I found this article that seems to confirm what I've always suspected, that center court is allocated not necessarily on skill and seeding but on physical good looks. also. Hardly fair to the better but not so good looking players being consigned to an outer court, whilst some rank fifty bimbo dances round center court flashing her knickers to a half filled court.

Well done, Mr Murray - convincing win.

7-5, 6-3, 6-2

Its good to see a Brit winning for once at Wimbledon, but would it hurt Murray to maybe just smile once in a while?
Whenever he is interviewed he has absolutely nothing about him, except that is a complete lack of charisma, I remember he's mother jokingly saying a couple of years back that he was a "typical sullen teenager"...well he isn't a teenager anymore.
To see his brother before the cameras you wouldn't believe that they were related, far more courteous and polite, if he really is going to be a tennis great it would certainly help him financially to try and project a positive persona not this hang-dog attitude he currently has.
He certainly isn't an easy guy to like or for that matter root for.

Well now, Murray v Roddick... Not sure if Roddick's back on form, looked like Hewitt was forcing himself back into the game at one point...

If it's anything though to go by I think it'll be one of the best games of the tournament and probably even better than the final

Think Roddick's serve will be a bit more difficult to punish than Ferrero's so will be a sterner test for him...

Does anyone know who the guy in the audience with the Stetson hat is? He seems to be there for every important match, and I remember seeing him at previous Wimbledons. Smart looking: Jacket, shirt, tie, and a Stetson hat with some kind of badge on it. Oh, and a smallish beard.

That’s what you get with The Williams. So predictable.
