Good point about the living surface @masterclass - easy to forget sometimes.

Good news is that there is play on the outer courts right now.

Evans beat the Dog and 'll meet the old Swiss tomorrow

Good match from Benneteau. Nishikori didn't manage to take his serve yet and the French leads 7-5 3-2

Not watching it Bert but was tempted to put a small punt on Benneteau because he was out at 7/1 - didn't in the end.... but he's a dangerous floater in the first week.

And an old-style 100 % serve-volley to come with Mahut vs. Herbert in the third round

I would be surprised if he wins Nishikori in a 5sets match after the few last months he had... he was not able to win a Challenger match few weeks ago

Kind of cruel to have the doubles partners facing off against each other.

 

[Carol]

If I had before not too much interest in this Wimbledon with the exit of Garbine I have much less now. Hope to see Muzz playing wth a good confidence and been more consistent which is the key of all the success and also Raonic and Zverev :scratch:

[britbox]

Sad to see Dominic Thiem leave the building, particularly to a background of losing three tie breakers...

Vesely has made quiet progress this year also and only 22 himself. Maybe he is destined to be more than just a journeyman. Has also beaten Djoker this year.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

thiem can have a proper week off before hitting the clay once again.

and sir grigor beat Gillian pushon.....................happy days.

 

[Carol]

Yep, everybody seems to forget Vesely ( I'm the first one ) but watching him today I remember that he can play well and to give more than one upset like he did before and also today
