Wawrinka in huge trouble vs Medvedev :eek:

el_dazza · 3 Jul 2017 at 19:45

Even bigger now.. 1-3 in the 4th set. This is amazing.

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Jul 2017 at 19:51

Mental collapse.

What's gone on here. He totally wasn't bothered at the end.

Pigeon_Killer · 3 Jul 2017 at 19:56

Appears to be a knee injury.

marc2003 · 3 Jul 2017 at 19:56

He's always hated grass I think - never been past the ~~4th round~~ just checked and it's quarter finals.

Karlovic/Bedene could rival Isner/Mahut. Calling it now, I reckon it'll beat it. Neither remotely close to losing serve.

marc2003 · 3 Jul 2017 at 20:35

Absolutely gutted...Lisicki is out.

edit: Ostapenko took her first set 6-0 and is now 5-1 down. Stupid women's tennis...

el_dazza · 3 Jul 2017 at 20:39

Great call from me.. Bedene wins 8-6

I used to be a massive tennis fan and really get excited when Wimbledon would come round and try to watch as many matches as possible but I find myself less and less interested each year for the simple fact you just can't believe anyone outside Federer, Djockovic, Murray and Nadal can win it. And even Murray has no chance this year due to his injury which is obviously far worse than he's letting on.
Bring back the glory days of Sampras, Rafter, Aggasi and Goran Ivanisevic etc
And the Women's haven't even got Anna Kournikova, Hantuchova etc to perv at anymore

Maybe Aggasi and fairy tale Ivanisevic return, but the Sampras (and earlier Ivanisevic) era of lolloping, heavy hitter serve merchants, is definitely the most underwhelming periods (as a viewer) of tennis in my viewing lifetime.

People still watch woman's tennis? With all the ridiculous screaming I cannot remember the last time I bothered.

The Williams sister(s) always seem to be in a real pickle before most Wimbledon events? Car death this time?

Bouchard won the first set 6-1 then went 1-6 1-5..

Womens tennis can be dire.

marc2003 · 3 Jul 2017 at 21:09

I knew she'd lose. She's ranked 60 odd in the world now.

Merlin5 · 4 Jul 2017 at 16:58

Djokovic (6-3, 2-0) and Federer (6-3, 3-0) are through, but amazingly were at similar scores just before BOTH opponents retired early from injury during the second set.

marc2003 · 4 Jul 2017 at 18:51

Bummer for those who had once in a lifetime tickets but it's not like the results were ever in doubt.

marc2003 · 4 Jul 2017 at 23:58

So..... Jo Konta is first up on Centre tomorrow. Ranked 6 in the world but never been past the 2nd round before..... Still, I'd like to see her do well. She appeared to move OK on Monday after that nasty fall at Eastbourne last week.

Pigeon_Killer · 5 Jul 2017 at 19:48

Great hard fought victory for Konta earlier, a very impressive straight sets victory for Murray who looked like he was moving far better today and now a serve volleying Nadal's whipping Young.

marc2003 · 5 Jul 2017 at 19:55

That girl who Konta beat is 21 and 32 year old Stan Wawrinka is poking her. Good work sir!

Pigeon_Killer · 5 Jul 2017 at 20:00

Wasn't he banging her while he was still married and she was in her teens?
