Isn't it more to do with people leaving the area rather than the sound from inside the court?

Yeah true, that occurred to me. And perhaps the decibel spikes of cheering and applause that they're worried about.

Edit, beaten. And yes. Very noisy.

I guess the problem is the people leaving. Still, 2 weeks of the year. Crazy.

Exactly, you'd think the Wimbledon residents would welcome 2 weeks of superstars in their neighbourhood.

This is too close to call at the moment. Djokovic is serving better and holding his serve easier but Nadal seems to be playing better. Reckon Djokovic takes the set if it goes to a tie breaker.

They're probably the same people that write to Points of View to complain about Gardeners World being cancelled for two weeks because the tennis is on.

It is crazily close. I think you are right with a tie break.

Do not place the ball on Rafa's forehand.

Pigeon_Killer · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:33

Oh, hello. 0-30, c'mon Rafa!

Dirk · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:34

It will be a crime to stop this match tonight. I hope the players refuse to come off!

Merlin5 · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:36

Lol, both players looking so fired up and angry while walking past each other after that game

Merlin5 · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:39

Tiebreak incoming!

Marsman · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:41

Here's a question; assuming the tie break is done before 11:00, will they just call it a night? Surely starting the next set is not the best idea.

Yep, commentator was suggesting they'll probably call it after this set.

Crowd are going to very ****** in a few minutes

Dirk · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:45

Best overhead in the business...

Merlin5 · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:50

Come on Rafa!

Pigeon_Killer · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:52

Incredible tennis.

Dirk · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:54

This match is..

LEGENDARY!!

Merlin5 · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:56

Goliath v Goliath

Pigeon_Killer · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:56

They wouldn't stop mid tiebreaker would they?

Psycho Ned · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:56

Question starting to get close is........what happens if this is still going in 4 minutes?! Surely they won't pull it mid breaker?

Merlin5 · 13 Jul 2018 at 22:59

It's a shame it has to continue tomorrow as it can change the momentum of each player and give a different outcome.
