Wimbledon 2019

[Sir David Gray]

Entertaining match on right now between Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios.

Nadal won the first set 6-3 but Kyrgios has responded well and is currently 3-1 up in the second set.

Things are never dull with Kyrgios and so far we've had a 143 mph second serve, an underarm serve and some brilliant shot making. The guy is extremely talented but unfortunately it wouldn't be Kyrgios if we didn't get some of the other stuff as well. We've also had expletive filled rants and numerous exchanges with Nadal and complaints to the umpire.

Kyrgios has the talent to go far in the game but his attitude lets him down so often and will continue to be his downfall unless he sorts that out.

Great watch, 100% behind Kyrgios regarding Nadal's length of time to serve.
Mon the bad boy.

He has a point, just like he had a point when complaining about losing the point when he failed to return a Nadal serve that was initially called out but was actually in (the point should have been replayed).

He goes about it in totally the wrong way though.

However there's no denying that he's box office.

Andy Murray's just starting his men's doubles match on Court One.

I didn't mind the guy until I watched his interview a wee while ago. Didn't come over well.

He does actually seem to acknowledge his shortcomings, he admits he doesn't train enough and isn't as professional as guys like Nadal. He was seen in a Wimbledon pub at 11pm last night for example.

The guy is a real talent, some of the shots he pulls off are ridiculous but he lacks a winning attitude.

[Sylar]

He might have talents, but I really can't stand him. Aiming a ball at a fellow professional isn't on IMO.

The umpire should have dealt with him with a little more authority - he did have a point in some of his ire, but you can't behave like that. Not at the top level of the game.

Federer looked comfortable earlier (second set aside), Nadal pulled off some imperious shots again...Djokovic on court again tomorrow. It's all getting a bit tasty

Saturday's game between Nadal and Tsonga could be a great match, and a real chance for Dan Evans to progress against Joao Sousa.

[weecounty hibby]

Outplayed by a very good doubles pairing. Good match to watch. Will be interested to see how he gets on with Serena Williams.

Easy victory tonight for them in the mixed doubles.

Dan Evans has just lost in 5 sets to Joao Sousa despite having chances in every set. He will be gutted.

[Golden Bear]

Well that was fantastic viewing. Evans gave it everything but it still wasn't quite good enough. Both players fitness was unbelievable. In fact tennis players as athletes must be fitter than anyone apart from maybe athletes themselves!

[Zazu62]

Wimbledon without Andy Murray tearing it up in the singles competition isn’t very good eh? Don’t even bother watching it

[hibeg]

Jo Konta going well. Expect her to win tomorrow and set up semi final v Serena. Winner of this match will be champion imo. Really hope Konta can do it

Konta hammered today in the second set after a tight opener to go out in straight sets.

Really disappointing result.

That must have been the worst she has played all season. Her usually excellent serve deserted her and ridiculous amount of unforced errors. She must be gutted as she should have had a great chance to win Wimbledon.

Dont think she ever will unfortunately. A little under world class and lacking the bottle required by the greats.

The Czech girl was very quick about the court. Genuine type too.

[G B Young]

Been good to see Andy Murray building up his fitness in the doubles events at Wimbledon and it was brilliant to see him winning the Queens doubles title a couple of weeks back. If he feels the strain on his hip will be too much for a return to singles then he could certainly shine on the doubles court for the final few years of his career. His mum has always said she thought he and Jamie would team up at some stage which would be great. Their Davis Cup matches together were always great to watch and they'd be a hugely popular pairing.

[yonder1875]

Strongly fancy Rafa to win today, should be some match - both have been brilliant so far.

He's slight favourite, but I'm sticking with The Fed on grass.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Men's semi-final day. Quite comfortable dor Djokovic in the end, though he was pushed for a while at one set all.

Really looking forward to this Federer-Nadal match.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Suprised to learn that Nadal leads Federer 10-3 in Grand Slam head to heads. Six of them have come at the French Open of course, where Nadal leads 6-0, but the Spaniard also leads Federer 3-1 on cement.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Magnificent first set goes to Federer on tie-break. It's living up to expectations.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Amazing standard so far.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Good of them to finish just in time for The Jambo kick off! ☺

Great tennis match. We won't have these guys around too much longer, sadly.

I fancy Novak in the final. He'll wear down Fed in these endless rallies.

I think Fed needs to get ahead. Djokovic wobbled under pressure today, and Federer needs to be in a position to turn the screw. Rodger to win!

I fancy him as well but the one thing that's for sure is that the majority of the crowd will be behind Federer and Djokovic doesn't like it when the crowd's against him, he's fairly thin skinned at times so that may get under his skin which may help Federer.

Should be a cracker hopefully.

[Diclonius]

I suspect it isn't just me that's a wee bit jealous that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic - who have already won an exhaustive number of titles - seem to be almost superhuman in their ability to play seemingly forever without an ability-limiting injury, while our once-in-a-century player gets one at almost the exact moment he hits his peak (through no fault of his own, I might add). It's sickening.

Why are there so many members of the armed forces around at Wimbledon?
Are they expecting the mob to rise up and attack the royal box?
Dashed sinister I call it.
