There is quite a lot of interest in Tennis all year round up here it has to be said.


Will they cheer for a Scot or will the media christen him British ?

I think you know the answer to that yourself!

One thing I am sure of though is that Timmy's Army who famously turn up in their St Georges' Cross bowler hats will NOT be swapping them for a Saltire hat instead. :wink:

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

It's a crying shame that Nadal is out. The past two finals have been as good a sport as you're ever likely to see.

I can't see too much trouble for Roger in his half of the draw. Nadal's absence has blown the top half of the draw wide open. I don't see Murray being able to cope with the pressure of being the highest seed in the that half.

I always expect Andy Roddick to do better at SW19 and 20/1 with Coral I think that probably offers the best value for an each way punt.

Now that Murray is the top seed in his half of the draw I am really hoping for a Federer vs Murray final.

Murray's form at Queen's was superb, and he eased to the title. He didn't look to suffer at all from the pressure put on him and his grass court game has improved hugely.

I'd say Federer is a given in his half of the draw.

Talk of Roddick confuses me a little. Obviously he still has a monster serve but the best can cope with it, and I see him being out classed by Federer/Murray (which ever he faces first).

In short, COME ON MURRAY!

There are far more threats in Federer's half of the draw than the top half for my money...players such as Kohlschreiber, Tsonga, Karlovic, Darcis, Djokovic, Tipsarevic, Fish, Cilic, Querrey, Del Potro are all lurking in his half and could all, on their day, cause an upset.

In Murray's half there aren't nearly as many who could IMO...Roddick, Safin and Blake are the only ones I reckon could challenge Muzza.

I'll be mega bold and go for a Murray v Cilic final!

One final thing...if Cilic plays Djokovic in the QF's will the fans be scrapping like they were in Oz??
