2016 Wimbledon Championships - Men (London Sidewalk Cafe Discussions II)

I'm guessing he's going to play on Sunday.

Wimbledon have decided to break with tradition and play the middle Sunday because of the rain delays. First time since 2004.

Wimbledon to have play on Sunday for first time in 12 years

Wimbledon will be open for play on Sunday as the tournament tries to catch up on a first week ruined by rain — but reigning champion Novak Djokovic could be out by then. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/te...s-rainfall-continues-disrupt-proceedings.html

I expect a good match between Feli and Kyrgios. I thought that Feli going through the divorce he wouldn't do too good but he seems very motived

 

[Tennis Fan]

Yep, Sam was very inspired making very good serve and shots but tomorrow is another day and maybe he couldn't be able to repeat that good game. But I said for long time that most of the players are not playing well and honesty I'd like to see better competition and more 'inspired' days like I saw the previous years

I agree, Carol. There's been a lull lately and a lot of players being on and off of the tour. The men's game has been inconsistent for a little while now.

I can't believe they finally did it again, but I'm happy. That Sunday of no tennis is horrible, especially when it's a rest day and you don't have anything planned, at least I don't.

Yeah, Feli plays well against Nick. I couldn't believe he came back against Fabio. I thought he was out, so I was pleased to see that he had moved on. He's doing very well considering the circumstances.

Question, I don't see Vesely playing tomorrow, what is going on with him?

Hm, you're right. I don't know. I didn't see anything, maybe he's on track, but if that's the case he should be playing tomorrow. I also forgot who he plays next.

I hope he is not injured or maybe he has two days off?

I looked at the draw and I'm more confused than ever. They have Vesely playing Joao Sousa of Portugal in the 3rd round. But, there's two players named Joao Sousa, one is from Portugal and I think the other one is from Argentina.

OK, I checked and Joao from Portugal is still in the draw and plays Vesely next round. For some reason the commentators aren't interested in Vesely, that might explain the silence.

This is why people love del Potro:

Del Potro: "I feel alive"
16:04

It's an amazing sensation for me at the moment. I beat one of the guys who's playing great tennis at the moment. I couldn't expect this victory today but I think I played much better afer the first set and I really enjoyed the crowd. I was so happy on court. After my third surgery I have been trying to play tennis again it's like my second or third career in my short life. I was really sad at home for the last two years, now I am enjoying all these things. And my hands shaking is a great sensation for me. I feel alive. I like to share moments with the crowd. They support me on every single point and that's why I keep fighting in every single set. I couldn't expect to be in the third round of Wimbledon I'm very excited to go far in the tournament.

I adore Delpo he's such a lovely guy, I'm really happy about this win

The other "João Souza" is from Brazil, but note that he is "SouZa", and not "SouSa" (though it is pronounced exactly the same).

Novak and Sam out on court warming up for the second episode.

 

[britbox]

Novak breaks!

 

[britbox]

Double break 4-0 for Djoker. Rain has just started coming down.

 

[britbox]

Back on and back off again... and back on. At least the sun has started shining.

Crowd seem pro-Querrey?

 

[britbox]

Huge hold for Sam after facing BPs... 2-1 SQ in the fourth.

 

[britbox]

Nole looking a bit rattled. 2 out of 13 Break Points converted... good news for Querrey is that he's keeping the fox from the chicken coup, bad news is that the Fox is circling every Querrey service game.

 

[HellsBells]

I watch more ladies tennis but this is great to watch,

Indeed HellsBells - great battle and that was a massive hold for the Djoker.
