What time is sharapova playing ? hottest tennis player since chris evert in my book !

Just noticed she's playing now.

[PaulWinch again]

Kirilenko vs Robson is contest of two pretty attractive ladies.

[OCD]

So much for the dream Quarter-final match of Nadal-Federer and the paths the media were plotting for each of the top players.

Good riddance you glory-hunting, shampoo-dodging, bull-murdering, time-wasting, arse-picking, pig-grunting, cheating bastard.

[Jane]

Good riddance you glory-hunting, shampoo-dodging, bull-murdering, time-wasting, arse-picking, pig-grunting, cheating bastard.

How can a 12 grand slam winner *not* be a glory hunter?

[ADVILLAFAN]

Comes from Mallorca, uncle played for Mallorca, supports Real Madrid = wanker

[Jane]

Oh, for some reason I thought we were judging him on his tennis ability - my mistake

[Dave Cooper please]

I'm not totally convinced that his tennis ability is all you are judging him on Jane.

Nadal was full of praise for the victor - sign of a good sportsman that , could've make excuses about his knee etc, but fair play too him - classy !

[Dante Lavelli]

Heavily implicated in the Fuentes case so I'm not sure I could call him classy or indeed a good sportsman. The way the French media report the case suggest that there's a good chance that it is true.

I do find that interesting because, in my admittedly small amount of tennis knowledge, I remember thinking when Nadal went from great clay court player to all round exceptional player it was largely tied to a big improvement in his fitness.

Come on Tiger Tim!

[ADVILLAFAN]

Heather Watson is out - think only Robson is left out of the British women and she'll be underdog against Kirilenko (Mrs Redsox).

[PeterWithesShin]

Robson takes the first set.

[cdbearsfan]

Robson two breaks up in the second set. Very impressive apparently, I've just got in and started watching.
