2017 Wimbledon Championships - Men

Always like listening to Ubaldo and Steve Flink. Flink gets it right far more regularly than Tignor and Bodo.

He will defeat Isner..as you know once a player returns one of Isners serves, his movement is horrendous

I see that being close to 50-50. Deficiencies and all for Isner I still consider him mentally more stable than Grigor.

Too much noise from the cars and motorcycles around but they are right, some players were injured already but the money first

Now we'll find out just how gimpy Muzz is. If Kei can stay vertical, he should get by the Stak in no more than 4. Muller will come through and Jerzy is not the player he was.

Murray v Brown is the most intriguing clash for sure. I love watching Brown play, real entertainer, but smart money is on Murray if he's remotely fit.

I can't remember who said it, but it was one of the commentators this morning (not Flink or Ubaldo) that the player should get the money AND pull out in the first round clashes... at least somebody else will get the opportunity.

Well I am not gonna be one to champion Grigor's chances but he is overdue.

Yeah, they say that they can get at least some money (I'm no sure but I understood around 40.000?) but I agree that they should give the oportunity to others

 

[the AntiPusher]

Ugh you're going to ruin the Jaime Lannister character for me if you keep calling Nadal the Kingslayer.

Yeah, we know you would never consider Rafa a lannister not even Tyrion..LOL

I still think they should split the points and the money with the lucky loser who takes their slot.

Hope Muzz pass that test, if he plays well he will

I do like them but it's rather hilarious that they have to do commentary in full traffic.

Murray game is built to deal with the types like Brown ..

If his is, then why not Nadal's? Brown is hyper-aggressive on grass. Murray doesn't react any better to having his time taken away than Nadal, I'd say. Why would he handle Brown better than Nadal, on paper?

Even that disastrous result by Rafa I haven't seen Brown going too far in any tournament, but you know...he got very famous like others.....

Brown played an unorthodox dink and change of pace game to never let Rafa get into any type of rhythm. Murray can play the role at times of a glorified pusher and he has the depth of shot to baffled the antics of a Brown. I think Rafa was playing too far back and unaggressively style of play in 2012-2016. Moya and Toni have fixed Rafa 's style of play and nobody is worried bout the likes of Brown, Darcus or Fronty's beloved Rosol..

There's a change in Rafa demeanor, he looks hungry again . I am encouraged that he can go far once he get a few more grass court matches under his feet.

I agree. Murray can easily handle Brown. Murray can hit nice lobs once brown comes to the net and in general has lot more variety of arsenal.

TBH I hope so. Brown has a fun game, but it turns up once a year like a Christmas cake.

trust me, if I was a pro I wouldn't want any parts of a player like Brown. Murray will have a lot of passing shot attempts tomorrow

Murray has the bigger serve which is a big edge and a better return than Nadal. Even though Rafa does everything else better those things don't matter so much vs. Brown.
