2022 Wimbledon

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 07:55 PM

What a game for Williams to break serve!

Almost a 20 minute game and Williams leads 2-0 second set.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 08:02 PM

Williams saves break points to back up the break, 3-0.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 08:09 PM

Williams running away with this set, double break and now leads 4-0.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 08:23 PM

GB watch;

Paul Jubb took Nick Kyrgios to five sets this afternoon but the Australian had just a bit too much for the player ranked 219 in the world.

Jay Clarke lost in straight sets to Christian Harrison.

Jack Draper won in straight sets against Zizou Bergs.

Alastair Gray probably had one of the best wins of the first round by beating Chun Hsin Tseng who is ranked almost 200 places above him.

Liam Broady won in five sets v Lukas Klein.

Dan Evans had a very disappointing defeat to Jason Kubler in straight sets.

Katie Swan lost in three sets to Marta Kostyuk.

Sonay Kartal lost in three sets to Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove.

Heather Watson won in three sets v Tamara Korpatsch.

Katie Boulter won in straight sets v Clara Burel.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 08:23 PM

Williams won the second set 6-1.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 08:34 PM

Another top seed has gone today as sixth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime lost to Maxime Cressy in four sets.

Cressy is obviously decent on grass as he reached the final of Eastbourne last week but this is still a pretty big shock as Auger-Aliassime got to the quarter finals of Wimbledon last year.

Come on Tan.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 08:49 PM

Williams had an early break in the final set but Tan's just broken back - 3-3.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 09:00 PM

What a shot from Williams.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 09:03 PM

Williams breaks to lead 5-4 and will serve for the match.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 09:08 PM

Tan breaks back, 5-5.

This is some match!

***Hiber-nation*** · 28-06-2022 09:09 PM

Tan can play some superb drop shots. What a game!

***Jones28*** · 28-06-2022 09:14 PM

Come on Harmony! Brilliant match.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 09:21 PM

Williams saves a match point - 6-6!

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 09:22 PM

Such a shame that Wimbledon now has a championship tiebreak in the final set.

**Sir David Gray** · 28-06-2022 09:35 PM

Tan wins 7-5 1-6 7-6

I'm not always a massive fan of women's tennis but that was such an enjoyable match.

Think he might be struggling this year!

I highly recommend Wimbledon to anyone with even a slight interest in tennis, the first time I entered Centre Court was one of the best things I've ever experienced. Such an iconic place and I absolutely love the tournament.

Never been during the tournament unfortunately but have done the guided tour. Absolutely brilliant, includes getting into centre court. The museum is also worth a visit. Something worth considering if you're visiting London.

Classic Wimbledon really.

Shame the commentary was so bad with talking over the serves in some cases. Martina is a pain in the neck!

Watched the first set and the commentary was bizarre especially Martina who gave Tan no credit and all her comments were on the premise of how amazing Serena was despite being outplayed on many points by a much less experienced opponent.

Kyrgios admits spitting towards 'disrespectful' spectator.

Got to disagree. I think it adds something and in its longer form there's plenty of time for ebb and flow. Plus we might all be glad of it if Isner goes long in the tournament.

Come on Tan.

Tan's peed off her doubles partner by dropping out to focus on her singles, quite an outburst on Insta;

Unfortunately my Doubles Partner H. Tan retired from our doubles today. She just texted me this morning. Let me wait here 1 hour before the match start. I'm very sad, disappointed and also very angry that I can't play my 1st Doubles Grand Slam. And It's really not fair for me😒 I did'nt deserve that. She asked me before the tournament if we wanna play doubles and I said yes, I did'nt ask her, she asked me! If you're broken after a 3h Match the day before, you can't play professional. That's my opinion.

That seems a bit dramatic Tan has just beaten a huge legend in the game the game finishing after 10. Every chance she would have had physical impact of that. Think the doubles player needs to wind her neck in. Ridiculous rant imo.

**JeMeSouviens** · 29-06-2022 04:34 PM

Raducanu oot. Straight sets.

**Sir David Gray** · 29-06-2022 04:34 PM

Raducanu out in straight sets.

Can't really say I'm too surprised to be honest, she's had a pretty awful time since winning the US Open last year.

Definitely a player in there though. Just needs to get used to life on the tour and learn to adjust to all the wee niggles that go with it. Oh, and maybe settle on a coach.

Much prefer the longer format in the final set, a tiebreak kind of spoils it a bit for me.

Isner-Mahut was obviously an extreme case although as someone who was down at Wimbledon that year it was a match which will live long in everyone's memory and I think it's a shame that the tiebreak has been introduced.

There was a change made a couple of years ago when it was changed to a tiebreak at 12-12 and I think that was a good compromise if they didn't want it to potentially go on to 70-6!
