  Nadal will sort this now ( 19.06 my time ),

  so my semi tickets still good for a Roger / Rafa showdown ? :)

  How good is Krygios playing / played ? Future star or one hit wonder ??

  Couldn't get tickets for the Final, well I could but £14,000 seemed alot for the privilege !! lol

  The match that I wanted to see anyway ( if it happens ) another round to play....

  VAMOS RAFA !!

  If any you WGTers are over there on Friday, it'd be good to meet up..

  Might even buy you some strawberries, cream too if I like you  :))))

  I'm no Tennis fan but world #1 Nadal getting knocked out by a 144th seed ouch! On a worse note i consider myself a Football fan,but didn't stop me losing £50 in play on Argentina beating Switzerland :(

  Yup, hurt me....let's hope he is not a one hit wonder...

  Couple of semi final tickets if anyone interested ?

  Not worth my flight and hotel bill now.

  Be on E bay in 5 mins.....!!

  I would hope it is the former. He has been touted in Australia as a potential future #1 - only time will tell.

  Terrific forehand, booming serve but also seems to have the most import want and will to win - the mental strength that is needed at top level.

  He has won the Australian Open Boys singles, Wimbledon Doubles boys crown too, so can perform against peers, and he is young.

  Wish I was there for the strawberries and cream, but without the offer of the champers........

  Been a number of years since I went to Wimbledon, when I was living In London and was home, I would go down for the outside courts - always fun. Only once did I go to a finals day, well SF by virtue of corporate hosting lol.

  Ya 13,000 quid, no thanks.....

  Ditto, 2001 last time...

  Had Final tickets ..easier to get back then !  tho was miles away from the action, was up in 3rd class lol

  Great match and was on the fence as Goran and Pat both my kind of competitors, serve volleyer's too which is an art form in itself which seems lost to the game nowadays......

  Had courtside 3rd row this time left of members box...2 year wait and was buzzing when the draw came out..Roger / Rafa..result !

  Now....oye oye oye...:((

  Andy ( gutted ! ) on the flip side, made £200.00 on reselling tickets :)

  Yup ^^ , or nurse a glass of beer a set...

  Not a football match where you stick a bottle of spirits down the back of the pants  lol

  Yes £8 a Pimms with 1% alcohol, bloody bargain. £800 later you'll be plastered.

  Could be interested in the tickets if they are for sale, will take my own flask.
