the French open is probably the easiest Slam for a non-Williams sister to win -

yup, serena only won it for the 2nd time this year. the first was in 2002 and that was when she beat her sister - who has never won it.

Zakopalova serving to beat Li Na.. and gets broken, it's 6-6.

Djokovic leads 6-3, 1-1 and has won 24 points on his own serve, lost 1. That's a 96% win rate on his own serve :eek:

Dolgopolov has been one of the up & comings for a few years but has never broke through to the top

what odds on a chardy 5 set victory then?

i might even feel sorry for him.... but he is french so i won't.

Robson & Raymond just lost 1st set (battled well after both losing their first service games)

Inglot & Konta 8-8 in the 3rd

el_dazza · 29 Jun 2013 at 20:05

Absolute masterclass from Djokovic. Can't see anything other than a Djokovic/Murray final tbh. Inglot/Konta is 11-12 now, 24 straight holds there.

17-17.. they win 19-17!

Mr.Williams on now against Date-Krumm.

isonomicjedi · 29 Jun 2013 at 20:48

Well done to Dominic Inglot & Johanna Konta who win 4-6 6-3 19-17

date-krumm breaks serena's serve. good on her.

Doohickey · 29 Jun 2013 at 21:18

Feel a bit sorry for Date Krumm, she just looks so feeble.

Doohickey · 29 Jun 2013 at 21:30

Urgh, I can't stand Serena's contrived spinning around wave celebration.

Somnambulist · 29 Jun 2013 at 21:31

No breadsticks but still got served a bagel.

What a day, had a blast at Centre Court! I don't think Djokovic ever fully woke up during that match, not that he needed to. And, Serena Williams is a beast :eek:

The Tomic match was fun.

Felt a bit sorry for Dolgopolov but he made a few silly shot choices which cost him at important points - that was part of the unpredictability that also made him great to watch though.

Pleased to see Robson made it through after a rather nervy start, some of the later tennis she was playing was pretty good but she can't afford a start like that against some of the better players.

I was happy to see Murray go through in straight sets again so hoping for more of the same tomorrow. Robredo offered a decent enough challenge but was never all that likely to trouble him too much.

COME ON LISICKI!!!!

i'd really like to see her beat serena but i'm not overly confident. i know she gives the ball a good wallop and has a nice touch around the court but can she play at a high enough level to knock out the beast?

^ this. Can't see it happening but would love for her to win.

I tipped Dodig at 3/1 to beat Ferrer today and he's a set up.

Kanepi seems kinda...bad.

5 service faults in a row there, that's poor.

el_dazza · 1 Jul 2013 at 13:40

Robson breaks for 5-4!

And gets broken straight back with a dire service game.
