I think if he gets to the semifinals, he will have done really well--considering the 3 strong players above him.

There are only 2 top men players left now, as Nadal was upset by 100th ranked Rosol in a 5-set second round match.

A friend of mine won tickets for Wimbledon and is travelling down tomorrow, he is an avid tennis player anyway so he will love this.

My sisters workmate got tickets for Centre Court yesterday, so was there to see Nadal get beaten, plus a few other matches.

Andy Murray won his match today against Baghdatis in 4 sets, so he may coast into the Wimbledon Finals next week!

I actually stayed up to watch some of Andy Murray--well done to him--but it seemed strange seeing live tv at 11.00 at night !!

It looked very cosy Marian. In fact that is probably the longest time I have ever spent watching Tennis, Harry likes Tennis but not really my favourite sport, although it was quite enjoyable last night.

I had a very lazy day yesterday, and watched right through until 11.00 pm !
Although I am not a Fan of Andy Murray, Good-Luck to him !

I do really wish he would smile :D a little.

Andy Murray was rushing Baghdatis when they changed ends at nearly 11.00............so he could finish before the dreaded curfew time arrived :lol: :lol:
