Wimbledon Preview

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

^ You forgot one other Spanish fella, who if he gets past week 1 is right up there with Muzza.

i didn't forget rafa..his recent 2012-2014 grass record is 2-4 :s he's gone from awesome on grass to a hippo on stilts on grass:huh: anyhow I might add his name when i'm sure he will play Wimbledon. i'll have my magic 10 top Wimbledon tips then !.

he's playing an exhibition tourney at hurlingham, a private club in London..its fenced off don't you know. he's been moaning about his back again and sounded like he's going to see how it goes at this exho before deciding to play, the drift I was getting was he wasn't sure..could be 2009 time again. that's the impression I got.

Where did you read that he's going to see how it goes before he decides if to play? He's going to play to get some more practice on grass as he only got one match in Halle. Apparently he hasn't picked up a racket since being home so hopefully his back will be feeling better as he'll need his serve in Wimbledon.

i cannot recall exactly where I read it..anyway it was the vibes I was getting, as I said, lets wait and see, 90%-95% prob rafa gonna play wimby.

Here he is, the hippo on stilts

^^yayy..a hippo on stilts pic ..and as we can see it also looks exactly like nadal on grass from 2012-2014.

no wonder he won hardly any grass matches in those years. :snigger

If Nadal survives his first 2 rounds , he takes the trophy

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

If Nadal survives his first 2 rounds , he takes the trophy

surely nadal takes the trophy if he survives the first 7 rounds ?.

 

[Fiero425]

If Nadal survives his first 2 rounds , he takes the trophy

Well that's saying an awful lot! Good luck! :clap :lolz: :snigger :laydownlaughing :angel:

Am I imagining it or are the Fedfans getting nastier about Rafa than usual?

The draw tomorrow, I wish this thing would get over itself and start already. The World Cup is fine, but it isn't a patch on Wimbledon...

I'm sure you remember the rabid, foaming mouths of the Sampras fans as Roger approached 14 majors. Now we're seeing some Fed fans in a lather since Rafa just hit 14. If he gets to 15, then 16 -- look out! Breughel paintings are more serene.

 

[Kieran]

Already they're getting like Hieronymous Bish-Bosh! :laydownlaughing

That's it! And I hope to add to my viewing pleasure after Wimbo...

I hope not

If Nadal survives his first 2 rounds , he takes the trophy

Can't he be beaten in 3rd round ???

Exactly.

I'd have to see Rafa make the second week, and show improvement and strength as he progresses, before I'd say he's in with a shot. If he gets through the first two rounds, that might not tell us much...

He could be beaten in any round.

Absolutely my dear
