Good effort by Murray but old serve bot Isner was on a real going day.

Robbo · 29 Jun 2022 at 21:24

Very impressive serving from Isner.

BeeP · 29 Jun 2022 at 21:37

Good match, that Isner serve is a weapon but he also played well, tactics were spot on too.

Emma is still very young, she now has a whole heap of expectation on her and I think she may just have gotten caught up in the hype a bit, if she took those massive Pearl earrings off she might have been quick enough to reach a few more balls

Katy Boulter just knocked out the 6th seed Pliskova, massive result for her :cool:

Terrific result

Ok fine, will watch Boulter jumping around a bit longer....

Her tennis has completely changed - at the US she was just going for every shot, as she's such a newcomer. She won a couple of matches and her confidence grew and grew, and she was hitting harder and harder and just blowing people away.

She's no longer able to play with that freedom as there's an expectation on her, and she's overthinking things more and more, and playing much less aggressively as a result. She's still got the ability, but 99% of the difference between 1 in the world and 100 in the world is in the head and hers isn't there right now.

She'll never win a tournament in the same way as she'll never play with that amount of freedom again. She's still got all the technical ability, but the question for her now is whether she wants to put the hard hours in, and learn to win matches the difficult way, when things aren't going to plan. The reason the top players win tournaments frequently is that (a) they get their head right more often than not, and (b) they solve problems and work out a way to survive even when their game is off. That's what Emma now needs to learn.

Fantastic post.

Another fantastic result for the Brits earlier with Broady beating Schwartzman in 5 sets.

Alice In Wonderland · 30 Jun 2022 at 18:02

Is it my imagination or are the commentators being a bit negative about Nadal?

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Jun 2022 at 20:16

De Minaur vs Draper is a cracker, both hitting bomb after bomb.

Merlin5 · 30 Jun 2022 at 20:36

Yep, two powerful players. Draper doing really well and the crowd are really into it!

One set each now. Here comes set 3.

Pigeon_Killer · 30 Jun 2022 at 21:55

State of these line calls yet again tonight, it's embarrassing to watch. Last one was plum on the line, maybe closer to the inside of the court than out.

3-1 loss for Draper but he was competitive with the 19th seed for the majority of the match.

Merlin5 · 30 Jun 2022 at 21:56

Draper out.

XeNoN89 · 30 Jun 2022 at 22:02

That was a good match

Pigeon_Killer · 1 Jul 2022 at 14:27

Heather Watson about to make the 4th round, a set and 5-0 up.

chroniclard · 1 Jul 2022 at 14:31

Juvan head totally gone. :eek:

DrBotox · 1 Jul 2022 at 15:33

I am full Backing the J.Isner in the mens tourney, and Kvitova in the womans

200sols · 1 Jul 2022 at 17:07

Can't see anyone stopping Djokovich.
