    Federer's match is an embarrassment.

    Donna Vekic and Camilla Georgi are my new favourite tennis players.

    All top 10 women's seeds are out already.

    Opened up very nicely for Serena.

    Hard to see past a Serena win. Kerber probably most likely to challenge but Bertens is playing well, has beaten Wozniacki and Pliskova.

    Tennis failed dismally to attract headlines away from the football. 7 of the women's matches were won in straight sets, and no close matches in the men's either

    I love watching tennis all year round but it's lacking an edge this year. Is it because of no Andy Murray or that all the top women players are losing so they don't face Serena Williams ?

    The football did affect the first week and now it needs a good 5 setter to bring the championships alive.

    Federer has not dropped at set at Wimbleson since losing to Raonic in the Semi Final in 2016.

    If Federer beats Anderson in the Quarter Final on Wednesday he is likely to face Raonic in Fridays Semi(If Raonic beats Isner)

    You have good taste Red.

    Donna Vekic is Stan Wawrinka favourite tennis player.

    Isn't that normally not issued until the end of the previous day, i.e. this evening?

    Yeah that's probably the case, just trying to sort out my afternoon tomorrow before the England match.

    Djokovic now looking really good, but the shock news is that Federer has actually lost a set!

    This could go on for a while at this rate. Don't think many people will be watching Raonic & Isner afterwards.
