Fabulous day at the championships yesterday. The Centre Court patrons certainly got their money's worth.

Congrats to Jo Konta and Heather Watson.

I like Heather Watson. Really positive bubbly demeanour.

Me too.

The next round against Vika promises to be Friday's popcorn match.
I give Heather half a chance if she can win the first set.

Live around the grounds on Thursday:

BMS was taken out in stretchers on Ambulance due to an injury caused by a fall when rushing to the net. It appears doubtful that she can play in doubles now. Her partner Lucie Safarova is heartbroken considering they were going for NCYGS at this Wimbledon.

But, then I don't know what is the diagnosis.

Report just in from the Guardian Newspaper,London.BMS knee buckled and has been taken to hospital,horrific scenes on court when she screamed out 'help me'.

 

[Carol]

Poor girl, you can tell how much she was in pain

Yes Carol it was horrible to watch

 

[tossip]

wow that fall is something....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kerber was tested in her match against Flipkens who can play well on grass,was broken when serving for the match,finally won 75 75.

Yes Carol it was horrible to watch

Hello Margaret, I'm glad to see you again, VAMOS!!!!!!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hello Margaret, I'm glad to see you again, VAMOS!!!!!!

Thanks Carol....still over the moon with Rafa winning his 10th title at Roland Garos,of course I picked the wrong year not to attend

And now Lucie is in trouble in singles. Down 5-2 in the decider to Rogers.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

BMS and LS won their first match. But, they have now given a walkover to their second round opponents due to the injury of BMS. So, No NCYGS for them. Hope, this is not a career ending injury for BMS though.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Lucie is out,though under the circumstances of her doubles partner Bethanie with that horrible fall earlier,it would be hard to concentrate fully on her match.Bad luck Lucie.

Well, at least you like me we were able to see through the TV that incredible final, what a super game by him, it's impossible to play better

Not losing a set all tournament,I was there in 2008 where he did exactly the same thing all final where he smacked Federer off the court....great memories.

How are you seeing him now on grass? I think he is doing well and most his volleys but he can do better. He is healthy and confident which is the most important

I think he did the right thing resting after RG,if he can get into the 2nd week I think he has a good chance,I am taking it match by match,I feel his serve is better,he is also playing more aggressive,good sign on grass.
