    Watson wins, 7-6, 6-2!  

    Through to her first ever grand slam 4th round.
    She had just been broken in the 1st set when last looked, too much sport!

    I find it incredible when she has been about for so long thats the first time she has qualified for the 4th round of a major, always been one of our best ladies and has the game to go deeper hopefully.

    Watson is currently world no. 121 and her fourth round opponent is world no. 97.

    I don't think she'll ever get a better opportunity to reach a Wimbledon quarter final.

    She's always has a very tough 3rd round match before if I remember rightly.

    Edit: just looked, 3rd seed, 1st seed, Azarenka (protected ranking but prev Semi finalist).

    Really enjoy watching Watson play. Love the aggression she plays with. It costs her points sometimes of course but it’s entertaining.

    Nit a good day to be on Centre Court though, three very one sided matches.

    At least two British players, Norrie and Watson, make the second week! Hopefully tomorrow Boulter will make it three but Harmony Tan is a tough opponent as Serena Williams found out. I just hope it's 'after the Lord Mayor's show' for Tan and Boulter backed by a home crowd can win.

    It is if you've had a £1000 treble on them 3 games to be won in straight sets

    Yes this one. Thought it was excellent. Didn't really know her story and what she had to go through and what she did for women's tennis

    Katie Boulter thrashed in the first set of her match, hopefully she can come back in the second.

    Harmony Tan is a danger for anyone in this form, albeit Boulter was poor today.

    Broady 2 sets and a break down to De Minaur.

    Anisimova very impressive in that last set against Gauff.

    Broady match really enjoyable. Did himself proud, hopefully he can push on.

    Absolutely love watching Wimbledon.
    You can while away so many hours engrossed in the matches.
    Most evenings this week plus all of today and it helps you unwind and is so relaxing, much more so than watching Charlton.
    Tennis players are such incredible athletes, some of the best.

    Alize Cornet puts out top seed Iga Swiatek.

    Never thought Swiatek looked that comfortable on grass, even in the earlier rounds.

    Both French Open finalists out today with Gauff losing.

    Jabeur and Halep have looked the best so far in my opinion.

    Kyrgios was much the better player in the first set but missed a few break opportunities, and lost the tie break.

    The last service game from Kyrgios was like something you’ve never seen before.
    Serving before the ball boys/girls have stopped running. 
    Never waiting for Tsitispas to be ready.
    Raced into a 40-0 lead before nearly throwing it away.
    Constantly telling his team “I just don’t fucking care”.
    112mp second serve aces.

    Wins the second set.

    Very entertaining game this, for both the right and wrong reasons as per stackitsteve's post!

    Kyrgios gets defaulted for that, double standards

    Kyrgios demanding to see the Umpire's supervisor was pretty funny too.  He had a point though, Tsitsipas was lucky to get away with it.

    Umpire going to lose control here. Needed to dish out a few yellows early on to set the tone.  :D

    Tsitsipas should head butt the shit.

    "Where's my towel, where's my banana?"

    Bloke sung that on Britain's Got Talent didn't he?
