I just about killed a fox of fright. Walking home about 11 o'clock at night, turned round the corner at the exact same time as the fox did from the other direction, it jumped about 3 feet in the air and scarper pretty quickly, didnt half give me a fright to.

I watched her on stage on the TV, and she is f*cking mad, and she didnt do any singing, let the crowd do it for her. Not that ia m complaining.

Thats a tune and a half, very inventive on all accounts.

That is all atmosphere, or so they say.

Having nothing to do annoys me.

You know when Clarckson said the stig had never done a lap in the reasonably priced car, that was a lie as he has a lap time on the Formula 1 race board, and is top of it.

Roddicks serve is readable, and is liable to be broken frequently, but i agree he doesnt do enough with his returning games.

I dont like Del Potro, he just annoys me, intresting that Murray is now 2nd favorite for Wimbeldon, having overtaken Nadal.

Murray and Hewitt combo, whoever is on the end of that pairing, must be thinking it is near enough the quickest double act ever. Genius. Aslo a great way to get more games on the grass.

Nadal always has had problems with his knees, that has been aparent for a while now as every now and again he doesnt play a tournament. good news for Murray, hopefull he can win Queens, his biggest threat as for as I am concerned is Gael Monfils, he is incredibly dangerous.

My point exactly.

Del Potro isnt that big a server, not compared to Roddick.

On to Queens.

you have a point, one of his coaches should slap him.

Lads we are all being overcritical. Gonzalez has won 8 out of his 11 tournaments on grass. (best surface), he is the world no. 12, a very good ranking, not too far behing andy. Murray has never won a clay title, it is his weakest surface. The stat that says it all is Murrray has played 38 clay court matches, Gonzalez has played 210, far, far, far more experianced on Clay and unfortunatly the better clay court player.

Might save some of his energy though.

To be honest, I actually think Murray looks out of place on a clay court, easily his worst surface. He doesnt have that big hitting game you are correct, but at times I think it is a good weapon to have, but as you say, they need b games, and I think Murray has about 4 or 5 if it all goes tits up for him.

Obviously, but surely soderling cant play like he has been for 3 matches ina row, he must be physically drained, the power he puts on the shots.

Has Safina not only lost 5 games in 4 matches, thats not even enough to make one set, but for a player to win 2 sets against her is going to be tough. Murray will win in 5 sets. hopefully not but i have faith that he will win, then lose in the semi's.

Federer won the 5th quite easily, shame really for Haas he was doing so well.

Haas took the first set Vs Federer.

Forgot about Del Potro, heard on the TV his outfit is something quite special.

Also Davydenko put out verdasco, who Murray would have faced in the semi's who has been brilliant at the French this year and wh oalso beat Murray at this years Aussie, before losign a 5 hour 5 setter against Nadal. If Murray beats Gonzalez - will probably play Davydenko (Soderling will blow it) And will probably face Federer in the final. Federer must be delighted, even though he has not played well he must now be favorite for the title, finally he can complate his collection. But if we goes out Murray would be the highest seed left. , he doesnt even like clay and looks akward at times, as it is his least favorite surface.

Nadal wins the tie break. But Soderling is putting up an almighty fight. Only Nadals second set lost in 3 years at roland Garos. Good win for Murray however, could he get further Gonzalez is a good player.
