Disappointed in Tsonga here. Thought he would put up something of a fight.

Tho Rafa's been great.

Very good start to Wimbledon for Rafa who looks in great form although Tsonga looked a beaten man from the start.

Looks like it's too easy for Nadal.

Good to see Konta fighting her way back into the match.

Now that was some anticipation at the net. Practically match point for Jo. :cool:

McBain · 6 Jul 2019 at 16:38

Impressive stuff from Konta.

an0nym0us · 6 Jul 2019 at 16:52

Great comeback by Konta.

Marsman · 6 Jul 2019 at 16:54

Yeah. I thought Stephens had that match as she was playing too well for Konta until midway through the 2nd set. Konta did well to keep in touch though. Once Stephens' level dropped and she started to wobble, Konta pounced and just got stronger until the finish.

Kvitova up next though. If she plays well, I'd imagine she will have too much for Konta.

Andy getting carried by Serena

This Evans match is absolutely fantastic, both so evenly matched.

robfosters · 6 Jul 2019 at 21:03

Is Dan Evans the full ticket?

Pigeon_Killer · 6 Jul 2019 at 21:07

Oh well, Nadal would've ruined Evans anyway.

No 1 seed out!

Nadal is playing at such a high standard, walking all over Sousa.

Coco Gauff is on BBC 2 right now against Halep. She just broke Halep's service game to go 1-1 in the first set and just went 2-1 up on her own service game. The other day, Navratilova said Halep would be one mountain too high for Gauff to climb. We shall see. Hopefully another epic match!

Just saw the successful hawkeye challenge by Gauff. On first viewing, don't think it should've been a replay of the point, Halep didn't seem close enough to return it. Maybe I didn't see it clearly enough.

A lot of the commentators and former pros have said the balls are much slower this year which is favouring the clay court specialists.

Nadal certainly looks as good on grass as he has for a while and a lot of players have got in to the second week that perhaps weren't expected to.

Yeah I kind of missed that, what actually happened there?

It was Gauff's service and at deuce. I only saw it once, but looked to me like Gauff had won the point with a winner out to Halep's backhand side, but it was called out. Gauff challenged and hawkeye showed it was on the line. Umpire judged that Halep was close enough to the ball, so decided to make them replay the point, therefore stayed at deuce. Then Gauff lost next 2 points.
