Wimbledon prediction game! Day 1

He is still a good and dangerous player...Kholi doesn't have a weapon to trouble him.
Nice game but rarely beats top 10 players.

Unfortunately born in the wrong era!

He certainly is. I just don't enjoy watching him a lot.

Not many people do. I supported him for patriotic reasons and because he had to work twice as hard as others because of wars, poverty plus all Nadal favouritism.

He has some very good shots, but unfortunately plays safely.

It's hard to win and play beautifully these days.

That's why Fed is so special.

When you see Monaco doing well on grass, you know there is something wrong!

Maybe Stan can do the FO/Wimby double!

I realised what Broady meant (was actually).

I am not keeping up anymore.

It would be interesting to see how Stan plays on grass. So long as he is relaxed he'll be dangerous...not that hands are rewarded much these days...

I don't know what his draw looks like.

He's one of us

I knew it straight away but know what you mean.
After seeing the pseudo of one of  his mates' who is playing prediction game, one can never be too sure...

Wawrinka's draw is certainly looking good until the QF, Raonic/ Kyrgios could take him out there though, if they make it that far.

If he gets to SF and meets Djokovic, it's his to lose.

Stan't footwork on grass is not good, so that's probably his worst surface.

I can't stand BBC's biased pro-Hewitt commentating.
Go Nimi!

Pretty warm out there...apparently it's going to be 34 degrees on Wednesday!!!

Hewitt is actually only. Few months older than Nieminen.

It must be tough for them to play in this weather, 10:9 in the 5th!
Unlike Isner/Mahut, neither have a big serve, so have to work for every point...

And Nimi wins 11:9!!!

He really deserved it as he played better tennis (his first win over Hewitt!)

Is this Hewitt's last Wimbledon?

Time see how Stan is doing, just won the first set.

Stan is striking the ball well, Sousa not making it difficult for him, though.
Perfect 1st round opponent.

What's he like as a player, did you watch the match?

Pouille 2 close sets down
I wanted to go and watch him, just couldn't bring myself to queuing up for the ground pass, hoping he'd make it to Wednesday.
allez!!!!

Another allez! for Herbert, playing Chung.

Lefty.
Nice player. Hit a lot of winners today. 20 in the first set that he lost. 1st ever win at a slam. Not many weapons but not bad.
