Watching on Eurosport HD as the bbc blethering tripe commentary was doing my nut (like Leggard with the F1 always havingto fill a silence that doesn't need it)...........anyway, anyone see the tennis-point.com advert in the last break......second scene doing the splits......actually the whole blommin advert, a welcome break from watching the guys this morning!!!
It's very easy to forget what a stunning level of tennis these two are playing at when they make it look so easy and are repeating it so consistently.
Upping the first serve percentage for Murraynis really paying off, takes a bit of pressure off him and makes Novak go looking for it.

Not seen it or visited their site because of it. Doesn't sound like very effective advertising to me..did you see the bit where they are running up the stairs.. genius!
Not a tennis fan but am watching this morning. Why do tennis players drink their fluids from old plain waterbottles? They all seem to do it. Is there a rule or a tradition as to why they do this. With all the sponsorship now you'd think that whatever brand the players choose to drink the companies would take the opportunity to advertise their brand with gucci water bottles.

Drink Containers. Players are permitted to use drink containers oncourt if they are of reasonable size and they contain no logo or writing of the manufacturer. The ATP has designated three (3) beverage categories of drinks for purposes of this rule: water, electrolyte or other drinks. The supervisor may approve for use on-court a reasonably sized drink container that has a logo or writing, not to exceed four (4) square inches (26 sq. cm.) if:
· The center court drink sponsor is the same as the player’s drink container manufacturer, or;
· The advertised center court drink sponsor(s) is not in the same beverage category as the player’s drink container.
Basically the greedy f· The center court drink sponsor is the same as the player’s drink container manufacturer, or;
· The advertised center court drink sponsor(s) is not in the same beverage category as the player’s drink container.
