2019 Men's Wimbledon Championships

FAA vs. Moutet would be far from straight forward. I actually expect that match to go to five sets.

I also think it won't be finished in straight sets, but looking at how @Moxie nailed the R1 in a draw challenge sitting on top now, he might know more than us here. I feel like one of those servants in Downton Abbey low in the ladder and Moxie is that Mr. Carson.

This Wimbledon radio is priceless when they report on who is training where and with who. At the moment Kyrgios is in the middle court of the 3 in a row and on other 2 courts there are Nadal and Djokovic. Nick is in the sandwich hitting some balls with Suarez Navarro

Goffin plays quite well. He did a thorough preparation for Wimby, with a 7-2 match record on grass.

I am watching Medvedev Popyrin match. TB now.

That match unfortunately is not captured by any of my channels. I was going to watch that otherwise.

Popyrin was very solid in the tie break, didn't give away any cheap points and was more agressive. His net play looks great, he is winning a lot of points by coming forward. Great serve, huge forehand. Medvedev will have to dig deep to win this one. Aussie has the crowd support too.

Wawrinka was doing well against Opelka, from what radio guys say he decoded Opelka's serve, had 3 bps in 2 games beginning of 4th set, Opelka hanged in there and took it to a decider when Stan served to stay in the set.

Milos takes the first set in a TB.

Stan gave up the ghost. Not quite back to Stanimal level (may never be again).

Yap, he doesn't take some chances and then he cracks later. Same was in Queens.

Fabbiano up 2 sets to 1 on Dr. Ivo. Could he kick out the Goliath?

Doctor took it to 5th He was down 0:3 in tb, but only 1 mini break. He did his routine, won 2tbs and is now in 5th set. He could play 5 years more like this, it must be his secret plan.

I love this post, but if you look at my draw, I'm about to start sinking like a stone.

Yeah too much of Zverev and Stan and Tsitsi and Thiem. Way too much for a chief butler. Same here unfortunately

Fabbiano lives on! Took out the big man in 5.

HE DID IT!!!!! Good for Fabbiano. He deserves it. Just his 4th trip to the 3rd round of a slam. But his second this year. First time he's done that. Tough loss for Karlovic. But just warrior like mentality from Fabbiano out here these first two rounds. Takes down a young titan and a literal titan, especially compared to Fabbiano's diminutive size.

Adds to what they say that conditions are even slower on outer courts. I wouldn't be surprised to see Pella beat Seppi. Even shortman is in a 2nd round and then tall claycourters like Garin and Jarry don't win a single match :scratch:

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Good job Milos. Crafty veterans like Haase can make life miserable on grass.

Raonic -Opelka though...Over/Under on the aces?

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Lopez cracks at the end of the second. 1 set all. Strong set from him. Was down on serve a couple times and just kept Lopez at bay. Bent but never broke. Just kept the pressure up and got a couple of errors from Lopez there at the end.

Roanic through.

And Edmund breaks late to take the second set. Tough day for Verdasco. Edmund dealing with the pressure of being the top British man well though. Verdasco good enough still to take advantage if Edmund had come out here nervous.
