novak 5-2 up in the breaker with 2 serves in hand.... and blows them both.

edit: no matter

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Thought his win over Murray at Queens was a freak result but obviously not. Great effort for a 35 year old at the end of his career.

 

[Merlin5]

now to see if naomi broady can knock caroline wozniaki out. i wouldn't bet too many pennies on it.

Bah, Broady is out.

 

[marc2003]

well it's all up to heather watson to win the ladies title now.

she's up on centre court tomorrow against angelique kerber - seeded 9th and made it to the final of eastbourne last week so that'll be a tough one.

 

[gambitt]

ferrer and azarenka out. pretty big names for the 2nd round.

Ferrer is not a big name on grass because of his playing style; a second round exit was not a surprise. He has overachieved in the last couple of years from having easy draws.

Azarenka also has an awful grass record.

 

[doodah]

Reckon Nadal is a little scared about a rematch with Rosol ?

 

[Setroc]

wow rosol with the break and now serving for the set. Nadal really let him in to that though with a double fault and not putting away the ball when he had the chance at 0-15.

 

[marc2003]

i thought last time was a one off and nadal would blow him away. but nope. rosol takes the first set.

 

[el_dazza]

Rosol breaks to love in the second set and leads *3-2

 

[marc2003]

and rosol breaks nadal to love in the 2nd set.

how can a guy with a lifetime grandslam record of 8 wins and 12 losses play like this (again)?

 

[Setroc]

Well that's another break for Rosol. With Rosol's rankings remaining stagnant before and after his win over Nadal last time the only logical conclusion was that it was a fluke or lightning striking. But he's now doing exactly the same thing again, pretty much unable to miss, attacking every ball, hitting winners at will. It just doesn't make any sense!

 

[el_dazza]

What you can be sure of is if he wins, he'll go out in straight sets next round

 

[el_dazza]

Nadal breaks back

 

[el_dazza]

Nadal wins the tie break 8-6

 

[marc2003]

a double fault to lose the set. doh.

 

[BriT]

What a double fault to give away

 

[el_dazza]

Fastest game ever from Rosol? Took about 20 seconds for all 4 points!

 

[Marsman]

Really good five set match between Richard Gasquet and Nick Kyrgios. I think Gasquet had eight match points on the Kyrgios serve, but couldn't take any of them. You've got to take your chances as it's only a matter of time before the match turns, and sure enough it did, resulting in Kyrgios winning. He deserves a lot of credit for hanging in there, as this was only his second five set match, compared to twenty for Gasquet.

 

[doodah]

Nadal through to the next round. Gasquet is out.

 

[marc2003]

mmm lisicki through to the next round.

and tsonga through 14-12 in the 5th set.
