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

[Carol]

Unreal. Hate to hear that.

Me too, I'm trying to find out why is the reason for the divorce but Feli is keeping very quiet though he is asking for the divorce. She is talking more about it in some interviews but she doesn't say too much either, just that she is very hurted and never expected that

so I was only slightly wrong about Marcus willis (rank 770s)..getting through his 3rd qualifier and hoping for Djokovic on center court in rd 1,

he got mr whoeveritwas in rd 1..but has to make do with mr 148grasscourt wins/7x wimby champ Federer on center court instead.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

I watched Federer's first two sets, seemed in decent shape, i'm pretty sure pella was playing way above his usual level, he didn't seem nervous and only lost the plot on the tiebreaks, he was playing way better than someone rank 55th in charts.

the ivo karlovic nightmare scared off borna coric in straights..

inc the usual barrage of Pythagoras bothering weird angled steepling ace's and the usual 2 tb sets.

I hated to, but picked Karlovic to win that match in my draw challenge. This is Karlovic's time of the year. Probably a good lesson for Coric that a ROS is a valuable weapon.

No love for Dr Ivo? Poor guy!

I am still catching up with the action from today, but looks like Ward had a nice time on CC and sets 2 and 3 were very competitive.

Sorry for Kohli and Gael, I expected them to go a few rounds in the draw.

The only men's match tomorrow on Centre court is Liam Broady vs Andy Murray. Taylor Fritz takes on Stan Wawrinka on Court #1. The other 4 matches are ladies'.

Court 2 is the place to be tomorrow: Nick takes on the old man Steps and Nando takes on the bad boy Tomic. Richie vs Bedene and later on Dominic takes on Mayer on Court 3. That should be interesting as Mayer beat him a week or so ago on grass.

Court 12 will host Cervantes vs Tsonga and Robert vs Delpo.

Court 18 has Dodig vs Berdych and Isner vs Baghdatis.

Pierre Hugues Herbert is one of the top doubles players in the world pairing with Mahut. He has a good serve and nice volley. Still an upset, but not as much if you know how the young man plays. One would guess Kohli might be a little tired too.

Thanks! I knew I knew of him, but there's a few French men that are kind of new to the singles scene and are doing pretty well. It's just that I couldn't be 100% that the face that I came up with was him. Has there ever been a French person who played boring tennis? I can't think of one.
