Wimbledon - who will win?

[andycapp]

My money is on Lleyton Hewitt in the mens and Serena Williams in the womens.

Not sure on the men's, but I like Venus in the women's.

Wimbledon is for those fast serving, volley players. Usually it's very boring to watch the men play wimbledon, since the ball usually only go two or three times over the net.

I think Lleyton Hewitt has a good chance to win.

Lleyton Hewitt.

No offence to the english, but I sure hope Henman doesn't.

 

[Zwelgje]

All Dutch players are out. We had 2 left in the quarter-finals but they both lost in five sets...

 

[Kennelly]

You don't really have a reason to be sad.I think no German even reached 1/8 final and only two round three.The times of Boris,Steffi and Michael are really over.

I think Hewitt and and Serena will win.

BTW, who are these guys Malisse and Nalbandian?

In the men's competition, Lleyton Hewitt.

To quote the hilarious movie Top Secret "In women's tennis, I always root against the heterosexual."

You've got to go for Williams in the women's final.

In the men's I want Hewitt to win. Not only because Henman is so utterly tedious and it would annoy countless blue-rinsed old grannies in Middle England, wheresoever that may be, but also because I seem to remember him getting all crazy at Wimbledon a few years back and everyone tutting in the usual way, saying that such characters wouldn't ever win at a gentle sport like tennis. Fools. Don't they remember the 70s bad boys, admittedly all soft these days. We need someone with a bit of fire to erase the dull Sampras from the memory.

Wow - I've written quite a bit and don't even like tennis particularly. Playing's all right but it's almost as dull to watch as the Grand Prix these days. Mind you, my girlfriend quite likes it and I always seem to pick the weekend of the finals to go and visit my parents so my dad'll be watching on Sunday (weather permitting).

I'd quite like to see the bloke who beat Lapenti last night win it (name?) or the Belgian (Malisse?) - mainly because it was so good last year to see the outsider win - would be nice to see it again. Not much chance though

 

[Globber]

Ya, Ivanisevic was fun to watch last year because he was an underdog in every single match he played, and had the kind of fire Duke is talking about, alas, he's just getting too old to play like that anymore

 

[Kennelly]

Sorry for the Brits:Henman is out.

Australia rules.

 

[Zwelgje]

Hewitt is going to win, for sure. I think he will have no problems whatsoever with his opponent in the final!

 

[Kennelly]

andycapp and I were right:Serena has won.

 

[watto]

And now for the double - Lleyton Hewitt - could be a nice little earner!

 

[bobgote]

Yay Lleyton!! I love it when Australians win. Let's hope he does

 

[Simon Darkshade]

He won.
AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE! OI! OI! OI!

And he is from Adelaide... I can predict what the newspaper front page is going to be about this morning...

 

[andycapp]

Lleyton Hewitt you're a champ and you've brought me home the Wimbledon double - now, off to collect my winnings!

 

[Zwelgje]

Great performance of Lleyton, being number one and living up to the high expectations, unlike all the other seeded players....
