A good day for the Brits at Queen's Club. Andrew Murray beat world number 30 Taylor Dent in straight sets 6-3 6-3 and Greg Rusedski triumphed over Russia's Dmitry Tursunov 6-1 6-7 6-4

.

Looks like the Scud went out in a whimper to A-Rod. I guess that was a disappointing match 6-2 6-3.

Wow. He needs to calm down a bit doesn't he? It's not good for his health. Is he still having problems?

I guess all his problems are mentally, even the things with his heart.. it's always in stress situations that it happens, so..

I should catch up with the action of yesterday, no idea who played and what the results where, they fired my best friend at work here, so we had too much drinks last evening, and when I returned the action was already over.. And tonigh I'm going to U2 , so I hope to see some nice semifinal action tomorrow..

Johansson beat Henman

Yep, Johansson beat Henman 6-4 6-4 in the quarters. Apparently Henman was playing well short of his best. Hopefully the Wimbledon draw will be kind to him

Roddick vs. Karlovic in the Queen's final and Federer vs. Safin in Halle. I gusee Safin can play on grass then! Maybe he'll rethink showing up at Wimbledon.

No idea.. But coverage on German tv starts in half an hour I hope the final will be as exiting as their semi at the Aussie Open

Watching tennis in German is really a nightmare

But it's a great match : Federer vs. Safin 6-4 6-7 *2-1 Looks like Federer is the better player in the 3rd set now

The early break in the 3rd set was enough for Federer to win the match 6-4 6-7 6-4

..and Sharapova is currently 6-2 2-2 up against Jankovic in Birmingham; Roddick 7-6 2-2 with Karlovic so it looks like Administrator's prediction looks safe!

NineEighteen · Senior Member

Looks like I may have posted too soon. Sharapova dropped the second set 4-6 so it'll go to a decider. Are you Sharapova fans getting nervous?

Roddick 7-6 6-6(4-0) Karlovic

Administrator · Forum Administrator

I am! But then again she looks beautiful win or lose!

Roddick won 7-6 7-6.

Anyone know where I can find the lastest score in Birmingham?
