Laura Robson/Georgie Stoop v Sveta/MoMo

Wimbledon
by conosu2 (U9956155) 26 June 2009
comment on the article

It's only a second round match for our young players. however I hope it becomes available on the 'red button', the quartet are scheduled to be first up on court twelve.

It's an exciting time for our Grand Slam main draw debutantes, and while I do not expect them to proceed to the third round against such wily veterans as the multi-slammers Sveta and Mauresmo, it will be interesting and entertaining to see how far Laura and Georgie can push their highly experienced opponents.

There aren't many Brits left in the tournament, so this second-round doubles match will be watched by me with great interest, weather and red button permitting.

Good luck Laura and Georgie.

Much better reply than mine, Duggietoo.
I'll hand over the reins to you for responses to future nondescript's puerile inputs.

If I may!

Conosu - we may disagree from time to time and enjoy a bit of banter - but both love the game.

Posts like that hack me off when people go to the trouble of writing good threads.

Sadly symptomatic of 606 these days.

I dont follow the WTA as closely as you, but its good that someone ( and a couple of others) make the effort.

Who are Laura Robson/Georgie Stoop? Are they tennis players? This forum is supposed to be about -professional- tennis, please don't post articles about your relatives or something like that
===============
Just showing your own lack of knowledge I'm afraid.

Better to check before looking stupid.

My knowledge is limited, however I do know/have heard of the top 150 female players but I don't know these Laura Robson and Georgie Stoopid. That must be a sin

So why did you spend a good amount of time a few days ago trolling about Laura Robson then?

Have you got that bad a memory?

AS DJ proves its advisable when you look stupid - not to make yourself seem even more stupid.

When in a hole - stop digging.

What a constructive debate. Brits at the moment are rubbish. Various kids at a school I know in Spain are starting tennis lessons, at a very affordable price, in July at 7 pm at the age of 4. How many British kids do that?
