Show those cows how grass tennis is played, Nole! :rocker2:

ajde Nole! :rocker2:

So is Nole not playing next week or something?

Have fun, Jessa! We'll miss you. You better find a computer once in a while to tell us how you're doing.

He withdrew from Den Bosch :awww:

I'll be on a computer all the time :) Don't you worry :)

good :yeah:

I will probably, too. I'll have nothing else to do.

Is Scott going to Washington, this year?

Yes, probably. Unless it's as hot as it was last year.

I might go to Washington too, now almost definitely because Mary is going for sure, and I'm sure if I ask nicely she will just let me crash in her room for a night if the time she is there is when I wanna go. I need to text her back and ask :)

We can hang out :rocker2:

Though I do more stalking of players than watching of tennis.

I want to go to the US and watch live tennis too :(

Same ;)

ditto :(

Okay, you guys can come :) :dance: Come to the USO and I will be your guide ;)

Believe me I want to. I am free but I don't have the money. :crying2:

Okay actually I do, but still it's a lot of money.. If only I could convince my mom... :angel:

Don't tell her, just go. :D

I can't, I tell her everything. She is like my best friend :p And besides, the money will come from her.. :angel: I'll have to convince her

Tell her you accidently sold yourself into slavery for a popsicle and need a lot of money to go buy your freedom.

She has a spot-on sixth sense and knows when I'm lying :sad:

(Sorry, my ladies, for topicking the offtopic off ;) - now that's an interesting grammar question: is it "to topic off" or just "to offtopic"?)

I don't have to say anything or react and she can guess what I'm thinking most of the time. Pretty scary sometimes :lol:

And we're pretty close too. It can be really funny sometimes, yet scary

I try not to lie to my mother, but sometimes it's necessary for her own good. I used to not be able to do it very well, but I've perfected the art. It's easier if you think of something really sad while you're doing it. :p

I'm good at lying to other people, but I just can't do it to my mum. And I feel guilty if I lie to her too

We are so off-topic :lol:

What was the topic anyway?? oh yes - Wimbledon :lol:

ok, lets see, back to topic. The seeds are out. Nole is 4-th.

Just in time for Wimbledon :D

Nole is always smiling. He seems to have an unconquerable spirit, which is very nice.

My friend went to Boodles yesterday, she said that Nole held the umbrella with one hand, then tossed and hit the ball with the other hand :rolls: they had a couple of false starts yesterday. Pesky rain! :awww:

:D

Ugh, I didn't see this, but I was out from about 9 am until almost 11pm anyway.

I got a picture taken with Ilija yesterday :inlove: He is absolutely one of the most insane people I ever have watched. :lol: But he was nice when Adam asked him to take a picture with me. :lol: He even took his sunglasses off for me. :lol: And put his arm around me :inlove: Mahut didn't put his arm around me, lol. But I did get a pic with Mahut too. They're on Adam's camera though. :lol: We met up with some other MTF-ers and WTAW-er (Jimnik, CooCooCachoo and CharDa (I think that's what he said his sn was there..) and then afterwards, most of us went out for dinner together and then Adam and I got lost in London as he drove me home :D OH! I also met Fee.

Alize Cornet is now my favorite player because she's so adorable. She cried in the first set of her match, having this huge breakdown and then came back and won the next four games, to serve for the set, and then her opponent had some fake injury timeout to mess her up, and she lost the first set. :sad: And then in the third set, when she lost, she just started sobbing and says to the chair, "I hate you, I hate you." :rolls: She then sat on the grass and cried for like 30-45 minutes. We were all like :awww: :awww: but she got in as a LL :rocker2: :lol:

Vicente played an incredible 5 setter yesterday and was absolutely hilarious in the ending part of the 5th set.

What else, what else... I don't know, but it was a good day :) After my time runs out here I am going to get some lunch and then maybe just chill somewhere. It's a boring day today :)

Nole's quarter:

[6] Davydenko vs Korolev
Bogdanovic vs Guccione
Monfils vs Johansson
Vliegen vs [32] Monaco

[23] Nalbandian vs Zverev
Dancevic vs Koubek
Devilder vs Zabaleta
Gulbis vs [10] Baghdatis

[16] Hewitt vs Bloomfield
Garcia Lopez vs Bolelli
Mirnyi vs Lu
Navarro-Pastor vs [22] Canas

[30] Volandri vs Kiefer
Santoro vs Karlovic
Delic vs Dlouhy
Starace vs [4] Djokovic

Fab needs to take Dr Ivo out. :help:

I don't really like Hewitt in R4, or the prospect of Karlovic so early.

*will not say anything else about the draw since it is tradition for me to be only negative*

Glad you had fun yesterday, Jess. :hug:

And nice to know that you like Alizé too. :lol: She drew Kirilenko in the 1st round though. :help: Be prepared to be dragged along to that match by a drooling Princess. :o

ALLEZ FABRICE!! AJDE NOLE!!! :bounce:

I don't really like Hewitt in R4, or the prospect of Karlovic so early.

*will not say anything else about the draw since it is tradition for me to be only negative*

I'm worried about Karlovic too. Hopefully, the magician will frustrate the hell out of him. :o

For being away from Federer and getting the weakest 5-8 seed, this draw is pretty tricky.

My expectations are pretty low.

My expectations are pretty low.
Mine too...... And I'm usually very positive when it comes to Nole,but now........I don't know! :(

Yes, it does seem as tough a draw as he could get without Rafa or Fed. (Don't overlook Mirnyi who's also there.) I should be prepared for an early knockout, but also hoping for some nice surprises (which he can pull out on a good day).

Then again, if he manages to go past Karlovic, he'll defend the points, which can't be considered bad.

Tough draw. Karlovic, then Hewitt?:(

His past grasscourt results don't give me confidence.

Good Luck to Nole! Hopefully he has adapted now and can play his best :bounce:

To make the matters worse, he'll have to do without the lucky yellow shirt ;)

(Though the white apparel ultimately proved not to be jinxy against Patience, so who knows... But hey, maybe black shoes were lucky? Oh dear, he'll have to wear white ones...)

I don't like this draw :mad:
oh, well. one match at the time and we'll see how far he can get.

Bad news though. I most likely won't get to see Nole as we plan on possibly getting show court tickets on Monday, not Tuesday. :sad: So no Nole for me at Wimbledon :sad:

We met up with ... CooCooCachoo and CharDa

CharlDa ;) He's a really nice guy, so is Coo (most of the time :p) :D

Glad you had fun... and I see you saw Edouard :drool:

I must be the only person that likes the draw, but that's fine. Karlovic is a very one-dimensional player and if Clement can beat him twice on grass then I know Nole can do it. Karlovic also underperforms when it matters... like at Wimbledon.

Lleyton isn't really that scary anymore. There are a lot of people in Nole's section that I could see him losing to, but I still think he's the favorite against any of them... so it could have been a lot worse. I'll just hope for the best and see what happens.

ajde Nole! :rocker2:

I also want to say that I'm thrilled Frank got in as a LL :D

I really don't have an in-depth insight in Karlovic's game (besides his serve, of course), but this seems crucial to me: how often, on average, does he suffer a break of serve on grass? If it's like once every 30-40 service games (or rarer), then Nole's serve will have to work like a clock in order to force the tie-breaks.

Also, is Karlovic any good on return? Objectively.

(And I also imagine it might be tricky to put a shot past him on the net, due to huge wingspan.)

Bad news though. I most likely won't get to see Nole as we plan on possibly getting show court tickets on Monday, not Tuesday. :sad: So no Nole for me at Wimbledon :sad:

I am too.:D :dance:

Also, is Karlovic any good on return? Objectively.

(And I also imagine it might be tricky to put a shot past him on the net, due to huge wingspan.)

He's really not THAT great at net... his wingspan is great, but any advantage of that is neutralized by his poor movement and his awkwardness. I mean, he's average at the net. He's from the Henman school... just get to net and you have at least a 50/50 chance. :p Also, the fact that he has such a big wingspan can hurt him if you go right at him with your passing shots.

Karlovic's return game pretty much revolves around him smacking the ball and hoping it goes in. Once in a while he gets lucky and breaks. But if Nole can get him into baseline rallies, he has little chance to win the points.

As long as Nole doesn't panic, he should be able to hang with Karlovic and win the match by taking the big points.

as usual i have so many things on my mind but all i am gonna say is that i hate his draw!the thing that gives me hope and makeS me believe is Nole`s great success at Wimly in the last 2 years!he did so well there and he still wasn`t the player he is now,he was so close to the 1/4 finals last year...in addition,his sevice and volleys have improved so much and i`m sure that the great Woody Mark will teach him how to win on grass!!!so let`s keep being possitive!Wimbledon is the greatest tournament in the world and Nole will have a very special place in it this year:banana: :banana: :banana: !AJDE NOVACE!!!

Go Nole! :)

CharlDa ;) He's a really nice guy, so is Coo (most of the time :p) :D

I'd think he's :drool: too if it were not for the fact that he resembles one of my friends from school. It feels incestuous... somehow.

But we need to start focusing our Jedi mind powers on getting Nole through to the QF ;)

That's gonna be tough!:)

The Force would levitate Nole all the way towards the final where he would triple-bagel Roger :rocker2:

(I know some of your are mentally tacking on this bit: "... 6-3 6-3 6-3." :o)

Nole will win because I am blessing the AELTC with my presence. Which actually is not usually good luck for him :tape: but this time it will be. :D

And yes, a triple bagel of the 6-3 6-3 6-3 variety is certainly on the way. :D

Our boy is supposed to played last on the Center Court tomorrow!the English are obviously interested to see him,don`t you think?AJDE NOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
I know he`s gonna take this one! :p

Of course he's last. Wouldn't want him to actually get to play, now would we? :p

Who knows, maybe there will be a miracle and it won't rain. Ajde Nole!

I have just wanted to say the same thing!:smash: for the organisers.
Again... He always gets to play the last match:shrug:
I hope he 'll finish his match today,'cause I'll be really mad:shout: if the rain prevents them...
Of course,Mr.Nadal will safely finish his match:rolleyes:

Argh whyyy :smash:

Djokovic reveals naked ambition
By Mark Hodgkinson
source here (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/06/25/stnova125.xml)

Watch out for the wannabe Serbian stripper at Wimbledon. "My goal is to be the No 1 player in the world, that's my goal," Novak Djokovic said. "But my dream, my actual dream, is to win Wimbledon. That's the biggest major of all the majors, as it's the most traditional and you get a special feeling there. If I won, I would probably take all my clothes off."

So Djokovic is the cheeky chappie of tennis, but he is also ferociously ambitious. As he should be. The 20-year-old has become the new Hollywood name in tennis this season, and is unembarrassed about his ambition to one day bump Roger Federer off the top of the tennis tree. And John McEnroe had backed up such a claim, suggesting that Djokovic, fifth in the standings, has both "the game and the attitude" to eventually replace the Swiss as the world No 1.

Almost everyone else in the locker-room treats Federer with great reverence. But Djokovic is not one to idolise an opponent. Perhaps because of that, it has seemed as though there has been a slight edge between Djokovic and Federer, the Wimbledon champion for the last four seasons.

"We've never had a bad relationship, it's just that I had this one situation at the Australia Open this year which was really bad. The press asked me what I was going to do in the fourth-round match with him. They said: 'Are you going to play your best tennis?' I said: 'No, I'm not going to just play my best tennis. I'm going to try hard to win. I'm going to go out there thinking that I can win'. And then people said that I was arrogant, cocky, and I don't know what else," Djokovic said. "It was really bad, but in general, really, my goal is to be the No 1 player in the world. All my life I have been working towards doing that, and I hope to end my career having managed to do that, even if Federer is No 1 for 10 years."

Although it would be a huge shock if Djokovic were to win Wimbledon this summer and perform that Centre Court striptease, few would be that surprised if he went deep into the tournament, perhaps even reaching the semi-finals or final. On his first appearance in 2005, he made the third round, and last summer the fourth round, so he clearly knows what to do on a grass court. And, as he is working with Wimbledon doubles legend Mark Woodforde, his grass-court game can only improve.

Djokovic has become big news very quickly. A week younger than Andy Murray, he was the first of the two to break into the top 10. His run to the French Open semi-finals, where he was beaten by Rafael Nadal, resulted in a parade in his honour in Belgrade, where 20,000 people came out to honour him.

It was unusual preparation for Queen's Club, where he went out in the third round, complaining of a sore arm. "I'm trying not to be a star. I'm trying to stay the same," he said. "It's always nice to win big tournaments, and all the press and all the people put their eyes on you, and focus on your career, and say that you are a great player. I have people coming up to me and saying: 'You're the next No 1'. That's very encouraging for me, that's nice for me, but I want to stay the way I have been all my life, just focused.

"You have to be consistent at this level, and that's the thing I was missing until this year. Back then, I was still young, I was still crazy, still losing my energy, probably thinking about girls, and some other stuff. I'm still crazy, just in a positive way." Crazy enough to want to strip off in front of the Royal Box.

So, girls (and some boys too ;)), you have an extra reason to cheer ;)

:lol: What a cheeky boy.

So three great things about today:

1) Nole won easily. :banana:
2) Karlovic lost. ;)
3) Lleyton looked very unimpressive.

All bode well for Novakito's chances here. I'm hoping for at least a 4th round to defend his points from last year. But it would certainly be nice if he went even further. :D

Exactly what I was thinking :D

Amer Delic should be a good match-up for Nole (you Americans will possibly know better), and Nole should win. But then it most probably comes Santoro, and he's quite a good S/V and very experienced, that promises to be an interesting match.

On the other hand, I hope Ziki will give Nole some insider advice on how to play Santoro ;)

Ye of little faith. I knew all along the heavens would not keep from seeing my beloved Nole on Centre Court!!!! :angel: I told everyone I saw ALL DAY that it was not going to rain, no one believed me because it really looked like it was about to, but it didn't :D It sucks it wasn't televised. I would surely have been on TV. I was directly at the net, about 10 rows back, waving a Serbian flag. :rolls:

I wonder if Jess got centre court tickets for today..

Well, time for me to :zzz:

:wavey:

Ja!!!! :D Sleeping in the queue overnight after going to tennis on Monday was WORTH IT :D

very nice!!! :) i like watching him on the grass , he'll be a king of the wimbly one day!!!

NIKOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :inlove: :inlove: You've been missed here :D

Amer Delic should be a good match-up for Nole (you Americans will possibly know better), and Nole should win. But then it most probably comes Santoro, and he's quite a good S/V and very experienced, that promises to be an interesting match.

On the other hand, I hope Ziki will give Nole some insider advice on how to play Santoro ;)

He should beat Delic :) Santoro will be interesting for sure. But I feel better about that than Karlovic :dance:

Aimee! your avatar :lol:
:rolls:
She's not a 5 years old little girl who needs ruffles on her skirts. :tape:
Seriously.:o
ESPN COVERAGE SUCKS :fiery:
Indeed.:mad:
So three great things about today:

1) Nole won easily. :banana:
2) Karlovic lost. ;)
3) Lleyton looked very unimpressive.

All bode well for Novakito's chances here. I'm hoping for at least a 4th round to defend his points from last year. But it would certainly be nice if he went even further. :D

Glad you got to see him.:D

We sure didn't:sobbing::sobbing: Stupid Tv coverage.:fiery:

aimee. is your chicken doing a peter crouch impression?

:lol: I don't think so. But I'm not fully positive about that.;)

aimee. is your chicken doing a peter crouch impression?

Peter Crouch. Hotttt :drool:

Janko is quickly becoming a 5-setter specialist! :) After coming back from 0-2 against Peya, now he defeats Florent Serra 63 62 67 36 62. Well done, Janko :)

Since lot of unfinished matches are rescheduled for tomorrow,I expect Djoko will again play the last match on the court:rolleyes:
I hope he plays really well tomorrow,because Delic might cause problems:eek: :tape: :awww: :bolt:
Ajde Nole!:clap2:
I hope we'll have reason for celebration after the match though:clap2: :dance: :yippee: :rocker:

He's third match on court 2, so hopefully he will get to play.

ajde Nole! :D

:worship: :worship:
And they realised they could move matches to be played earlier!
Wow:eek: They have brains :banghead: :scratch:
AJDE NOLE!

I hope ESPN shows some parts of his match.

:bounce:

Novak won on Orthodox Christmas (I think) and on Palm Sunday, so he will surely win on June 28!

Glad you got to see him.:D

We sure didn't:sobbing::sobbing: Stupid Tv coverage.:fiery:
Yes :fiery:

Peter Crouch. Hotttt :drool:
Are you serious? :unsure:

Anyway, ajde Nole :bounce:

Why must he face Amer though? :sad:

Yes :fiery:
Seriously they better show him tomorrow.:armed:

They will show him here, but I will probably be out, so I won't be able to watch it, or cheer here with you guys :sad:
I like Delić too, but when he's playing against Nole, I can easily forget that I like him.

If there's rain delay, I may not be able to stay up :( I hope the weather holds up!

Are you serious? :unsure:

Hot legs :p I like Gary Neville and Solksjaer too :o

ajde novak! the weather's looking ok thus far.

:dance:

Yes :fiery:

They showed Nole's first round match during the rain delay yesterday. :p

and you didn't tell me :sad:

Didn't know that you didn't know. :lol:

It was at the end of the broadcast, around 12/1 am. :p

wah. so late. i was in dreamland by then

Did they show me on TV?!?!?!

I was wearing sunglases and waving a flag. I'm fairly certain I was the ONLY person with a Serbian flag there :D :dance:

I didn't see you. :(

I didn't see you at Henman's match either. I usually run to the computer or do other stuff during the change-overs. :lol:

They had better show his match.:sobbing::sobbing:

BOOOO. I was so certain they'd show me during Nole's match if it was televised anywhere. :rolls:

They probably did, but like I said, I don't pay attention during the change-overs. :o

Haha okayyyyy. I'll excuse you then. :p

Haha okayyyyy. I'll excuse you then. :p

Sorry, I totally forgot that you were at the match. :o

In other draw news, Kiefer beat Santoro. He looked good when I watched against Volandri but I don't think he's fully back yet. If Nole faces him he *should* win, I think. :)

fabrice :sad: and timmay's fighting back!

Fabrice:sobbing:

C'mon Timmay!!!:rocker2:

Nole:banana:

Well, it seems ESPN isn't going to show Nole's match. Tim's in another one of his rollercoaster 5-set match.

Tim loves his 5 setters.

Well, Nole's a break down right now.

:sad:

anyone watching other than SB?

They showed Nole's first round match during the rain delay yesterday. :p

:sad: :sad: I was still awake

I hate Feli.

I didn't see you at Henman's match either. I usually run to the computer or do other stuff during the change-overs. :lol:
The reason why I bought a laptop :angel:

Timmay :awww:

Nole. What is happening/!?!?!??!

I need to buy Wimbledon live if Nole gets through this.

from stat, it seems nole let amer dictating play in 2nd set which is dangerous on grass and amer is serving incredibly too. 6 aces in one set.

I hate Feli.
Me too.
Timmay :awww:

:sobbing:

anyone watching other than SB?
I am. sort of.

You know my superstition, so I'm just turning the TV on from time to time.

Nole is playing well, but Delić's serve is really on today.

i should stay out of sb and here too :tape:

espn is going to show screamapova :rolleyes:

Nole and Amer on my Tv.:dance:

But he's 2-0 up in the 3rd :dance:

I like Amer too so Nole can win in 4 ;)

I like Amer too so Nole can win in 4 ;)
I agree. Amer is cool, so winning in 4 would be just fine.

espn is going to show screamapova :rolleyes:
Here too :sad:

I agree. Amer is cool, so winning in 4 would be just fine.

Yup I'm satisfied with him winning one set :dance: Now time to cheer for Nole :bounce:

Yup I'm satisfied with him winning one set :dance: Now time to cheer for Nole :bounce:

Yes :D

All of us agree as usual :dance:

Yes.:lol:

Nole won 6-3 in the third :dance:

:banana:

Deuce on Nole's serve. :unsure:

Early break and held for 2:0:dance:
This board is so slow that this post will probably show after the match is over:rolleyes:

MTF:fiery::armed:

broken :sad:

Now they're at 3 all. So Nole got broken back. C'mon Nole :bounce:

Come on, Nole! Break him!

OK, in case anyone was wondering why I disappeared just now, it was because MTF and WTAWorld stopped loading on my browser. Eventually, I discovered that it was because of Firefox so I switched to IE. I don't know why Firefox does this from time to time. :confused:
