Wimbledon 2016

All hail Marcus Willis, the hot new British hope!

772 in the world.
Roger Federer next.
Nice easy match there then .

not on Centre court I imagine

Went to school with Marcus , right lazy twat he was , here's hoping he isn't hammered too bad .

Isn't he from Warwickshire? I thought you are a scouser? Or does he just live there. Reading up about him they say he is a realy nice lad but not the most driven. By all accounts is extremly talented.

No he works in Warwickshire now , was born in Slough and went to school near Reading & as for me my family's all scouse .

As for his drive , he was kind of a cocky prick who thought he was much better than he was & would challenge people to play him , then would occasionally be beaten & accuse them of cheating , seems like something finally clicked for him though which I'm glad happened because you could tell he was decent .

I literally know nothing about him. Just what I read in the papers. Apprently he was very close to giving it up but his girlfriend encouraged him to keep going. Might regret that decision if Federer destroys him. The times had a contrast section on him and Federer. His career earnings are only 72 k.

To be fair if he is destroyed by Federer he'll have been beaten by on the all time greats and have an awesome story to tell the grankids one day .

True. Not a bad little pay day either

it is a bit like watching film Wimbledon but without the Hollywood ending
