Wimbledon 2006

[SAFINNO1]

With the start of the grass season see tournaments of Queens, Halle, Nottingham and Ordina.
So i thought i would just start a thread for these tournaments which are really close to my heart all leading to the most prestigous Grand Slam - Wimbledon ;D

Anyway since we will talk about Halle in Marat's section i thought i would post the draw of Queen's which holds a significantly better draw then Halle.

(how much of a brit do i sound like right now )

[Madou]

What a draw !!!!! I can't believe how many famous players are going to be here !!! Tim got unlucky, but Andre hasn't played since a while, and above all, I think Tim is playing good tennis recently. He can definitely win this match !!!

Sabz, you sound like a brit, but you're right ;D ;D !! Bring on Wimby !!! But first, tomorrow's final

SOOO many good matches on centre court today!! it was in the background while i was studyin
murray lets say i am a bit frustrated with the guy - hopefully he will get his act together
roddick - scared me in the 1st set, but then played well (i have missed that serve of his!! )
henman - WOOHOO LAST BRIT STANDING GO TIM GO TIM!!! ;D ;D ;D
nadal - made the transition to grass well, especially playing against the in-form Fish (there was a headline somewhere which said "Nadal batters Fish" ROFL ;D like Mardy hasnt heard that before )
finally hewitt - watched the end and seemed to be playin well
