Only half watching it, but it looked like her serve went to gooseberry fool at the end of the second set.

I wish Wimbledon spectators would shout something apart from "Come on [English player]!". I've only watched about forty minutes of the tournament and I can't strawberry floating stand it anymore :evil:

Is anyone else really disappointed that Maria Sharapova breaks bits of banana off rather than eating it properly? :(

I imagine she does it for that very reason.

Poor Robson. :(

I couldn't watch a lot of the last set because it looked like she might cry.

Indeed, she probably does do it because she knows it will end up all over the internet and newspapers. Can't see the problem though it will only boost her profile further.

Robson made an excellent debut. She is only 15, right?

Does anyone else think they should've painted the roof the same colour as the rest of Centre Court? I've always liked the bottle-green look of Wimbledon, but they've ruined it by making the roof look like they robbed it off the top of Wembley.

Yeah only 15 so she has her entire career ahead of her yet.

I mean the white metal struts.

It just ruins the aesthetic of the court in my opinion.

Well, good experience for Robson. Her serve went to pieces under pressure, so that's something she'll have to work on. Some of her ground strokes were glorious, though.

If she wants to improve her stroke control i'm sure i could give her lots of practice when she turns 16 :shifty:
