Typical British player, no stomach for a fight when it was needed. Once Federer started to get on top you could see the determination drain from Murray, lack of self-belief and mental strength.

First time I entered the ballot for Wimbledon at the end of last year.. received a letter yesterday saying I was successful and that I have two tickets for centre court on 24th June this year (2nd day) if I want them.  My mum is a massive Wimbledon fan and her birthday is a few days afterwards - I told her last night and she was ecstatic as she has failed in her ticket applications for like the past 10 years or something stupid like that lol ... well chuffed with that..

I knew you can get tickets a day before the game if you are quick off the mark.. but not having to give short notice to work and being able to plan in advance is great.

So went to Wimbo yesterday.. was good.. weird to watch a sporting event in silence though lol..

Got there early and watched a set of the match between number 10 seed Kei Nishikori and Kenny De Schepper... it was such a mismatch.. De Schepper is 6ft 6 and Nishikori 5ft 8 .. lol.. I tell you what, De Schepper can fucking smash his serves though.. he was averaging around 135mph on his first serves and Nishikori was struggling to return any of them... but then a lot of them weren't accurate enough... as it was, Nishikori won in 3 straight sets.

But we went to centre court after the first set...

Saw Lisicki win in 2 straight sets.. she looked bloody good actually.. plus she's quite hot  :o.. I'd tip her for another final appearance.
Saw Nadal beat Klizman - although Nadal lost the opening set.. thought we were in for a decent game.. but he pretty much dominated after that..
And saw Serena easily outclass her opponent in 2 straight sets.

They had another game on after Serena.. but I was bloody knackered.. the seats at Wimbo are so uncomfortable after sitting in them for an extended period... plus I knew it would be much busier trying to get out of London later on.

Would go back.. good experience.. bloody pricy though.. and full of toffs.

Stuck a fiver on Federer to win this years men's singles... Nadal just looks so shit on grass.. got let off again yesterday I see.. Federer is as cool as they come.

Also stuck a fiver on Lisicki.. bit of an outside bet at 16/1 - Serena looks quality this year - will be tough to beat.

Nadal's not looking too impressive again today.

Yep, Nadal got lucky against Rosol... he's lost the first set in each of his 3 games so far.. its only a matter of time and he'll get dumped out... he plays so boring aswell.. takes about 25 seconds just to serve for each point.

Just watched Lisicki get through to R4 after beating the 11th seed.. 6-4, 3-6, 6-1.. she just seems to completely up her game on grass - so I'm happy with my bet even if she doesn't win it... Serena has already been knocked out so there's a good chance for anyone this year.

Lisicki through to the QF.. just... she made so many errors today.. she'll be playing Halep in the next round, should be an awesome match, Halep is 3rd seed.

Federer is absolutely destroying Robredo at the moment, so he should be through too  ;D

Told you it was only a matter of time before Nadal went out.. losing to an ozzie teenager.. great match though.. path is clear for Feds to reach the final.. just has to beat Wawrinka and he should make it

Lisicki just screwed that up.. 4-1 up in the first set and looking really good.. then proceeded to lose the next 11 games to lose 6-4, 6-0  ;D ;D  Terrible serviing and too many mistakes cost her.. but Halep was great when she got going... Feds on centre court later against Wawrinka.. should be a great match.

Yeah he played shit.. deserved to lose I reckon.

Federer looking good for the semi-final.. 2-1 sets up and winning 4-2 in the 4th set  ;D

Gutted as I was planning on putting bets on Lisicki and Bouchard before the tournament to win outright but completely forgot. Now it looks as if Bouchard will win it, she's playing some great tennis.

Omg, Feds has just bought the match to a 5th set after being on the brink of defeat a few times... Epic game!  ;D

Stan James got a bet £10, get £10 free offer on at the moment... was going to do £10 on both mens/womens tournaments.. so that'll do me.

Going for Feds again this year.. Murray is overrated and Djokovic odds are complete pony...

Not going for Lisicki though.. she makes too many mistakes.. I don't get my free bet credited until Monday, but I'm thinking I'll go with Halep - 20/1 for the world number 3.. can't be a bad bet.
