No problem ;)
Let's hope it will become a loooooong cheering thread :devil:

:bounce: Vamos Willy in Wimbly....I hope you do better than in Ordina's :scared:

:rocker:

C'mon Willy With Hairy Balls!! :rocker2:

:haha: :haha: (I have a feeling they're allright :angel: )

Vamos Willy :yeah:

:haha: I like the way you all think ;)
Good luck Willy!

Hi everybody,
I'm leaving for Wimbledon this Sunday.... Hope to catch Guillermo there!!! Wish me luck.

Oh you are sooo very lucky! Good luck and have a great time! If the heavens open up maybe I'm going to the US Open this year, maybe.

What do you guys think about Willy's draw?

Not an easy one to me. I have good hope the first 2 matches will be ok, but then there probably will be Hewitt. If he clears that, then Karlovic and Nole are in his side of the draw too.

This is Willy's quarter


Nikolay Davydenko RUS (6) vs Evgeny Korolev RUS
Alex Bogdanovic GBR vs Chris Guccione AUS
Gael Monfils FRA vs Thomas Johansson SWE
Kristof Vliegen BEL vs Juan Monaco ARG (32)


David Nalbandian ARG (23) vs Mischa Zverev GER
Frank Dancevic CAN vs Stefan Koubek AUT
Nicolas Devilder FRA vs Mariano Zabaleta ARG
Ernests Gulbis LAT vs Marcos Baghdatis CYP (10)


Lleyton Hewitt AUS (16) vs Richard Bloomfield GBR
Guillermo Garcia-lopez ESP vs Simone Bolelli ITA
Max Mirnyi BLR vs Yen-Hsun Lu TPE
Ivan Navarro pastor ESP vs Guillermo Canas ARG (22)


Filippo Volandri ITA (30) vs Nicolas Kiefer GER
Fabrice Santoro FRA vs Ivo Karlovic CRO
Amer Delic USA vs Lukas Dlouhy CZE
Potito Starace ITA vs Novak Djokovic SRB (4)

If the favourite player wins every match Willy would have to face

- Mirnyi in second Round :help:
- Hewitt in third Round :bolt:
- Djokovic in fourth Round :scared:
- Davydenko in QF :hysteric:

:scared: :scared:

I don't like his draw :sad:

And hypothetically

Nadal in Semis
Federer in Final

:lol: But I guess that's asking too much....

To be honest davydenko is the one I'd be the least afraid of... he sucks on grass.

Well, let's hope for the best and cheer for him.
Vamos Willy :)

That's true....well maybe instead of Davy there could be David :p

Anyhow....I think that Mirnyi would be tough enough for Willy to show if he's got what it takes to continue....but who knows...:shrug:

Of course we'll keep the cheering up and running :bounce:

PLease don't let Mirnyi win.... this would mean another battle with Glennmirny on GM :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Glenn isn't that bad....he doesn't like argie players...and that's it...:D

Well, he sure doesn't like me either :haha: :haha: (and I'm not an Argie...well, maybe in my mind I am, so I suppose that's why he hates me :haha:)

I don't like it at all but at least the first round wasn't as bad.
Vliegen vs Monaco, I so want Monaco to win but its a tough one for him
Andreev vs Blake, really hope that Andreev sends him packing.

Glenns been getting in battles across the boards lately, its not just you. Besides I think his hero went down today if I'm not mistaken

Yes, PLEASE let Juan win.
I never hated a single player before, but after RG I really dislike Vliegen....:devil:

C'mon Hairy Balls Willy! :banana: :lol:

Vamos!!! :lol:

WHY ?????

WHY ?????

Because of what he said about Willy in his interview before their match at RG and his behaviour during the match.

This is the post I'm referring to:

http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=103150&page=4&highlight=canas+vliegen

I followed the match on TV and Vliegen's behaviour was a disgrace :mad:

I would love to see monaco take him out in straight sets.

If willy wins his opening round and that happened I could be happy for the rest of the tournament. Well as long as lubjicic loses somewhere along the way but thats a post for another board ;) Vliegens just a nasty player through and through.

I lost all respect for Ljb. the day he made those infamous remarks, same goes for Federer. When players make a negative statement about Willy, it angers me more than hearing idiots on GM saying nasty things about him. I feel the players should know better.

You're right about Ljubo, butimo Federer was polite the last times they played when Willy beat him.

I don't like players (or anybody) to make negative statements about any other player, not only about Willy.
There's a thing called "sportsmanship" and they all should respect it.

You're right, I'm not a mega Fed fan but I had to give him props for handling his losses to Willy. And those losses made international headlines at the time. It shows a complete lack of class and decency when a player pulls stuff like that. As for the GM boards and the few who can't lighten up on him already, they're just like you said allblue idiots.

Hes scheduled to be the third match on court number nine tomm. Good lucky Willy!!!!!!!!

:banana: C'mon WiWi!

Good luck to Willy today!!!! :yeah:


Can't watch the match because I'm not home and I'm pretty pissed about that :sad:
Have to wait until tomorrow to know the result :mad:

Vamos Willy!!!!
The match against Navarro Pastor has started!!! :banana:

Good luck Willy! Ugh of course it starts an hour before I leave again thats my dumb luck I guess. Come on Willy win it!

1-1 that was quick

Denaon, are you watching it live or just following along?

I'm not watching it :sad:....I'm at work...so I'm checking the sb :mad:

2-2 and now i find out i have to leave earlier because of traffic and road construction to bad he can't get it done in the next 20 or so minutes.

I hate that I'm at home at my computer doing the same thing. It stinks to say the least.

:awww: It's not likely to happen... really...:hug:

4-4 stay with him Willy you can do it

:awww: It's not likely to happen... really...:hug:
I know but a person can dream right? Thanks for the :hug: I hope when I get back he'll have beaten him soundly

5-4???????? Hes killing me now giving me a heart attack this is not how I wanted Wimbledon to start!

:lol:
Well...I haven't seen N. Pastor out of clay so I can't say about his game on grass...but I guess it's just a matter of serves...:shrug:

I'm sure Willy will pull this off

5-5 yes!

:lol:

Take care!

Go Willy!!!
7-6 (5?) the first one !!! :banana:

HE WON!!!!!!!!!!!:bounce: :dance:

7-6, 6-3, 6-1, WHOOOHOOOOO! Doing the happy dance! So awesome to come back and find this! Congratulations Willy! His game is astounding on every surface!!!!!

But on the other hand, see what happened as soon as I left Denaon? :hug: Maybe I shouldn't be allowed to watch any matches this slam, lol. Like I could resist that. Besides its his incredible game that made it happen!

Well...I gotta tell you that I left my desk this whole time too....so it's either one of us :rolls:
:lol:

You know...this is when I'm really :scared:
Facing Mirnyi will be quite a challenge....:unsure:
I just hope he can deal with Max :bounce:

Willy :yippee:

thrilled. keep going Willy!!!!

I really want him to win his second round, but like most of us I'm worried about Max. What a lousy draw, its going to be tough for him to make it through. I know he can do it but like we all know there are so many factors that figure into any one match. Fingers crossed! Good luck Willy!

:woohoo: :woohoo: Just saw he won!!!! Great news to wake up to!

Now Mirnyi :scared: :scared:

Go Willy!!!!!!!!!!

:woohoo: :woohoo: Just saw he won!!!! Great news to wake up to!

Now Mirnyi :scared: :scared:

Go Willy!!!!!!!!!!

Got to love the way the world works, your waking up and I'm on my way to bed. Enjoy the day :)

Yeah, if you start thinking about that, it's really weird ;)

You live at the West Coast then in the US? Because NY is 6h difference with us.

:woohoo: :banana:

East Coast :) Most nights I'm up late getting some chill time in. :wavey:

Just saw the official schedule. He and Max are the third match on court number seven tomm. Good Luck Willy!

Its starting! I'm going to be in and out for the next several hours, probably best that way anyway. Go Willy!!!

Go Willy!!!!
I'm so f*cking busy right now.....but I'll try to check the sb now and then!!!

Vamos!!!

Willy 1-1 15-40*

:scared:
It'll be a tough match!!!

Come on Willy!!!
I've got to go now (Wimbledon doesn't match with my working hours :mad: )

Denaon...if you still got my mob nr, please let me know :angel: :angel: :angel:

Just popped in, Hes down the first set 7-6 but up 3-0 last time I checked. Its going to be a long one I think.

He's doing fine! Go Willy!

Up two sets!!!!!!! Come on Willy!!! And if I don't leave now I'm going to be in trouble. I'll be back in roughly two hours. Good luck Willy, take the match!

:banana:
:woohoo:

WTG Willy!!!

He won!!! 6-7/6-1/7-6/7-6

tough match indeed :D

I'm so happy he won. But the next match is against Hewitt...so I don't know...hope he is not as uncertain as I am.

Vamos Willy~!

Willy :woohoo: Yes I'm concerned about Hewitt myself :sad:

:bounce: :bounce: :bigclap: :yippee:
He won!!!!!!! Congratulations Willy!!!!!!!!
Today I will dance in joy
Tomm I will worry about Hewitt. Difficult but not impossible.

:dance:

While I've never been one to believe that weather forcasting is actually a science, does anyone here think the possibility of many rain schedule delays could hurt Canas chances? Help him? Or not affect him either way? I know of one player playing tomm it could go either way on. Center court, cough.

:woohoo: :woohoo: Willy!!!!

Now against Hewitt :scared: :scared:

Anyway, he reached the 3rd round, so this is pretty good already with this draw and who knows he'll surprise us :devil:

Good luck Willy!

Bien Willy :hearts:

Its Center court tomm! Hes the third match up. Win or Lose hes had a great slam and in my mind will always be the best. Go Willy!

Yes, center court so FINALLY tv coverage and weekend so I can watch!!

It will be tough, but we'll be cheering! :yeah:

You said it :)

:mad: :mad: :mad: I am HOME, I have LIVESTREAM and now they won't play because of the RAIN :mad: :mad: :mad:

Tomorrow no play and on monday everybody has to work again....
I have "Wimbledon live", so I can look at the match afterwards, but where is the suspense if you already know who won :shrug:

First Espn fails to even mention Canas much less show him, now its raining so there is little hope I'll get to see anything more on Monday then Womens tennis and Roddick. Ooh joy. Not! Why did it have to pour down rain on the one day that tennis fans around the world could watch. ITS NOT FAIR!

From center court to court 18 if they don't get rained out on Monday. So I have no hope of seeing the match. The fun continues...

C'mon Willy!!! :banana:

Sorry racket911 for that sucky inconvenience. :awww:

Good luck against Hewitt!!

Hes down 2-0 but plays been suspended do to rain. Good Luck Willy

Come on Willy!!! 1-3 Willy is trailing, but man he looks hot.

He's doing pretty well so far.
Ok, lost the first set, but playing not bad at all!
Hope he wins but in case he doesn't, at least they can't call it a spanking...
Come On Willy!

Crowd is on Lleyton's side :mad:

damn play suspended :mad:

He truly is a fighter. There is that sign: Guillermo Canas, The Gladiator on Arg. flag. I thought it was pretty cute :)
And it seemed to start raining again.
Is this good for him? A bit rest? Or is the anticipation more exhausting??

Can't watch the match but from what the stats are showing, they're neck and neck. His game is on, hes just got a tough competitor. Why can't Lleyton be playing as poorly as he was a few months ago!

Hewitt is good on grass, so it will be difficult for Willy.
The match started bad for him coz before I even realized it, he was 2-0 behind.
Had to head home from work then so couldn't watch, but I sure was glad to see he did pretty well then.
I have good hope now that it will be a close match :yeah:
Vamos Cañas!!!!

They're on the field again.
It's about 8.00pm over there so they probably won't be able to finish the match today...

He broke!! 5-3 2nd set!!

:woohoo: 1 set all!!!!!!!!!!

WILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAAAA~~~~!!!!!

You're beautiful!!!!

Way to go Willy!!!!! Whoohooo!

are we back??? :banana:

Vamos Willy!!!

Got broken :sad: 2-0 behind 3rd set

Come on Willy...

Play suspended :mad: and he had a BP :mad:

Some rain :eek: It's pouring :eek:
Suppose this will be it for today...

Wimbledon has just become my least favourite GS.....:mad:

:mad: Is right! I'm guessing it was suspended because of light? At least he can get a good nights rest. Going to be interesting to see how the "schedulers" handle all the matches they have to catch up on.

Wimbledon has just become my least favourite GS.....:mad:

Its a disaster to say the least this year. Not fair to the players who are going to have to play so many matches in a row. And thats if it stays rain free for the rest of the week. The whole thing needs to be rethinked. Not just having one court with roof on it.

:mad: Is right! I'm guessing it was suspended because of light? At least he can get a good nights rest. Going to be interesting to see how the "schedulers" handle all the matches they have to catch up on.

No, all of the sudden it started raining like hell. They just announced play will be suspended for today. Starts again 11.00am tomorrow.

Rain, again? Banging my head into the wall now! Thanks Martine for the update. :)

Game is back on. It's as sunny as London can get.

Vamos Willy~!!!

Good, Willy broke Hewitt 3-4

Good, Willy broke Hewitt 3-4

But then he gets broken :eek:

Can't you just hold Willy???? :mad:

Willy, you got to get your first serve in!!! He got broken back. 3-5 now and Hewitt is serving...

Yes, indeed... he breaks...gets broken...breaks...gets broken :help:

1 set behind now... gotta get yourself together Willy, COME ON!

WTF :mad: Rain delay AGAIN :mad: :mad:

Rain??? To be honest, if Canas wasn't playing, I would not even be bothering with Wimbledon anymore. Whats the point? You get into it then its suspended then its on then its off. Good luck Willy. Got to bet that he and Hewitt are over the rain delays by now.

Vamos!!!!
They're back and Willy is 3-2...but now he must BREAK!!!! :rocker:

:sad: I guess this is almost it....he's 3-5 :sad: he must hold and then break please!!! :bounce:

Please hold Willy! Please!

:sad: :sad: :sad: Tissues anyone? This sucks for Willy.

:sad: :sad: :sad: Tissues anyone? This sucks for Willy.

This was a tough match....even worse with Lleyton raising his level as he's been doing lately....anyhow...I did not expect much from Wimbledon and thank god that it is over for me now :bigclap:

Bravo Willy!!! :D

Well said Denaon. I've got no reason left to watch anymore. On to another tournament! Read the stats, he played well. No reason for regrets. Congratulations Willy!

Too bad, but not a huge surprise :sad:

I'm glad it was a close match however.


Willy :hug:

I'm sooo glad Wimby is over. I felt really bad that Willy (and other players) had to sit through all those delays. Come to USA Willy!!! Anybody knows which tournaments he will be playing?

I've read he'll be in Bastad next week....but I can't tell for sure...

Willy you're the best!:D

Willy :sad: But I agree he is lucky to be out of Wimbledon :ras: All that happens is it rains :rain: There are players that are trying to complete Matches that started 3 days ago and they still haven't made it :ras: :ras: Then the people at the Tournament wouldn't allow play on the middle Sunday when it was a nice day :ras: :ras: :ras: And, of course, interestingly enough is who gets all the rest--Roger as if he needs it :ras: :ras: :ras: :ras:

Clicked to Wimbledon to see if I could catch another rain delay. Got there in time to watch Hewitt and Davydenko get knocked out. That makes it a better slam. :)
