I'm sure you can hear him whistling 50 cent on the changeovers.He is in a hurry to go to the clubs before too late. That is where the real fun happens.

Kyrgios plays too fast for his own good. He should get some advice from Nadal or Djokovic.
Just googled Ernie's wife. She is gorgeous, Russian photomodel.
They have a daughter born in March this year.
After two full rounds (except for one postponed match) are over, it is time to consult the bookies again.
Here are the latest odds.
1. Federer 21/20 (49%)
2. Novak 11/2 (15%)
3. Rafa 6 (14%)
4. JMDP 12 (8%)
5. Raonic / Nick 16 (6%)
7. Anderson 50 (2%)
8. Edmund / Isner 80 (1.2%)
10. Querry / Khachanov / Tsitsipas / Nishikori 100 (1%)
Important observations / changes:
1. Finally, there is significant increase in Fed's chances. It increased from 38% to 49% with the loss of Cilic.
2. We now have only three contenders (10% chance or more).
3. Novak moves ahead of Rafa, though the difference is marginal.
4. The chances for JMDP, Raonic and Nick all have increased by about 2%
5. Edmund and Isner break out of other suckers.
6. Khachanov and Tsitsipas enter, just in case anyone wants to donate money to the house.
7. List size reduced to 13 from previous 15.
Note that there are different companies offering different odds for the same players. What I report is the worst odds offered by any company for that player. In other words, if you have decided to put money on a particular player, no company offers you better odds than the ones listed above. If you are wondering why Sasha is missing here, that is because one house has dropped his odds to 500 (while most other houses list him between 16 and 25). Since I use the maximum odds offered by any single house, his name does not figure in the list above.
Now is a good time to bet on Fed. If you bet $100 on Fed, you will get $200. Not bad. 100% return in just two weeks. The best portfolio in stock market gives you 10% return in an year.
200 MPH return that Kei hits a winner off of. Nicky is going to go crazy
On the other hand, Rafa could well beat Roger, should they get to the final, and that's got to weigh on you, because that would be disastrous for anyone who tries to posit that 2008 was a fluke. You'd be better off sticking with your usual position, which is that Rafa loses asap in all tournaments. The last thing you want is a Fedal final again. B-)I am torn as to whether I want to have Rafa in the final. This is not because I am afraid that Fed will lose against Rafa this year in the final. I am confident that Fed will win.
On the one hand if Fed beats up Rafa in the final, it will be sort of like a completion and revenge over the 2008 loss which gets blown up by the media. Hopefully, Wirthiem can write a sequel vol. 2 of his book.
On the other hand even if Fed beats up Rafa in the final, everyone would say, hey it is expected and so there is nothing great about it. In fact, people might say that Rafa is so great, he managed to reach the finals at his worst surface even after having several bad years.
Exceptional first week for Fed. Not being taken to even a TB against an inform big hitting Struff sums up his level. As Fed says, you can't win Wimbledon in the first week but you can certainly lose it so good job Fed. Couldn't have asked for more after the atrocious Halle.
With the Cilic upset, Fed looks like a lock for the final. Raonic will test him if he makes the SF but even in 2016, Fed should've closed him in 4 so a well playing Fed will be too much for Botnic. Fed will be damn motivated, he's not gonna let such an opportunity slip.
After seeing fakervic today, he's almost back to slam winning level. Beat a peaking crowd favourite after dropping the first set in convincing fashion, seems to have got his GOAT return back and defense was very good. He looks like a lock for the final unless an upset out of the blue.
Nadull is a question mark, if he'll make the final or he'll go out to fakervic in the SF or Delshitro in the QF but I'm picking Federer vs fakervic in the final with Fed taking revenge of the 2 Wimbledon final defeats with better returning and wiser tactics with Lubecheck.
So all in all, Fed vs fakervic final with Fed winning in 3/4.
Who you got for the final my man? And will it be #9 and #21 on July 15?
