Kerbie escapes the upset from the WC 6-4 in the decider

I was just thinking, man does she deserve to be all the way out on court 12...I guess so if the struggle is real with a WC player

That was kind of a slap in the face to a 2 time slam champ and former #1. But she hung tight anyway

My favorite little firecracker will probably go down. Hopefully she's at Cincy for me to drool over

She takes the opener 6-3 over Konta

Hats off to Liu for putting up a fight though.

BTW, she is not a WC. She is a qualified. She got WC into quals by virtue of being Girl's champ of last year.

So she's a WCQ? WC qualifier

Don't be fooled by court numbers. After Center court and courts #1, #2 and #3, court #12 is the next best show court and court #18 is the next best one.

Interesting! One of these days I'll make it out to Wimbeldon

Konta and Makarova should go halfsies on a sports psychologist.

The Sharapova slayers moves in straights.

The Sharapova slayers moves in straights.

That was a good follow up. But, defeating Sharapova in a match that went to three sets and in which she came back up from 2-5 down and that went beyond three hours is simply a great achievement, especially considering this is her first main draw match at Wimbledon.

It's a slap in the face when you think about who was on the other show courts. Look at Court 3 for example. No one on this court has a better resume than Kerbie. Wawa was completing his match from yesterday.

Same thing on Court 2 w/ the exception of Mugu & Novak

Come on, there are valid reasons. Genie is blue eyed blonde and Katie is a British girl.

And contrary to what Woz believes, Maka does move on to R16 in 3 sets over Lucie.

Giorgi comes back from a set and a break down to win her match 3-6 7-6(6) 6-2. Siniakova was in tears after losing that TB.

I like Giorgi, hope she can make it far.
