Wimbledon & the grass court season 2015


Widge

Recommended Posts

So who will win Wimbledon, can Djokovic be stopped. Will Andy Murray get back to his best on the green stuff who knows.

With the Queens draw being out now, a place to post all grass related tennis guff.

Ohh and here's hoping Bouchard finds her form once more, just so she's on the telly more. Surely she can't lose in the 1st round once again.

His draw for Queens is interesting. Plays a qualifier, possibly Verdasco, Dimitrov, Cilic and Nadal/Wawrinka. Queens also becomes a 500 tournament for the first time.

Andy Murray is fit and ready for the Queen's Club after recovering from a bout of illness that he suffered with during the French Open which saw his left eye close up.

Kyle Edmund has withdrawn from Queen's Club as he has not recovered from his abdominal injury which saw him pull out of the French Open.

James Ward is struggling with a foot injury but will play through the pain. Ward will play Milos Raonic.

Laura Robson comeback is delayed again as she has decided not to play at the Aegon Classic in Birmingham. Robson's comeback could now be the Aegon International at Eastbourne on 21 June.

Has it always been a 250?

Has it always been a 250?

It's always been a 250 since they modified the rankings. With the extension of the grass season it is entirely possible that Queens or Halle (more likely) will become a Masters event.

Elixir: One defeat doesn't mean he has been stopped. Karlovic beat him in Adelaide before going on to dominate. A redlining Wawrinka can beat anyone. But Djokovic's consistency means he will be difficult to beat. The draw for Wimbledon is made a week on Friday so that will be interesting.

Queens this year is loaded. Kyrgios Vs Wawrinka is a first round match. Should be cracking matches all week.

Great match there. After blowing the match point and losing the second set, I thought Dolgopolov would eventually lose, never mind when Nadal got the break in the third. Happy to be proven wrong though as I like to see the underdog winning... unlike 90% of the crowd there.

Shame about the BBC trying to shoehorn in any reference to football though. Post match question to Dolgopolov: "Do you watch English football? If so, which team do you support?".

Aye, it was dreadful, as was the interview with José Mourinho afterwards.

Eugenie Bouchard poor form sadly continues as she has lost to Kristina Mladenovic 6-3 4-6 6-0 at the AEGON Birmingham Classic.
