They're not showing Nadal at all...trying to get me to cough up $ for ESPN+, even though they let me watch Fed for free today. (How do they know? Lol.) After a slow start, he seems to have righted the ship well enough.


Can you get Spanish feed ESPN3....anyway Rafa serving for the match.I just got back in from work and I have it on my fox sports.

Nothing is as sweet as won money. But you’re right, the bank takes it all in the end.
Definitely. We're very happy when we get small wins, however, when we think about the amount book-makers take in each day minus pay-outs, petty cash & bills, etc. they make a killing. If regular betters think about how much they spend before they get a win & how much they spend compared to how much they win I guess most are down rather than up & by a long way when all added together over a year.

I can't really say anything though. I used to have the odd, small, each way bet on horse-racing. I never bet to win or did anything extravagant like put on an accumulator though. (Accumulators are good if you get them right as you can win a lot of money but you can also lose a lot.)

Crazy Kyrgios survives to play Nadal in the second round. For Fed fans, that’s one of the most compelling matches of the tournament.

Someone has to serve the queen's justice. I doubt it will be Nick though.

Kyrgios is a clown, but if he plays well he wins. Against Thompson, he was playing to the gallery, at times even singing between points. He did the underhand serve at 40-15, while serving for the set, and ended up dropping serve. In the 5th, he was sublime and people were wondering why he did not play like that earlier in the match. He could be a comedian professionally, and earn more than he will earn as a tennis player.

Expect the underhand serve on Thursday.

Can assure everyone Nick will have his 'tennis face' on when he plays Rafa,not a lot love between either player,Nick knows he can defeat Rafa,especially early on grass in a tournament....if he goes on like he did today he will lose.Of course I hope he does,I have no more patience with his tantrums or clowning around on court.

He's old but he ain't 95 or whatever Lizzy is. Roger is king of England :)

It was tight, though, and I give Tiafoe props for holding his own.

Roger is the King of Wimbledon, for sure, though not the King of England. So what is this "queen's justice" that we're in need of? I guess that makes you the queen. :p

Today he may have held his own, but lately he hasn't done too well. He is slipping backwards in ranking, not the trend you hope at 21. He takes turns with Fritz it seems.
