Great win by Blake but what's up with Hewitt's serve? It was failing him at AO too.

Good predictions Tchocky and glad to see you benefitted.
Where do you recommend betting on 10s matches ?
Thanks

Excellent win by James! i think he thoroughly deserved it. The match cheered me up after the disappointing match by RF the other day.

I've always thought that James' game matched up well against Hewitt's. He's been so close on so many occassions to beating him, but failing in guts every time.

I'm glad that James went into the match with the attitude that he could and should win. And low and behold, he beat the abuntantly unlikable Hewitt. I couldn't be happier.

Welcome, Frida! Where in the UK are you from? I'm planning a trip to Wimbledon this year. Maybe we can grab a pint.

Default Praise was over-the-top

Considering the history of these two players--that racial comment in reference to the black linesman at the US Open a few years ago, I was surprised that Blake called Hewitt one of the greatest of "all-time" in his post-match comments. Hewitt is no where in the league of the great Aussies like Laver, Rosewall, Emerson, Newcombe, or Fraser.

I agree that the "one of the greatest players of all time" comment went a bit far. Hewitt aint that great yet.

Hewitt was on his way. He was #1 for a while, won a few Grand Slams, went away, came back and almost won the Australian on guts alone, was beating everyone except Federer...and now he's a shadow of himself. He's in the top 20 greatest of all time to me. That's still an achievement.

If hewitt's backhand was better there would be less pressure on the rest of his game. He needs to develop a backhand that he can thump consistently. Beats me why he hasnt hired a proper coach to fix his backhand.

Hey Tchoky!

I school in Brighton but I go to London frequently. I see you're familiar with British words already. We could go get a pint at the pub, mate! - i'm not so good at it. i've only been schooling here for a few months

Have fun at Wimbledon!
