Berdych of all people wasn't going to beat Fed at Wimbledon? Look it's why they play matches, nothing is set in stone. You never know. All I ask is that it's not a beatdown like he got in the Semis a couple of years ago. In fact all I really care about is that he makes it to the QF because he needs to maintain points, whatever happens from there is up to Andy.
Well, you never know, but we've seen enough Roger-Andy matches. Andy needs to be aboslutely at his best to make the match competative. They played twice in AO, in semifinals - 2007 and 2009 - Andy was playing well, and he still got a beatdown.
And at this point of his career, QF is nothing. He has played enough QFs. It's Slam or not. Here, though luck. Maybe at Wimbledon will be better.
I just want Andy to get as far as he can by playing how I know he can. Maybe Fed will get sick, whatever and end up not even making it all the way...not likely but this is tennis where anything happens. I'm not disappointed he's not getting a slam; I'm more disappointed that he's not playing anywhere close to where he needs to play in order to win that slam, except for Wimby 09.

Maybe Gilles Simon will have another accident and beat Fed before he gets to Andy.
Otherwise this draw is and I can't see anyone new winning this title. Same old, same old.

Flashback to last year's Koala-Andy.

Jan can play brilliant at times and he nearly beat Fish at US Open until he got injured. But it is rare he can keep it up for a long time so Andy should win in 3 sets. Jan has also just came back from injury and has not played for a while so this makes it easier for Andy.
I agree. The only ones who are funny and have a sense of entertainement are Andy and Novak. The rest of them do not know what to do.Hewitt is cute but not that funny.

Too boring without him; so for the sake of everyone he had to do it!!
Honestly he and Nole should just go it alone.
Agree, and Murray is actually pretty good with the physical comedy. He didn't say much but his grunting and his trick shots were fun. I think he likes to play off of Andy and Novak even if he's too shy to lead the way. I knew AndyR was going to shout out foot fault even before he sat down in the chair. Loved the way his Weekend at Bernie's joke went right over the head of half the audience.

murray was pretty good out there. ia that he's better with the physical comedy. and of course novak and andy -- surprise, surprise -- were their usual charming selves out there. the girls weren't that bad, either (i thought ana and novak were pretty amusing together). i've only watched the first segment so far, though, but rafa and roger are usually amusing together and kim is fun, too -- last time i saw sam she was a bit awkward, hopefully she loosened up some this time.

Hopefully Andy just bought the owner of that hat a new one and didn't return it soaking wet with Andy sweat. He was pretty funny when he sat in the linesman chair and went on about how easy it was to call lines.
