2017 Wimbledon: The Fortnight - Page 8 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

They have just mentioned that, he's supposedly injured so has been following her around on the tour.

No idea who he is, they've just mentioned that he enjoys being over here as he gets mobbed when in the US.

Ah he's a basketball player.

Yea I actually love Konta's plain Jane look on court. Great body like most tennis players and it's obvious she cleans up well.

She screamed it about 10 times on the clip I saw, so on a per f-bomb basis that's not so bad.

Wimbledon is that absurd that this joke was believable. I was kidding, she was not fined. (unless she ACTUALLY was, which would be hilarious, I didn't check)

Does Nadal become the favourite if the grass disappear before the end of the 2nd week ?

He's quite good on dirt courts

Muller looked old v. Rosol, couldn't deal with low balls. Bedene will take him.

I was thinking this the other day,

It might be a really good spot to bet nadal as the courts at Wimbledon are playing a lot slower than normal. Also the weather is suiting nadal more than most other players in the tournament.

His odds have shortened quite a bit too since he hasn't played well on grass in so long but started so well here after such a beast of a 2017 up until now. Definitely a good bet for me. Should be favoured ahead of GOAT Roger imo and I am a total fanboy.

I've bet fed/djok before tournament started to both make the semi's at 2.4/1 which I think is -240 is US odds.

Kinda feel nadal to win E/W would be a good bet at this stage with odds around 3.5/1

That's because the two favourites got duffed out and women's tennis is in a very sorry state indeed. It's honestly in probably the worst state of the open era.

Yeah, I mean Serena would still be favorite if she were playing while 7 months pregnant, right?

Ostapenko is obviously a good player but it's amazing the run she's on in regards to women choking against her in these last 2 Grand Slams.

How can no one expose her serve? Especially her 2nd serve? It's Errani bad.
