    Wimbledon 2008

    It's well under way. Who's impressed so far? The Fed Express has looked his usual self, sure favourite in my opinion.

    Did not expect to see Djokovic crash out so early, and so poorly it should be added - he didn't turn up for the Safin match at all!

    I am not impressed, it makes my life a bloody nightmare. You can't move in and around where I live for the people and they take over the car park at Wimbledon mainline station and put an artificial tennis court in there. If you are unlucky Cliff Richard will give an impromptu concert. And people park in my close for the bloody tennis.

    Overall I hate Wimbledon fortnight and also don't really like tennis either.

    I'm glad Djokovic is it out, I can't stand that guy the amount of times he has to bounce the ball before serving.

    Djokovic? I always thought Djokovic was quite a good sportsman, always smiling and courteous in defeat. Nadal on the other hand, he bounces the ball forever.

    That was just awesome from Andy Murray this evening. What a special match!

    I can't see him producing that kind of performance against Nadal, but you never can tell!

    Andy Murray did a Turkey today, an amazing comeback. Not sure if he could do the same with his next opponent, Nadal will finish him off if he plays like he did in the first two sets against Gasquet.

    I missed it but in his last match he didn't quite look like a winner yet. i've high hopes for him though, looks like he might manage it some day

    not that I've given up on him this year

    you did miss it and probably the best match to watch this year, OMG it was sensational, I thought he was down and out nearly the best come back in the world just before the Liverpool v Milan champions league... Brilliant

    Murray is not ever going to be better than him at tennis. It really is that simple.

    He is a weakling compared to nadal, he shows his emotion too much, he is not as fit. And he is a boring idiot and yes I have met him.
