Wimbledon- Local Interest

[Lao]

Scouser Ken Skupski is playing in the men's doubles with Colin Fleming.

Drawn to play the Bryan brothers (world number 1's) in round two.

Ken and Colin actually beat them at Queens last week, before going out in the qf.

Good luck Ken

Good luck Ken

Good luck Ken but i am not over confident he will get so far at Wimbledon. Murray is are only faint hope.

I don't know....I've got a feeling about him this year.

Murray defo has a chance, more so with the missing Rafael Nadal. Where was Ken Skupski born? He has a Eastern Europe surname.

 

[Lao]

South Liverpool born and bred.

I'm a teacher, he came to our school. Has a younger brother Neal, who is at Louisiana State Uni on a Tennis scholarship at the moment. Another good prospect for the future.

As you say though, somewhere down the line there must be Eastern European blood or something!

Nice one mate, i will be routing for him.

1st match on court number 9 today.

 

[pbsuper]

Just won the first set on the tie break.

 

[pbsuper]

Going with serve in the second set, currently 5 all

 

[pbsuper]

Lost 3 sets to 2, after being 2 sets up. The third set went to a tie break aswell, but another Brit has gone.

Skupski just won his mixed doubles match with Katie o'Brien I think.

 

[Lao]

He certainly did. Murray and Skupski flying the flag for Britain (and Katie O'Brien)!!

COYB (Brits)

Murray into the fifth set. A little on the ropes here.

 

[Azzbot]

Great game o' tennis that.

Well done to the other lad though, took the game to him.

 

[Lao]

I thought this game may be the banana skin..and it nearly was. Great game though.

Love him or loathe him, Murray has got something that Henman, Rusedski and the like never had. He's arrogant, animated, confident. Put your wad on him this year..
