hand behind his back. I can't see anyone contesting him on grass and will be surprised if Nadal makes it to the finals. If Murray is in his way, Roger will just wear him down and the crowd will not be able to help him.​

ok, did I just see that correctly, Federer loses the first set 7-5, wow, while I'm sure he'll win in 4, still amazing, it rarely seems he loses a set in the first rd

He dropped the first two sets to some guy namd Falla, 5-7. 4-6. They're on serve in the 3rd set - it's on ESPN2.

 

[BB73]

Fed serving at 4-4, love-40.

edit - Fed saved 4 break points and held serve. If Falla had converted any of those, he would have served for the match, and he had just held at love his previous service game.

Davydenko is also down 2 sets.

 

[BB73]

Fed won the third set 6-4. Odds are Falla will now crack mentally after being so close to serving for the match.

Edit - Hmmm, Falla up an early break in the 4th.

 

[BB73]

Fed in a 4th set tiebreaker right now.

Edit - he won it easily and now has an early break in the 5th. Falla's starting to look tired - he missed his chance when he served for the match in the 4th set.

 

[BB73]

Bagel in the 5th. Fed survives, 5-7. 4-6. 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-0.

 

[Bucknut24]

so pissed class caused me to miss that match, was getting updates from a friend while sitting in Anatomy&Physiology, had a feeling once I heard Falla blew his chance at 5-4 in the 4th, thought it was over cause Fed would just turn it on.....I bet Roddick went from a Happy Panda to a Sad Panda.

 

[BB73]

Isner is in the 5th set on ESPN2 right now.

It's 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 27-27 right now - the longest match in Wimbledon history.

 

[Bucknut24]

29-28 now this is ridiculous ....Bryan Bros predicted this morning that it would be 30-28 Isner

 

[BB73]

First time I've seen 30-30 as the score of the set, and not the game. :tongue2:

 

[BB73]

Isner has 74 aces, closing in on Karlovic's record of 78.

Combined aces of 137, smashing the old record of 84.

They just broke the record for the longest match in tennis history in terms of time, 6 h 33 minutes from the 2004 French Open between Santoro and Clement. Both matches occurred over 2 days.

It's now 32-32.
