2015 Wimbledon

Murray first on Court 1 tomorrow. Should be at 1pm then?

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 01-07-2015 09:47 PM

Enjoyed watching Watson earlier, good entertainment. Venus v the Hungarian lassie was good too, probably the shorts that held my interest though.

Not making Wimbledon this year then?

Nah I wasn't there last year either. Had enough of first round Wimbledon for now. Still love watching it though and plan to return at some point.

It will indeed start at 1pm.

Should be slightly cooler today as well which will hopefully help.

Again I don't see anything other than a straight sets win for Murray. Haase is another decent player but he doesn't have a great record at Wimbledon. I don't see him causing Murray many issues.

***Off the bar*** · 02-07-2015 12:30 PM

Murray with a double break in the first set v Haas has raced to a 4-1 lead

***Off the bar*** · 02-07-2015 12:38 PM

6-1 first set in just over 20 minutes, great start from Murray

***Off the bar*** · 02-07-2015 12:45 PM

Already broken him in the second set, Haase is going to have to get himself together or this one will be done pretty quickly

***McSwanky*** · 02-07-2015 12:49 PM

That game (2nd set, 3rd game) is a good example of why Murray's not quite going all the way in the majors just now. Cruising against a guy who's hitting nothing, he conspires to lose loads of points on his serve and can't win anything on his second serve. He needs to cut out dips like that if he's going to challenge Djokovic. You could argue that he found enough to win the game, but he would have been murdered by any half decent player there.

Got distracted at work, flick back and it's all over, good performance from Murray

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 02-07-2015 03:24 PM

Love watching Lisicki play, the epitome of someone happy at their work! She loves the Wimbledon crowd as much as they love her.

**Squealing pig** · 02-07-2015 05:29 PM

Best game so far nadal v brown . That brown is some player

**stoneyburn hibs** · 02-07-2015 06:49 PM

Nadal gone ! It's not really that much of a shock though. I think he is about done.

***PatHead*** · 02-07-2015 07:38 PM

Didn't see much tennis today but saw the end of Nadal. That is 4 years in a row he has lost to someone outside the top 100.

Time to get rid of Uncle Tony?

**Sir David Gray** · 02-07-2015 10:59 PM

I didn't see any of the match but it's really quite sad to see someone like Nadal, who has achieved so much in the last 10 years, losing to someone like Dustin Brown.

I wouldn't be surprised if he calls it a day in the next year or so.

Good result for Murray though. Andreas Seppi next in the third round on Saturday. Can't see too many issues for Murray there.

Is it? The guy is a known blood doper who has openly flouted the drug-testing system for years.

The fact that his Dr got busted 5 years ago sort of coincides with his dip in form since then.

**heretoday** · 03-07-2015 01:12 PM

I want Andy to win strongly but just in case I have Wawrinka at 12/1 to win Wimbledon. He's doing ok.

***McSwanky*** · 03-07-2015 01:48 PM

Raonic in trouble in the "battle of the pretentious sleeves" over on court 2....

***PatHead*** · 03-07-2015 02:23 PM

Couple of seeds fallen today - Raonic who I thought might be a threat and Dimitrov.

This half opening up for Djokavic.

I'm not overly surprised that Gasquet beat Dimitrov as Gasquet is a decent grass court player. However Kyrgios beating Raonic is a bit of a shock.

If Djokovic doesn't get to the final there's something wrong.

**Pretty Boy** · 03-07-2015 05:26 PM

Heather Watson takes the 2nd set against Serena Williams.

She's played absolutely brilliant stuff in the 2nd set, trading blows with Williams and often coming out on top.

**Pretty Boy** · 03-07-2015 05:31 PM

And breaks the 1st game in the 3rd. Atmosphere is amazing.

What a chance she has now.

**Pretty Boy** · 03-07-2015 05:41 PM

Breaks again after 2 consecutive double faults by Williams. 3 games up in the 3rd.

This is one of the best sporting performances by a Brit in a long time, she's won 5 games in a row against a player nigh on unbeatable for a year and a bit.

Venus waiting in the next round as it stands.

***BroxburnHibee*** · 03-07-2015 05:42 PM

You have to imagine Serena is gonna get her act together

**Sir David Gray** · 03-07-2015 05:42 PM

Wish I could watch this, still haven't got the tennis in my hotel.

Watson goes two breaks up in the final set, 3-0.

This would be a huge win for her.

**~~Sergey~~** · 03-07-2015 05:46 PM

This is f'in brilliant stuff.

Really really good from Heather Watson, but she needs to sort out that first serve. The stats can't be good on that. She could make it so much easier on herself if she got that sorted.

Some of Williams shots are awful. Her head is in a mess and for once she's letting the crowd get to her.
