2016 Wimbledon Championships Day 5: Friday, July 1 - Order of Play

[lob]

It almost seems like Djokovic will win the tournament if he wins the next three sets. This is all he needed to get back his focus. I am betting on him to do that. The rest of the match is about nerves. Statistically speaking Querrey has a very good chance here. But does he have the confidence to pull it off? I don't think so. But good luck to him. May be he can draw some inspiration from the fact that he is fighting for a right to play on July 4.

Stage 1. Novak is going to start with "ok baby time for fun and games is up. now to business.". if Sam gets past that hurdle and say goes up a break or gets into a tiebreak then stage 2. Novak will growl "over my dead body".

That is a IF

Sam overcame Rosol in a tough 5 setter in the opening match (on which many projected him to lose) and so is riding on a high. I know Novak is no Rosol. However, Sam lost just 4 points on serve against the best returner in the world in the first set (possibly even less in the second set). That shows that Novak either had trouble reading Sam's serves or in handling it after reading it. Either way, if that is maintained Sam will surely win this.

Sam had a better chance if he had been on CC and they were able to finish! Why Roger was on at the same time under the roof is still unfathomable to me! More a practice match! :cover :nono :eyepop

When Kyrgios and Brown were playing very slowly at one point during the match today
fans started grunting on behalf of the players . :laydownlaughing

Back in the day, the serve and maybe overheads elicited grunting of any kind! The Williams' grunt on drop shots! It's so very ridiculous and I thought the rules were to grandfather in silence to the new players because these people are doing it on purpose! If you tell them to quiet down; they do! :nono :angel:

The rain has helped Novak a lot, otherwise Querrey would have won the match. We'll see tomorrow if the Becker's advice will work enough good for Novak.....but if Querrey would play so well like today I doubt Novak can win

Come on, Querrey has not lost the match yet.

What a great result for DelPo! I love that guy. I always wanted him to sneak in there and win another slam.

agree with you great win for the tower of Tandil, hope he can qualify for 2nd week
