A former workmate of mine went to Wimbledon in 2001, and was disgusted to see Pete Sampras being beaten on Centre Court by some young Swiss upstart called Roger Federer. Maybe she didn't think it so bad in hindsightnellikin wrote:OMGOMGOMG - I saw soo much live, and had such a great time, and now I can say that I have seen Federer (beat Ivo karlovic, which was impressive and nerve-wracking, and wonderful). I also saw Andy Murray beat Edouard Roger-Vasslin in the second round. I hadn't been a great fan of Murray but have changed my mind. He is an incredible tennis player and hat's off to him. I gave him a standing applause for you, XC, (and for me). I was also very impressed with Tommy Haas. He is the oldest player in the tour, but gave his all against Nadal, going down, but making for a wonderful match. Tsonga, too, is wonderful to watch - a real crowd pleaser. Geez, if I lived in Melbourne, I'd go every year. It was amazingly fun. Now I have to turn the telly back on and watch what's going on now
Federer is playing Tomic tomorrow night - my heart is with Federer, but I really hope Tomic gives it his all. It's about time Aussie-land produced a lovely tennis player again, and Tomic fits the bill. I hope he goes far (but not further than Federer .
Glad you had a a great time
