2016 Wimbledon: London Sidewalk Cafe Chats

[Carol]

Off of topic but this guy, Josh Berry is very impressive and funny doing some tennis players impressions and more with different voices :lulz2:

 

[Carol]

Oops, sorry guys, I should post that "impressions" on the 'jokes thread'

 

[Carol]

Anyway I don't think these tournaments mean too much about how the players will do in Wimbledon, it works more like a good training than anything else

That guy was good. I can't believe how well he did Berdych

Yep, I've never seen before someone doing those impressions so well

Me either, he was spot on with David Ferrer, McEnroe, and I absolutely loved his Robbie Koenig. I thoroughly enjoyed that video. Glad you put it in the wrong place because I never would've found it.

Thanks for posting, the guy is sensational. We often sound to people like Americans, I guess because we say sound R like some of them so no wonder he imitated No1e that way.

Changing my mind about who might be coming like a freight train, Young Zverev! He's got it all, all he needs it so fully grow into it. He's as complete as Thiem, but doesn't have the adult frame, weight, and experience. I think he's going straight to the top and taking scalps on his way...unless the landscape changes yet again and someone springs up out of nowhere like Kyrgios did, who is another headed for the top if he can manage his emotions and temper.

I looked at singles race and realised Thiem is very likely to be top 5 or possibly better by the end of the year. He's ranked #4 in the race list currently.

I bet he'll qualify for Masters

Wimbledon 2007. This Mach was incredible good, Nadal 21 years old playing against the best grass player at that time, and the next year also both players but a different result. I'm waiting to see a player at that age playing so well like he did........I'm still waiting.......

That's going to be a large order to fill. I'm still in awe of Rafa's maturity at that age. No one else is even close. He not only did the dang thang, but he backed it up year after year. I am so grateful to be his fan. He embodies all that I find dear.

Lendl says Murray can end Djokovic's 'golden slam' dream

Andy Murray has what it takes to ruin Novak Djokovic's dreams of sweeping to a 'golden slam', coach Ivan Lendl has said as the Scot prepares for another tilt at the Wimbledon title.

"We know Andy has it in him. So now the question is 'can he do it again?' I think that's an easier question to answer than 'can you do it at all?'"

Hope Murray and Ivan can do it
