security alert, prolly a suspicious bag or something. After the fed incident at the french people are being more cautious.

Has anyone who has reached 3rd in the world never won anything?

prob quite a few. Nikolay Davydenko for one. still playing but doubt he'll manage it now (I presume you mean slams)

dunno mate, maybe 250's.

you can have 1000-1 for wimbledon whenever you like muckeroonie.

Murrary playing next level tennis these days…still won't win Wimbledon though

they're the only 2 people on the tour who give a shit about it.
grass court season is a joke.

Interesting statement. Care to justify it?

the season is essentially a month long, its sandwiched between two longer, bigger prized moneyed surfaces in clay and hard court. (monte carlo (clay), miami (hard court) or halle in holland.. whats more attractive to play at? granted the usa has a couple of grass tournaments but they're hardly prestigious. i think its about 80% of the top 50 who play on grass once a year and thats wimbledon..

fair point, its more the surface then wimbledon itself, but the whole ethos about it being the best tournament is bullcrap. its the least enjoyable to watch and in particular the bbc's coverage which is stuck in the 80's (only last year or the year before they got the 6200 hi def cameras on court and rinsed the slow mo feature on stupid things like a ball toss!) with its 3 camera angles, look at the us and french with its hip height angles where you feel like you're getting an idea for how low the ball is hit, it pains me to watch the coverage.

Nadals knees are fucked, hopefully pulling out of Halle wont affect the Fed. What a way do to 15 though winning wimbledon.
