Well Nick K has yet to dodge a bullet like Roger Federer earlier....he is still lucky to be in the tournament and he knows it!!!
I cannot see Roger advancing much further he was tentative and below par.
People in Glass Houses should not throw stones towards Nick
Look after your own player !!!!!!!!!!!

This is totally unwarranted. A legitimate comment about Nick has nothing to do with Fed.

A couple of thoughts about undercard results today:

Deliciano went down in straights, as @kskate2 pointed out, but to Dan Evans, who I suggested might be an issue this year.
Schwartzman defeated the reviled Paire in 3, who went down bageled in the 3rd. Lack of effort? (No idea, didn't see the match.)
Took Shapo 5 sets to take out Kohlschreiber.
Andújar beat Herbert in 5. That's a bit of a surprise.

Agree with all.

As I can see only the scores I can't believe Fed struggled so much against Manarrino. I have him going to the QF and losing to Medvedev, but hard to see him reach 2nd week if he plays badly as people say.

Margaret mentioned Fed is scheduled for other courts for next few rounds, not centre court?? I am surprised they don't give him centre court, my impression was he has a lifetime rent there including all other slams.

I am glad to see Medvedev win against Struff. The german was a tough opponent for the first round. So good win for Med, unlike Tsitsipas who just didn't show up at all.

Wimbledon organizers will never make such an announcement. They will announce the schedule of the next day the previous evening.

She is trying to annoy Feddies; but no one took the bait.

Considering that Fed may lose in any match, they will actually put him in center court for each match until he actually loses (talk about the advantages of being in terrible form),

Do not listen to GSM he has Federer sunglasses. on..I am not baiting Federer fans I got that information from a tennis journalist who put that information on Twitter regarding the scheduling for Novak and Federer.

Can Frances Tiafoe continue his winning way against Pospisil
Interested to see how Aussie youngster Alexi Popyrin plays against Nishikori
Hopefully Nick K can win his match against Ugo.

Pospisil is one who seems to come back from the dead to play dangerous tennis, once in a while, and he's been back to playing well again. I'd watch out for him. He's a great doubles player, and so can be especially dangerous on grass.

Too much pressure from the television networks and tennis public to not have Roger on Centre Court even if it's a choice between him or Novak. Roger, the Williams Sisters and Nadal are the game if tennis biggest "draw" EVER and the organizers are going to try to milk that "cash cow" for every drop they can .

It maybe very interesting if Kevin just focus on holding his own service and able to pressure Novak's serve.

Great Nick has had a bad fall at the back of the baseline,landed awkardly......Have I mentioned I hate these slippery grass courts,players should be wearing 'ice skates' instead of shoes.
This is a good quality tennis from both players,shame it had to be a first rd match for either player.
Nick did have 3BPs....Hugo saved 2BPs
Nick breaks with a good fh return and will serve for the match in the 5th set 8-7
