W 2009 Draw

today no? which hour?

ceremony starts on radio at 10 AM :)

can't wait!

10 am GMT. 2am PST, 3am MST, 4am CST, 5am EST.

6pm for the folks from Oz.

10 am GMT. 2am PST, 3am MST, 4am CST, 5am EST.

6pm for the folks from Oz.

10 more mins, great:) Fingers crossed its nice

10 more mins, great:) Fingers crossed its nice

i think it should have been 7pm in aus. which means an hour more. it's just before 9 now in england.

Finally I will know the doubles entry list :o

Yes, one hour left.

Yeah, I assume it's 10 am BST, not GMT for those calculating from that...

Here's hoping Murray is drawn in Nadal's half...

Will they have it live on the Wimbledon site?

Who you want in your part :

R1, R2: Andujar, Gimeno Traver, Rochus, Ward, Martin, Canas, Lapentti, Dabul, Koubek, Junqueira, Granollers, Crivoi, ...
R3: Montanes, Melzer, Lopez, Hanescu, ...
R4: Wawrinka, Robredo, Ferrer,...
QF: Simon, Verdasco,...
SF: Nadal, Djokovic

Who you want not in your part

R1, R2: Dent, Malisse, Dimitrov, Baghdatis, Becker, Ljubicic, Gulbis, Santoro, Hewitt
R32: Haas, Karlovic, Fish
R16: Tsonga, Gonzalez
QF: Roddick
SF: Federer
SF: Nadal

Gonzalez?? I think most people would be willing to face gonzalez in R16 as opposed to ferrer (if his form wasn't so awful)

10am is local time..25 mins left..
Wimbledon radio working like year before?

http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2009-06-19/200906191245398389437.html

Gonzalez?? I think most people would be willing to face gonzalez in R16 as opposed to ferrer (if his form wasn't so awful)

Ferrer is really shitty this year, everybody could beat him on a grass court now.

I think gonzo is underestimated player. He played only 18 tournaments last year, and is ranked 10. Only players who beat him this year: Soderling (RG), Nadal (Rome), Ferrer (Barcalone), Stepanek (Miami), Federer (Indian Wells), Nadal (Australian).
All top 20 players and most of them at their favorite court

:wavey:

Fair enough, but on grass i just don't fancy Gonzo :o

I want Muzza in Fed's draw :armed: :devil:

http://twitter.com/Wimbledon

If Nadal withdrews, whole draw will change?

10 more minutes!!

If Nadal withdrews, whole draw will change?

Bogdanovic will take him out in the 1st round.

Will they draw the girls or the men first ?

So, the draw must be starting right now?

is there radio to listen to? or just text updates?

They're always LATE every year starting the Radio Wimbledon coverage. :(

They're always LATE every year starting the Radio Wimbledon coverage. :(

indeed :o

C`monnnnnnnnn:lol:

is there radio to listen to? or just text updates?

should be both any min now

Why can't they start broadcasting a few minutes BEFORE 10am? Or would that make too much sense?

Breaking Draw News: Nadal V Murray in the SemiFinals

If Nadal withdrews, whole draw will change?

I was wondering that too. I guess they make Fed 1st seed then, but will they change all seedings? Or maybe just top 4, that would make sense...

http://twitter.com/Wimbledon

Nadal V Murray in the SemiFinals according to this

Nadal v Murray semi according to twitter

cool nadal vs murray semis

eww. If nadal withdraws it should mean a clear path from murray :mad:

Where is the radio...c`mon:mad:

eww. If nadal withdraws it should mean a clear path from murray :mad:

:banana:

Yes!:D And nothing else matters.

What about Roddick and Haas?

So Federer gets yet another Bye to the final. What a surprise.

Has Murray ever been in Federer's half of a slam?

Nadal v Clement R1

nadal may not play, chances he won't

delpo will move to #4
djoker #3

semis delpo/djok murray
semis djok/delpo federer

I was wondering that too. I guess they make Fed 1st seed then, but will they change all seedings? Or maybe just top 4, that would make sense...

I guess not,they can change seedings but before the draw is made.So if he pulls out later than I spouse LL will replace him..

Nadal vs Clement first round.

'nadal v clement' what the fuck? where is the real fucking coverage

Looks like Radio coverage will start AFTER the draw's been made. :banghead: :rolleyes:

Nadal vs Clement

So Federer gets yet another Bye to the final. What a surprise.

Has Murray ever been in Federer's half of a slam?

just like chelsea got ripped off

this is bullshit

So if Nadal withdraw there will be LL in 100%

If Nadal is out, Nadal's spot in the draw is replaced with Lucky Loser from the Qualifying.

And, it also means a Federer SF puts Federer in number 1.

If Nadal is out, Nadal's spot in the draw is replaced with Lucky Loser from the Qualifying.

MURRAY HAS A BYE TO FINAL THEN

FEDERER HAS DJOKER

just like chelsea got ripped off

We're all follow the Chelsea,over land and sea,and Leicester!
We're all follow the Chelsea,onto victory!!! :worship:

don't trust that twitter shit

Murray vs Kendrick.

Murray- Kendrick :o

Murray gets Kendrick. Dam! I was hoping he would draw Dent :lol:

levine vs Safin. This seems random.

Haas and Roddick?

Where are they?

Edit, Nadal has Clement, then Hewitt. The draw Gods are kind.

where is the real fucking coverage

:mad::mad::mad:

:spit: Hewitt 2nd round for Nadal (if he plays)

lol, watch them only say federer and djokovic's first round opponents

this is a piss poor excuse for a "lived raw"

nadal draws lleyton hewitt in second round

nadal draws lleyton hewitt in second round

Nadal can get Hewitt R2 supposedly.

Nadal - Hewitt in round two not good :fiery:

Levine vs Safin
R2 Hewitt vs Nadal

All the info is coming from Twitter.

Wimbledon website is USELESS at this point.

uh. is there a reason why they removed the Nadal vs Murray tweet?

nadal hewitt second round

what's with "brit josh goofa" ?

i really hate such coverage

They have taken away the 'Nadal-Murray semis' thing.

No they just edited it to provide more information. Top 4 seeds have already been settled.

uh. is there a reason why they removed the Nadal vs Murray tweet?

exactly. worrying

brit josh goofa

WTF?

This is such bullshit. Draw probably hasn't even started

All the info is coming from Twitter.

Wimbledon website is USELESS at this point.

Pathetic.

http://twitter.com/Wimbledon

why is radio wimby off air?????

because this whole country is a living joke

Draw must be complete.

Fed was at the bottom and they drew his opponent.

:bounce: me too

lugburz, do you ever sleep!?

nowthey started with ladies...

Full draw should be up online in an hour or so.

perfect:mad:

Safina Venus in same half... shit, now I can go to bed. MTF alternating between the gray and white pages at this point.

What a joke. The grand slam steeped in tradition and prestige is getting some hack to give updates on fuckin' TWITTER. :worship:

unbelievable

great. we know so many matches :rolleyes: :fiery:

Just chill, why do you need live draws?

They didnt cover the draw so they could fix it and make it easier for Murray,

Stupidddddddddd:confused:What was that?

:bounce: me too

lugburz, do you ever sleep!?

talking about that late PM? :lol:
well I had to take care of some papers for my trip to Belgrade,so I couldn't miss Tommy's draw ;)

@Ilovetheblues_86 get lost

:haha: what a joke of live coverage ffs

I will send mail to wimbledon for this.

Rafael Nadal has been drawn in the same half of the draw as Andy Murray, while Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are the other half of the draw.

Well, the link to the twitter is from the official site.

Oh, then it's just sad

From the Wimbledon site:

10:20

Roger Federer will play Yen Hsun Lu in the first round.

10:15

Andy Murray will play Robert Kendrick of the USA.

10:07

Rafael Nadal's first match of Wimbledon will be against Arnaud Clement of France. He could play Lleyton Hewitt in the second round.

10:05

Rafael Nadal has been drawn in the same half of the draw as Andy Murray, while Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are the other half of the draw.

Please I want to read Lendl vs Gilbert on that twater page

http://twitter.com/Wimbledon is ridiculous!!! GRRRRR

This is what it claimed on the Wimbledon home page:

You can follow the names as they are pulled from the bag on our live blog :rolleyes: with a full analysis of the singles draws later today.

Incompetent nitwits.

now women draw :devil:

no as fast, but you can follow wimbledon site as well: http://www.wimbledon.org/en_GB/news/articles/2009-06-19/200906191245398389437.html

Lendl vs Gilbert again?

Has Gilbert's rank dropped that much?

wimbledon and its old ass traditions :rolleyes:

talking about that late PM? :lol:
well I had to take care of some papers for my trip to Belgrade,so I couldn't miss Tommy's draw ;)
yup :lol:

Well no draw for Tommy, at least not on stupid Twitter... :o
Menn now we have to wait for an hour to see the full draw :( :(

They blogger must have been reading this page, they've now started capitalizing and stringing coherent sentences together. Looks like the work experience lad has been kicked out.

Potential Vaidisova Safina in R2 aka potential wrecking of Safina's career by Stepanek.

the most interesting is goodall - llodra :haha:

murray in half of nadal wimbledon 08 us open 08 aus open 09 r.garros 09 wimbledon 09. more ?

Best laugh I had this week :worship::worship::worship:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHH

Best laugh I had this week :worship::worship::worship:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHH

It was funny, but Wimbledon frustrating the people was more. :worship:

Any news for complete draw???

I guess it doesn't really matter if Nadal & Murray are in the same half. In the last 4 slams, they've only met once at the SF stage anyway. I don't bet on it happening this year at Wimbledon either. Federer is the only constant in SF's.

murray in half of nadal wimbledon 08 us open 08 aus open 09 r.garros 09 wimbledon 09. more ?

Hopefully.

I am curious why did they name Safin and Goodall, but not Roddick :o

Good luck wasting your time for draws that will be released in a couple of minutes. :worship:

HAHAHHAHhahahahhah, oh man, have you seen how unreliable they have been today, what a joke to expect the draws to be out in a matter of minutes

Good luck wasting your time for draws that will be released in a couple of minutes. :worship:

yeah why bother watching/listening to anything live? might as well just tune in for the result later.

it's human nature :smash:

I am curious why did they name Safin and Goodall, but not Roddick :o

Cause Goodall is futere GOAT:o

Please join us on 19 June 2009 after the Draw Ceremony from the All England Lawn Tennis Club. The Draw Ceremony will begin at 10am and be covered by Radio Wimbledon.
Liars. :ras:

Ana Ivanovic will play Lucie Hradecka in the first round.
who cares ?

HAHAHHAHhahahahhah, oh man, have you seen how unreliable they have been today, what a joke to expect the draws to be out in a matter of minutes

If I was mr.wimbledon I wouldn´t release the draws until they sunday to bring some mistery on tour. Players would get locked in the basement also only eating Eggs with bacon.

Terrible

yeah why bother watching/listening to anything live? might as well just tune in for the result later.

it's human nature :smash:

Human nature sucks, at least 2012 is coming. :rocker:
Funny thread anyway. :lol:
Can you teenagers hold on real life too? :rolleyes:

Andy Murray was handed close to the perfect draw yesterday for his quest to win Wimbledon. The world No 3 was drawn in the same half as injury-plagued world No 1 Rafael Nadal, which means he can't meet tournament favourite Roger Federer until the final.

Murray faces American world No 76 Robert Kendrick in the first round, who he has beaten three times before, including on grass and will be delighted to see potential banana skins Tommy Haas and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the opposite side of the draw.

Murray, who is being tipped to win his first Grand Slam having won his first title on grass at the AEGON Championships at Queen's last Sunday, still has a few dangermen lurking in his half of the draw - most notably, former finalist Andy Roddick. Defending champion Nadal will meet veteran Arnaud Clement in round one, while Federer will play Taipei's Yen-Hsun Lu, who knocked Murray out of the Beijing Olympics.

this 'coverage' is a complete fucking joke

wheres the fuckin draw for fucks sake

I'm guessing if you live in the Wimbledon area and tune in to 87.7 FM you could hear the draw ceremony. It didn't occur to the organizers that outsiders might also want to listen in.

Young Laura Robson against Hantuchova. That could be a mauling for us Brits.

Haas on Fed's side? Rats.

I was hoping he would get Nadal's.

Hantuchova vs. Robson :haha:

Venus is playing Voegele AND silva in the first round, that will be difficult!!!

Rafael Nadal pulled out
2 minutes ago from web

The draw is irrelevant until we know Rafa's decision in a few hours.

Happy days are here again :)

Haas on Fed's side? Rats.

I was hoping he would get Nadal's.
of COURSE, when isn't haas on fed's side :o
but ehh :scratch: where'd you find this?!

Venus has got 2 matches in R1: vs Voegele and vs Silva. Great.

Michelle Larcher De Brito has drawn Klara Zakopalova.

OMG...:o

Bullshit, I just googled it and there was nothing. Liar.

don't worry I was just joking :p

Rafael Nadal pulled out
2 minutes ago from web

Bullshit, I just googled it and there was nothing. Liar.

Rafael Nadal pulled out
2 minutes ago from web :ras:

Venus is so good she gets two 1st rounders. :lol:

What a complete joke this coverage is. :o

shit

what the fuck ROFL

De Brito vs Zakopalova - essential match.

I was hoping De Brito would get Sharapova. That way, Wimbledon could have started selling branded earplugs at 5 quid a pop for their Centre Court match up. 15000 pairs of earplugs would make you a small fortune.

Andy Murray was handed close to the perfect draw yesterday for his quest to win Wimbledon. The world No 3 was drawn in the same half as injury-plagued world No 1 Rafael Nadal, which means he can't meet tournament favourite Roger Federer until the final.

Roddick is in Murray's quarter?

good that i'm at work. if i wake up to see a draw like this i would been pissed

Aww, rats.

Man. I hoped he was out. :(

Stop discussing WTA bullshit in this thread.

Besides who really cares about the draw until 2nd week? :shrug:

Rafael Nadal pulled out
2 minutes ago from web
I hope not. That would be tragic. I was sure that he would play.

SORRY CORRECTION It is Serena Williams v Neuza Silva in the first round. fingers move faster than brain sometimes
yeah yeah stupid excuses.. just give me haas' first round :o

De Brito vs Zakopalova - essential match.

An outside court :drool: Earplugs manufacturers will enjoy a roaring trade that day.

shouldnt he play Wawrinka first? and couldn't he decide like one hour earlier.. :rolleyes:

Don't worry,he's safe for now,since it came from my mouth :)

Rafael Nadal pulled out
2 minutes ago from web

link?

so is nadal out or in?

Venus Williams draws Stefanie Voegele.
Venus Williams will play qualifier Neuza Silva in the first round.
:haha: :haha: :haha:

Don't worry,he's safe for now,since it came from my mouth :)
:ras: :ras:

Venus Williams draws Stefanie Voegele.
Venus Williams will play qualifier Neuza Silva in the first round.
:haha: :haha: :haha:

This twitter guy/girl in an idiot. "fingers move faster than brain sometimes" ... clearly.

ok I was kidding about Nadal,but how you guys know that Haas is in Fed side of draw?

SORRY CORRECTION It is Serena Williams v Neuza Silva in the first round. fingers move faster than brain sometimes.

hahahha

the wimbledon site didnt seem so sure nadal would play

Venus Williams draws Stefanie Voegele.
Venus Williams will play qualifier Neuza Silva in the first round.
:haha: :haha: :haha:

:haha:

My favourite still has to be "Brit Josh Goofa" - I cracked up when I saw that.

u vando questions on twitter!

I thought the whole point of Twitter was the ability to quickly post large amounts of updates and they've barely managed anything - like three brief mentions of the draw. I don't know what's worse, having this or having nothing at all, knowing that they could so easily reveal more.

It all happens so quickly this draw. Any questions and I will happily answer.

OMG this guy his wroten 100 words in an hour and he says it's going to quick ?????

Until Rafa holds his press conference we don't know shit.

Twit: It all happens so quickly this draw. Any questions and I will happily answer'

:retard: just do your job and give me haas' first round

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-1194136/WIMBLEDON-2009-Andy-Murray-handed-dream-draw-avoids-king-SW19-Federer-hell-play-injured-champ-Nadal-though.html

Haas on Fed's side.

This can't be for real, I think somebody pulls a joke here.

Haas and Tsonga on Fed's half.
Roddick on Murray's.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-1194136/WIMBLEDON-2009-Andy-Murray-handed-dream-draw-avoids-king-SW19-Federer-hell-play-injured-champ-Nadal-though.html

This can't be for real, I think somebody pulls a joke here.

"joke" being the operative word here... the entire draw organisation being one

so what happens if nadal pulls out? will they just bump up everyone in his half

Lucky Loser in the qualies gets the number 1 seed. :devil:

verdasco ward

Fernando Verdasco will play Brit James Ward

Fernando Verdasco will play Brit James Ward in the first round. And possibly Roger Federer in the quarter-finals.

Fed gets Soda in R4.

Lucky Loser in the qualies gets the number 1 seed. :devil:

lol

wimby site:


10:51
Roger Federer appears to have an easier run. Although he could face Robin Soderling in the fourth round.

:eek: tss

Fed gets Verdasco :haha:

Federico Gil v Paul-Henri Mathieu

Federico Gil v Paul-Henri Mathieu

you know, his name is frederico and all but HEY AT LEAST HE CAPITALISED THEM

can't he just wrote whole fucking draw

Good thing for the transitive principle.

Nadal > Federer > Soderling > Nadal.

apparently boggo get berdych

can't he just wrote whole fucking draw

no, but i'll do that as quickly as possible as soon as the draw is actually there :haha:

ask him if he cant post it

Verdasco in QF on grass! :haha:

can't he just wrote whole fucking draw

Yeah I'd rather he took 30 minutes out to just document the whole men's draw, rather than drib drabs of information every 5 minutes.

Grigor Dimitrov v Igor Kunitsyn then either Andy Roddick or Jeremy Chardy

Roddick:
R1 vs Chardy
R2 vs Dimitrov/Kunitsyn
R3 vs ??
R4 vs ??
QF vs Nadal

Possible Roddick v Dimitrov. Don't see Grigor going much further on grass than R2 this year.

Grigor Dimitrov v Igor Kunitsyn

Go-GO Grisha

Grigor Dimitrov v Igor Kunitsyn then either Andy Roddick or Jeremy Chardy

Good draw.

Fed/Roddick final matchup a real possibility.

Who's in Djoko's Quarter? Haas?

Perfect. Roddick is in Nadal's Quarter. Can't play Murray until the SF.

Chardy against Roddick?

dan evans v davydenko

Roddick is in the top half of the draw. He faces a quarter-final v Nadal if both win through.

Roddick in Nadal's quarter. :yeah:

I posted this in the ranking thread, and wasn't going to post here, as I thought we'd have a barrage of data and it would get lost.

Instead we appear to have Brit Josh Goofa's maiden encounter with the txting function on his mobile phone, so here goes:

This is the situation if Nadal pulls out before Monday's OOP is announced:

- If the withdrawal is among seeds 1 to 4, the 5th seed is
moved into then open position, the 5th position shall be filled
by the 17th seed, and the 17th position shall be filled by the
next highest ranked player eligible to be seeded.
- If the withdrawal is among seeds 5 to 16, the 17th seed is
moved into the open position and the 17th position shall be
filled by the next highest ranked player eligible to be
seeded.
- If the withdrawal is among seeds 17 to 32 it shall be filled
by the next highest ranked player eligible to be seeded.

From the Grandslam rule book 2009: http://www.itftennis.com/abouttheitf/rulesregs/rulebooks.asp

Who's in Murray's Q then ? Del P? Simon? Please be Simon.

Grigor Dimitrov v Igor Kunitsyn then either Andy Roddick or Jeremy Chardy

3 of my favourite players in the whole damn tournament + a player I like (Kuni). God I hate this draw already. :o

nadal has roddick in his QF
