hoping for Del Potro and Janowicz to advance today.

Mandatory comment - ignore the troll

On topic, haven't watched tennis for years - Sabine looks really good - could she be the new Steffi?

Nice thing about the women's draw is that it seems less predictable than the mens (although this year's mens was anything but)

I've been watching her for 3-years now. After Serena, you arguably couldn't find a bigger hitter in the ladies tour. Massive serve, powerful forehand and big hitter from the baseline. Serena claims she (Sabine) has the biggest serve she's ever faced. Her drawbacks are inconsistency, accuracy (she'll smash home a pinpoint power shot then spray the next 2/3 shots all over the place) and constant injuries. But at 23 she's got some time to find consistency, however, the injury bug may be something that will always affect her. She loves playing on grass as well.

Did you notice the racist crowd? And they say we (left wing persons of colour) are obsessed with race...

Huh? The Wimbledon crowd love an underdog as well as an upset. Also, Sabine Lisicki herself is a crowd favourite because of her friendly demeanour (both on and off-court).

Hmm, very interesting. May start watching again.

Tennis got boring cos of no credible challengers to Serena.

Oh, and just ignore the troll.
 
I've always had high hopes for Ana Ivanovic but after she won that single French Open it just all went to hell in a hand basket for her! She is looking a lot leaner and more for but her mental game seems to suck big time...

Let's hope Sabine Lisicki can adjust her play style a bit to control that canon she has, and also so she doesn't injure herself all the time! Play style has everything to to with injuries... And surfaces of course :)
 
I'm eagerly anticipating another upset in the men's draw. Although I'd prefer Djokovic to take the title over Murray I'd really like to see new blood in the finals.

A Del Potro vs Janowicz final would be pretty spectacular imo. Two big-hitting giants going at it. :D

This Wimbledon gave us a taste of a tennis world without Federer and Nadal, and i have to say it's boring.
