Wimbledon 2011

Post by Rivergirl »

Well done to Tomic, he's only 18 years old and over the last couple of years has had a bit of negative press especially the Tomic/Lleyton debacle at the 2010 Aus Open. Soderling looked pretty out of it but still a good win for Bernard.

It's great to see Pat Rafter at the Aussie matches, well only one left standing atm. Pat holds a vested interest as Davis Cup captain and a Davis Cup soon in China. I think we have high hopes for Tomic in Davis Cup as it's been a pretty dry run since we last won.

Well done to Lleyton too. That was a pretty gripping 5 setter match with Soderling.

Good to see Tomic playing well & has a great chance of getting to the quarter finals. Be good to see an Aussie male do well & yes would also like to see us being a contender in the Davis Cup again it has been a while.

For sure Moo :) It's going to be a hard task up against Djokovic as he's on fire but Pat Rafter said there's an outside chance that Tomic can do it so let's hope!

Tomic might not have beaten Djokovic but he came close and it's fantastic for Australian tennis. Hopefully Tomic will go so much further, maybe help us in the Davis Cup in China to try to get back into the world group.

Nadal and Djokovic play the final at Wimbledon tonight. It should be a great match!

No shame for Tomic in losing to the tournament winner, even Nadal couldn't take more than a set of Djockovic. Aussies won both junior titles so the future looks good for Aussie tennis. And well done to Petra Kitova who i thought played an almost flawless match against Sharapova.

Yes with Australia winning the junior boys and girl's titles it's very promising for Australian tennis. Good win to Djokovic
