Hi Guys & Gals,

Wimbledon starts this Monday 23rd of June 2014 to Sunday 6th of July 2014

Can Andy Murray defend his 2013 win ?

I remember the positive atmosphere when Andy managed to take the win against Novak Djokovic.  

Well he did become the first man from Great Britain to win the singles title since Fred Perry in 1936.  

The womens final between Marion Bartoli, {winner} and Sabine Lisicki was a very good final too.

Now England are out of the World Cup Football we need something else to cheer on.

Shock knockouts of seeds yesterday.

Nadal and Sharapova !

shame about Sharapova = I like her

Nadal well = yes I enjoy watching him play, but 'one down' means more chance for our Marvellous Murray

yep I know I'm heavily biased towards the Scot = he's gutsy for one thing & can really play

wonder what Djokovic & Federer (my mum's favourite) are doing?

'anyone for tennis'?

I was really shocked about Nadal being beaten. I also see the Williams sisters had to retire from their doubles due to a viral infection.

My all time favourite player was Nastase. (mind you he was in the crowd at Wimbledon on Saturday and looked a bit of a twonk in that get up):happy-smiley58:

And yes Andy is doing well. I personally just wish he would show a tad more excitement. When he gives an interview, I find myself drifting off

Still I have my fingers crossed for him. Go Andy.

I still can't watch Murray without thinking about the old Monty Python sketch with a Scotsman playing a blancmange.

I'm still rooting for him despite the fact that we are told he is Scottish when he wins and British when he loses

I must have missed that sketch @aldaweb 

(could you explain exactly what he was doing with said blancmange?...

[aldaweb]

Playing tennis at Wimbledon of course 

It's in part 2 of the Scifi sketch below but to get context you may want to watch pt 1 first.

Oh yes...the Blancmange v Podgorny....and then the blancmange gets eaten

I had forgotten about  that.

Monty Python at their very best. ....
