:o

what is the forecast, when it is possible the rain to stop ?

what's the guesstimate on when the weather front pulls out of the Wimby station?

No play before 18h CET

:(

I hate this tournament.
There is always rain :rain:
:sad:

it's Wimbly..... heh ;/

No play before 18h CET
:o wow, is this official. it is pretty late. if it's true Nadal - Baghdatis may play tomorrow also.

According to the german commentator, it should be possible to resume play within an hour.

No play has been possible so far today due to rain. There will be no play before 2.00pm at the earliest but bad weather is forecast for much of the afternoon.

well wimby is usually luckier weatherwise than we think it will be, so i'm still hopeful :)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/5154530.stm

The men's singles semi-finals at Wimbledon have been delayed by rain, with further bad weather predicted throughout Friday afternoon.

There is forecast to be a 70% chance of light rain during the afternoon and the covers were pulled across on Centre Court at 1055 BST...

Wimbledon organizers are dumb....first off, why start matches at 1pm when all other tournaments they start at 11am...also if they are somewhat cognizant they will put both matches on at the same time as it won't be fair to nad/bag if they have to play tomorrow while fed wraps it up today...they should put fed on centre and nadal/bags on court 1, that is if they can get matches in today.....fed -8 games should be good....bags hits a bigger ball than nadal and the spaniard played yesterday so i think there is value in bag +200...damm rain

Wimbledon organizers are dumb....first off, why start matches at 1pm when all other tournaments they start at 11am...

not for the semi finals.

The covers are off!

Good luck Roger !!!! ;)

Go Jonas! :yeah:

From Wimbledon's website:


Wimbledon Day 11
Rain has delayed play on the 11th day of The Championships. The covers have now been removed and, once the courts have been inspected, it is hoped that play will start after 3pm.

radio wimbledon just said 6 minutes till players take the court

Thanks Margy for the update!

Thanks Margy for the update!
you're welcome :)

let's hope it stays dry long enough to finish some matches

Go Jonas!

Allez Roger!

well wimby is usually luckier weatherwise than we think it will be, so i'm still hopeful :)

Gongratulations

ANyway this Bjorkman seemed as a fine man to me (they interviwed him briefly in the locker room). If someone is to beat Roger this year, let it be him
(not that he has a real chance...)

Come on Roger - be a generous fella and give Bjorkman a set at least :)

Bjorkman will never break Fed even if they play 20 sets.

Pathetic being a Wimbledon visitor these days.

Jonas Bjorkman in semis... :lol: :o
Damn when i bought my tickets, they promised me Federer - Nalbandian !!!

Hope Nadal and Baggy are warming up in the practice courts because they will be playing very soon

Hope Nadal and Baggy are warming up in the practice courts because they will be playing very soon

let's hope this will be a good match at least. Wimbledon was pathetic this year.

fed breaks

fed 1-0 2nd set

yawn

Oh Boy this Royal Trashing. I would have prefered the rains instead.

Rochey is sleeping in the box

Fed 2-0*

Bjorkman is getting humiliated. He will bagel him twice.

Rochey is sleeping in the box

Fed 2-0*

lol he always sleeps in the box...

Time to watch tour de france :)

Federer breaks again

*3-0

Next match between Rafaël and Marcos should be more interesting...

c'mon fed start serve & volleying now

IS Bjorkman the worst player ever to enter Wimbledon SF? He realy sucks big time - can't run, can't hit the ball Only here and there a winner or two and some serve&volley

Waiting for the next match

Federer *5-0

Great return winner in that game lol

nearly everyone should have done better against fed today. bjorkman really sucks.

Gotta give him respect for making it to the semis especially with his frail old body...

Jesus christ this is really sad..fed is making bjork look like an idiot out there

give the guy a break...he's 34 years old.

Agassi would have done better today and he's 36 years old with less match practice.

I think all you needed is a girl screaming in the livescoring thread for a junior from her country winning a set in Wimbledon semis...

COOOOMEEEE OOOOON MARCIIIIIN :crazy:

Gotta give him respect for making it to the semis especially with his frail old body...

I already said I have sypmathy for him, sort of like his character and his "frailness" - but he is getting ridiculed buy Fed. Almost any player would give him more trouble

give the guy a break...he's 34 years old.
Still... I think he is a better player than this. He might be burnt out after his QF against Stepanek. He lost both mix doubles yesterday.

Gotta give him respect for making it to the semis especially with his frail old body...
you are so right. How many other 34 yr olds have made it to the semis here?
Give the guy some credit. Did anyone really expect him to give Fed any great challenge...I don't think so.
It would have been nice to see a better competition but I say great job Jonas for getting this far! and while playing dubs and mixed dubs too!

Of course he deserves respect and credit, why actually the others didn't make this semi and he did :retard:

Ah and Marcin Gawron leads 7-6 3-0 :angel: please stay focused child...

LOL! Federer mutters to himself after missing that FH.

Still... I think he is a better player than this. He might be burnt out after his QF against Stepanek. He lost both mix doubles yesterday.

Oh, he definitely is and he would give other players some problems even today, but the thing is that he doesn't think he can beat federer and neither does federer.

Jonas is on the attack right now ...

wow....wow

Does anyone think Federer needs a double break cushion just in case...?

Does anyone think Federer needs a double break cushion just in case...?

in case what? he passes out from boredom?

Does anyone think Federer needs a double break cushion just in case...?


you kidding right?

was there a rain delay today? this match should've been on 3 hrs ago.

On 2nd thought...perhaps not :lol:

was there a rain delay today? this match should've been on 3 hrs ago.


yes

YEESSSS!!

<crunch>

That was the sound of Federer crushing a bug...

brilliant Roger :hatoff:

interesting to see if he will go on to lose a set in the whole tournament, whether he faces baggy or nadal...

Jonas, good SF :yeah:

Thiemo de Bakker time

two of my favourites, marcos and rafa, always like to see rafa-fed but think marcos will win it

Poor Polish guy lost his break in the second set :tears: now it's gonna be 5-5 soon and later.... hell knows :(

GAME STARTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Triple break point for nadal on Baggy's serve

Break Rafa!! 1-0
Vamoosss

cya baggy

...Bad start from Marcos. Unforced errors + no first serves + broken to love. :o

8 seconds into the match and Baghdatis is about to lose the first set.

Nadal breaks - only needing one of the 3 bp's to break

1-0

The match didn't even start and Nadal already started his gamensmanship - he made Baghdatis wait for him on the service line

Finally a good point from Baghdatis.

2-0 Rafa.
Great start :yeah:

:lol: @ Baggy.

Unless Baggy's explosiveness and serve overcome his UE filled game, we are in for the same result as the previous match.

Baggy on the board - down a break

2-1 to rafa

Unless Baggy's explosiveness and serve overcome his UE filled game, we are in for the same result as the previous match.

expensive stuff for all wimbledon viewers who bought tickers for the semis.

Yes! Marcos wins a game!!! etc.

Still, nervous and patchy start from Baghdatis. Nadal usually takes his time to get into a match, so if he's vulnerable, usually speaking it's in the start, but he's come out well here. If Baghdatis wants to dent Nadal, he has to have at least 60% first serves in (preferably 65%-70%), attempt to dictate the points carefully, and keep the unforced errors low. Nadal on the other hand can either use his serve to dictate or keep the rallies longer, and either way he should be the favorite.

u tool baghdatis
at least take a set

Very slow start from Baghdatis. He is not in the match yet. Don't tell me we will watch another Bjorkman...

And as I am typing this he makes another UE

Come on Baggy hold serve, as I type he is now down 15-40 on serve 2BP's

I agree- patchy start from marcos- prob the same way Hewitt had a patchy start against marcos..

i voted he has a 10% chance of winning this match, it's more like 1%

baghdatis
flight to cyprus leaves heathrow in 90 minutes
i'm sure you can make it.

Fuck 2 Breaks for Nadal, I just don't get this Baggy normally a decent serve and nadal well has barely got a serve IMO. What the hell?

Baggy needs to get a break back just to get some confidence

Bagdhatis serve looks so meek on this match. With this kind of game he has no chance at all

Fuck 2 Breaks for Nadal, I just don't get this Baggy normally a decent serve and nadal well has barely got a serve IMO. What the hell?

All mental my friend

stupid hewitt
why couldn't you have beat marcos.
now there is going to be 2 non competetive SFs

BP get him Baggy

Break point Marcos!!!:D
Pame Marco!!

Wasted Deuce

:rolleyes: stupid hewitt
why couldn't you have beat marcos.
now there is going to be 2 non competetive SFs

Hewitt was prob too busy thinking about his wife bec... id prob have the same prob if i were in his shoes

stupid hewitt
why couldn't you have beat marcos.
now there is going to be 2 non competetive SFs

Hewitt was prob too busy thinking about his wife bec... id prob have the same prob if i were in his shoes :rolleyes:

AD Nadal

Watching this match you will say that Wimbledon = Roland Garros on grass. It is so ugly, a blasphemy if I may say We need someone to take out this hooligan Nadal. But is Baghda the one?

Allez Marcos, break him!!!!!!

Wasted 2 BP, AD NAdal for 2nd time with game pt, now 5-1* time to hold here, need to build confidence for the next set

damn 15-15 come on Baggy start holding your damn serve.

Marcos needs his girfriend to watch. perhaps

A break probably wouldn't have saved the set for Marcos but would have given him much needed confidence. He has come out playing really poorly today i.e. can't hit a serve, can't hit a FH, etc. Nadal is playing pretty well by taking advantage.

This is a demolition. A "Well done, Rafa, you beast" is in order here.

come on thiemo fight

where is she??

wow that was unbelievably pathetic broken 3 times on serve, I am ashamed to say I backed Baggy here

That last game was pathetic. Let's see how much fight Marcos has.

ai thiemo 2 bp , deuce now

Ugly match so far. I hope it will be better in the next set!

break him thiemo

I never dreamed Baghda will show up this awfull. We are watching Bjokrman the second

You're a big choker Marcos !!! :(

come on baggy and thiemo fight

Baggy must serve over 70%

he will lose at 30 %. No doubt

well done thiemo, now baggy should follow him and break

The only good news for Marcos is he gets a clean slate in the 2nd set.

15-30 come on Marcos get a BP atleast

30 all damn wasted the nice 0-30 opener

OMG Marcos... :(

wonder if nbc will show bag's mom now?

come on thiemo great fighting

Hold serve Marcos, I know its a trying thisng to ask but please man

3 SET beatdown by NADAL

federer better bring his A game on sunday
otherwise nadal will beat him

0-15 come on Baggy get your 1st serve in

In this case, I don't really care that NBC is screwing over the West Coast; no need to watch this crap right now.

0-30 Baggy must be wanting to catch a flight home, did someone check baggy to make sure he still had a set on him. As I type 3 BP's to love for Nadal

come thiemo break again

Poor Marcos... :(

bp thiemo, come baggy fight

Deuce

Welcome to the 2006 Finals Bryan Bros

go thiemo

Ad Baggy

Marcos just save three break points!This match is not over yet!!Maybe Nadal will have to hurry to catch the plane to Madrid!!

great work baggy

Good for Marcos, he came back from 0-40 and held. He at least prevents a bagel.

Now break him Baggy

i will cheer for the guy who is behing, go baggy make it one set all

1-1 *15-0 Nafal serving

30-0

First set to Thiemo 7-5 , he was 2-5

after Robin Haase another Dutch finalist at the youth wimbledon, come on thiemo you can do it

wonder if nbc will show bag's mom now?

Not however often as during his match against Lleyton !!!

3-3!Marcos is cruising on his serve now!:D

It was 3-2 Nadal, but they are on serve in the 2nd Set.

for sure bag will fuck up this bp

obviously

for sure bag will fuck up this bp


he did

Baggy looks like enjoying very much the match

he's acting like he's trying to break Sampras' serve.

Another bp missed by Marcos... :(

It was 4-3 Nadal, but they are still on serve.

I see bag boy losing the tiebreak badly and getting wiped in the third.

Marcos will lose this set 4-6. Clear as water.

I see bag boy losing the tiebreak badly and getting wiped in the third.


What a shame

god damn nadal takes forever between serves

god damn nadal takes forever between serves

the guy blows his wad on every point what do you expect, he needs a lot of time.

score please?

Allez Marcos!!!

god damn nadal takes forever between serves

It is what the commentators said. Little as Mario but the Croat does not make it anymore.

Baggy is playing with pretty high balls which favour a lot Nadal's game

come on thiemo

score please?

6-1 5-4

no aces yet for baggy

thanks universe...

Rafa just can't seem to break Marcos this set.

nadal will break now
clear as ...

0-15 come on Baggy, whoever said there would be a tiebreak may not even get that far

Come on Rafa break him!

15-30 Baggy can't get away with 90MPH serves won't get it done

gsm nadal

FUCK 2 SP's for Nadal

Break now Rafa!!!!!!!!

Ad on 1st Ace of match for Baggy come on man hammer a 2nd and stay on serve

Deuce

Come on BAGGY !!

Rafa break him now!!!!!!!

2nd GP Baggy

GSM Thiemo de Bakker (NED)

Rafa NO!!!!!!!

Baggy was about to win his serving game, but slipped

back to deuce...

Come on Rafa!!!!!!!!

Baggy is starting to hit it sweetly

And as soon as i typed this, rafa comes up with an awesome backhand cross court passing shot

Rafa Come On!!!!!!!

Baggy's 2nd serve is really weak and especially so today.

Baggy survives
5-5

Vamos Rafa!!!!

marcos loves his drop shots :)

Why can't Rafa break him in this set? He broke him so easily in the 1st.

Marcos will lose this set 4-6. Clear as water.

you jinxed.

you jinxed.
Someone must have? Rafa won the 1st Set so easy and now he can't break Marcos :shrug:

Why can't Rafa break him in this set? He broke him so easily in the 1st.

Cos Baghdatis is hitting it well now and is competing in most points. Not to mention he is serving better than he was in the 1st set

Rafa holds

6-5 (2nd set)
