Murray/Djokovic final with you know who winning. See you all again next year.

Poor Ward is going to get his backside handed to him today. Raonic could be a challenger in the mens as could Thiem.

Womens will probably be Serena but Muguruza's going to want to get revenge on her so she'll be thereabouts.

9 games without reply for Djokovic. I can't remember seeing a triple bagel in men's tennis but it's looking likely.

Also, John Inverdale is lead commentator which is a bit... odd.

edit: jinxed it. Ward held serve...

Indeed. Might as well hand the trophy out now and give the men 2 weeks off.

If Serena was anywhere near as consistent as Novak, then you could probably do the same for the women's trophy. She isn't though and possesses the great ability of being able to defeat herself.

Some chap called Marcus Willis who had won £213 all year has just won his first round match in straight sets. World ranked 772 beat the world number 54. Not bad... :eek:

Marcus Willis, world number 772 through to the second round. Only to get to play Federer, most likely.

Why is watching Laura Robson an exercise in frustration?

marc2003 · 27 Jun 2016 at 18:54

Robson has been a crock for years and has no match practice/form. Also, Kerber is grand slam champ...

Didn't know that until just now. Well done to him. At least there's some good sporting news from an English point of view today

Fantastic stories like Willis' run are heart warming. Nobody gave him a hope against Berankis and he thrashed him! Good luck to him today

marc2003 · 29 Jun 2016 at 13:37

You know some players like having a bit of fruit on the change of ends....

el_dazza · 29 Jun 2016 at 16:59

Never seen anyone constantly grin during the warmup!

McBain · 29 Jun 2016 at 17:25

Willis needs to lube up here.

Nothing wrong with his missus though

drunkenmaster · 29 Jun 2016 at 17:35

Was just about to post, girlfriend is silly hot, she should be dating a way better player

Craig1981 · 29 Jun 2016 at 20:45

Poor Willis. Only at the second round and put up against the god of tennis.

Does he get any prize money for making it to the second round?

marc2003 · 29 Jun 2016 at 20:58

Craig1981 · 29 Jun 2016 at 21:03

Really? Wow. That's more than I was expecting. That's still a really nice prize for someone who's only made £213 all year.

And he also gets the exposure from playing Federer, even losing. I bet people will be looking him up now that had never even heard of him before.

McBain · 29 Jun 2016 at 22:48

Yeah the commentators even pimped the tennis club he coaches at, £30 an hour apparently

JanM · 30 Jun 2016 at 11:13

What an amazing run by Willis. Chuffed for the guy....
I could not help thinking there is a player taking part in Wimbledon with a higher body percent fat then me a rec player hahahaha

marc2003 · 30 Jun 2016 at 16:59

Muguruza playing like England at the moment.

...and she's out.
