No, but I heard them say that Alcaraz had 30 aces today, beating his on PR of 12 or something. That kid does learn fast.

Yes he did 30 Aces today

My joint choke award in the 1st round goes to Foki and Hubi?
I did say before Wimbledon started I wonder if Hubi could go further than his s/final match last year
He did and went out in his first match!

Moxie The Kid looked like he had roller skates on during his match, he had a fall, his coach needs him to practice taking small steps, not long strides on the grass

Fair point. Foki could have been off the court in 3. Then Hubi was leading like 6-3 or so in the final set TB? I saw very little of the match, so don't know what happened to Hubie in the first 2, but given expectations, I'd give the nod to Hubert for greater choke. Foki is still learning on the job, rather like Charlie Alcaraz. And his big wins have come on hards, so great for him to pull this one out. It would have been a long night of the soul if he'd lost in 5.

Rain delay helped Hubi, then he found his game again and in the t/break went AWOL when it mattered? good luck to Foki he never seems to give up

BTW there was no way Marin Cilic could hope to play, after self isolating he said he felt very sick, testing positive to COVID is an instant withdrawal, I hope he can recover okay

 

[Nadalfan2013]

What are the current rules with Covid at Wimbledon right now? Does the tournament test players randomly or regularly? or is it up to each player to notify the tournament if they are feeling sick or are Covid positive (which could make some players not declare themselves if they are feeling okay to play)?

I also read that Cilic practiced with Djokovic a few days ago.

Not sure though apparently from a poster that is from the UK said today there is wide spread COVID everywhere especially in London
I did suggest Novak get a test for COVID to make sure
Rafa was supposed to practice with Cilic on CC, then Berrettini stepped in

Noting on the draw challenge current standings, @don_fabio is soaring above the rest of us. If you discount the people that we don't even know, which is most of them, he is #1. Even given them, he is #2.

Yeah but if it's up to Novak to decide what he does with the Cilic info then I'm sure he will not do anything, especially if he has no symptoms. But if the tournament asks Cilic who were his contacts and they have the power to test the other players then Djokovic will have no choice.

Well I know being a player you dont have to be vaccinated at Wimbledon this year, the reason that Novak could play.I went to the website though nothing about testing players for COVID.I take your point if the officials ask Cilic who were his close contacts, then he would have to say Novak

I spoke to Don earlier today one of my favorite posters at TF

I find it very difficult to find the covid testing rules for players at Wimbledon, as Margaret notes above. They may or may not be doing regular testing, or contact tracing, but it would be shocking if they are doing neither.

Nick K feeling confident about his Wimbledon chances,

"I just know if I'm serving well and I'm playing well, I can beat anyone.I have pretty much beaten everyone in the draw before".

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Of course I just learnt today that Davidovich Fokina was the Boys Singles champion at Wimbledon in 2017!

Well done to first time grass court winners at Wimbledon, Sinner, Ruud and Tommy Paul.

After beating James Duckworth, Andy Murray said he had a abdominal scan on Saturday and came back completely clear so the injury is healed.

Berrettini has to withdraw because he tested positive. This kills me for him.

That's a darn shame.
