Tennis 2013

New balls please.

I am not a big tennis fan but I have seen a fair bit this week due to my enforced home stay. I never realised how much of it is just about sex. It is  middle-class wankathon material. Man, woman, gay, straight it is all there for you. All those toned, athletic, sweating bodies clad in the thinnest of white.

How dare you. We only watch for the sporting excellence and can in no way be accused of either ogling or not taking the sport seriously     


Can you spot what's been photoshopped out of this picture ?

I saw the crawl on Sky Sports News saying that Bobette is thro' to the next round.

How did that happen ? The last time I flicked over from the TdF, she was about to go out in straight sets

[cdbearsfan]

She suddenly stopped playing shit. Unfortunately, this coincided with some arsehole in the pub asking them to turn over and put the racing on so I wasn't able to see it.

Robson won 10 games in a row at one stage i believe and totally turned the game on its head .

[Richard]

8 in a row actually but well played Laura

[PeterWithesShin]

Robson blows the first set in the tie-break after being 5-2 up in it.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah she should have comfortably won that.

[cdbearsfan]

Her first serve vanished when she was serving for the first set and again in the tie-break. Her second serve isn't much good but she's only 19, it'll get better.

[eastie]

Close match this robson one.

[cdbearsfan]

She needs a miracle now.

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah she's done well, but that'll be it I expect. She needs to develop from here and become more consistent.

[cdbearsfan]

Blew it in the first set. Ah well, she still lasted to the second week when normally British women don't survive till the Second Round.

[eastie]

Good effort by the aussie girl

[cdbearsfan]

Lisicki knocks out Williams! I'm amazed at that. I didn't think she'd drop a set all tournament. Great game.
