    Apparently some of it was a jigsaw, going to take them ages to put that back together so they can move it.

    Thompson was marked as a potential banana skin for Djokovic by the commentators as they came on court .. hasn't turned out that way so far though

    He's played really well and would definitely be in a match against anyone else.

    Djokovic is proving himself to be far too good for the rest of the field though. Bloke isn't human.

    Djokovic wins 6-3 7-6 7-5. Looks ominous if someone can play that well and still lose straight sets honestly.

    Thiem/Tsitsipas has gone to a fifth set tiebreak. First to 10 wins.

    A big threat in Norrie/Murray section of the draw, Seb Korda has been knocked out.

    Korda got to the Queens semi final, beating Norrie along the way.

    Murray showed the difference in level between him and Peniston today, as it wasn't as if Peniston froze. Murray simply had a lot more shots to his game.
    So what you're saying is that Murray was the bigger man, & his opponent never really grew into the game.


    Sorry!

    Massive result for Liam Broady who defeats fourth seed Casper Ruud in five sets.

    Ruud always does badly on grass.

    Wawribka v Djokovic would have been a great match 5 years ago.

    Katie Boulter into the third round where she’ll play defending champ Rybakina or Alize Cornet.

    Cornet is a good player, knocked out Swiatek last summer.

    Furthest Wawrinka has got in a slam since 2020. Only playing for the love of the game to be honest, he's nearly 40 and he doesn't need the money.

    Hopefully he can roll back the years and dump Djokovic out.

    9th seed Taylor Fritz knocked out by Mikael Ymer. Fritz had a two set lead.

    Big 5 with Andy Murray.
    TBF there was a big 3 and Andy and Stan the man were the best of the rest when you count up slams.

    Liam Brody is the quintessential Journey man tennis player that is around 150 in the world and at 29 is playing his best tennis since he was a junior. No big shots but a super fit hustler.

    Really annoys me the 1.30 centre court start. If I had a ticket today I would be thinking only 2-3 sets of the Murray match. 

    On centre on Monday, hopefully an early start given the backlog.

    Yeah was only joking - of course Murray is up there. Just feel Stan’s grand slam wins are often overlooked. 

    FWIW I think Murray is one of our greatest ever sportsman.

    The net looks low in the middle? Is it me?
