First round vs JCF Ferrero at his prime is not a candidate on grass

2nd round vs Harrison or Lu. Lu beat Roddick here before and very good on grass but Nole shall still be able to pass them

3rd likely vs Stepanek. another player passed his prime but can be dangerous.

4th round Is wide open as the seed Granollers and Monaco on grass are more like miracle on ice. Troicki or Chardy?

QF :scared: Berdych. Time for revenge?

SF :facepalm: Federer. Of course they are always in the same half :shrug:

Best of luck Nole (and Lee :p) - you can do this.

And if someone takes out Nadal (i.e. Tsonga), brilliant. I could then actually watch a potential Fed-Nole SF without tension.

I did :) it was a fun exo match, some really great rallies too. Novak was being cute, the ridiculous man. All in all, for someone who was being cautious so as not to risk injury, his form was pretty good. A lot of going to the net.

I decided that Tsonga will beat Nadal, and lose to Murray. And all will be well :angel:

Hey where is the enthusiasm people? Just 10 posts so far. :awww:
I guess the drama at RG was too exhausting. At least it was for me.
No expectations this time, so whatever happens is welcome. Ajde Nole! :cheerleader:

AJDE NOLE!!

I think the main hurdle is Berdych. Roger is not as dangerous for Nole as Tomas. Nole's draw is doable, and Roger's draw is a cake-walk. Perfect conditions for Roger to get cocky and think that he can engage in back-hand to back-hand rallies from the baseline against Nole. I can't wait for that semi. :devil:

Let's do this, Nole! :cheerleader::cheerleader::cheerleader:

I hope I'm still allowed to cheer on Nole in here tomorrow even though I have a Hewitt avatar now :awww:

I went down to the store today and bought a fortnight's worth of strawberries and tea :hearts:

Of course :D when you cheered for him and had a Nole avatar he didnt win, so this can be a good change. :D

Re: Grass is made for eating! Wimbledon cheering thread: R1 vs JC Ferrero

I think it's fairly logical in believing he has a better chance of winning when I don the Hewitt avatar.

I'm going tomorrow and Tues (and maybe Weds) - gonna get a grounds ticket when i get there, so no Nole (might see him on the big screen though), but gonna go see all the interesting R1 matches - hopefully Baker plays after 5:30 :p

:D

Re: Grass is made for eating! Wimbledon cheering thread: R1 vs JC Ferrero

Any discount? How many hours of tennis left after 5?
£14 is the late entry price I believe. Not sure how much the normal ground tickets are/whether they are the same price... light stops plays about 9:30 or so, so I'll get a decent amount of tennis - looking at the schedule, I'll probably be able to see Almagro, Mahut, Malisse, maybe The Fog, Petzschner matches, which is certainly fine by me :) I'm sure I'll just be going round "sampling" the courts.

:unsure:What's the weather like for tomorrow?
this is the only issue :p

should be fine though, tomorrow meant to sunny with clouds, no sign of rain.

Re: Grass is made for eating! Wimbledon cheering thread: R1 vs JC Ferrero

If you have the chance, cheer X-man for me :D

But I know you prefer the Fog :p
will do!

to give X his due, he's further up the sig :p (gonna have to bump Fog up a bit... :lol:)

Big fan of Ferrero as well :( Damn this draw!

Re: Grass is made for eating! Wimbledon cheering thread: R1 vs JC Ferrero

I won't be able to watch Nole's match tomorrow because it's at 7am for me and I have to leave for work at 7.30am. I'll just catch a couple of games and hopefully relax after seeing him in good shape.

I hope Nole has a good start. :)

Re: Grass is made for eating! Wimbledon cheering thread: R1 vs JC Ferrero

There is something weird happened to me. Last year just before the SF vs Tsonga in Wimbledon, I dreamt Novak winning Wimbledon for the 1st time. I was really upset when I woke up and found out it was just a dream. :sad: Nole still has to win 2 matches to win the title and fulfill his dream. I thought my dream was a sign that he will win the title and he indeed won. :D I couldn't believe it really. :D That probably was my happiest tennis moment in my life.

Yesterday, I dreamt he wins Wimbledon for the 2nd time. WTF??!!!:lol: Is this a sign too? :D Maybe ?! I hope. :D

:D

:wavey: Djoko fans!

I wanted to be awake early to see this really stupendous time for Nole. I think one of the great moments in a player’s life is to step out on Centre Court as The Champion. Wimbledon makes that a special occasion and it’s one of the nicest things about the tournament.

Now I realize that even tho I got up at 4:30 a.m. that special time doesn’t happen until 6 a.m. my time. :p :p

hi guysss ;)
Nole Rules, i hope that your dream will come true, this time too :drool:
I am very excited to see him stepping out on the court. Wish him all the luck:)
somehow i feel he won't need it. he must be very confident and that's it.
when i was younger i used to cheer for ferrero so it will be very interesting to watch two of my favourite players. thank you wimbledon draw :worship:
