    Recent Limey performance at Wimbledon Qualies = Crappy..

    Draws come out tomorrow with play Monday morning!!! Keep in mind that unlike the other Grand Slams,Wimbledon holds their qualies at Roehampton, which is courts all next to each other with tons of matches all going on at the same time.Must take some mental fortitude to keep focused.

    Figure like the French Open where the Wild Cards had some success in the qualies,I figure I would check and see how the UK folks did...Pretty Shitty..15-57 overall last 4 years..Maybe throw in some round robin parlays fading these suck-bags is the only thing I can come up with.You might make your bankroll with house money to play with before the main draw even starts.

    2011 1-6
    2010 2-9
    2009 4-7

    Women..even shittier..
    2012 1-8
    2011 1-6
    2010 2-6
    2009 2-6

    Now with them sucking so much I figured maybe to check the seeded and unseeded(an older possibly more savvy bunch of stiffs, but still capable to pull out some victories), but I could only find 1 mens and womens since 2010 that was good enough among UK mento make the main draw without a free pass.What does that tell you about the crappy state of tennis in the UK.

    Maybe I will check how the Yanks do in the Qualie draw as we seem to always traditionally done well on grass.

    Stay tuned..

    Americans kick major ass last 4 years in Qualies..Think you can throw out 2011 for the Men as the anomaly. Did not look at prices..Would think that the women would be a better price off hand

    Probably the result of the UK producing shit-all in the way of tennis players outside of Andy Murray.

    Yeah but you know you Yanks would swap all your Fishes and Querrys and Russels and Isners for just one Murray in a heartbeat.

    Pretty sure I'd take the USA tennis legacy over the UK tennis legacy any day. One player does not make up for a century of mostly nothing.

    Lol. Wasn't talking about legacy was I EP. Sure Sampras and AA were great but so was the English 1966 world cup winning team, doesn't help our current crop one bit though.

    In terms of mens tennis Williams currently is a better player than Murray
