AP,

Just finished watching Coco v Amanda match,

Amanda was targeting Coco's fhand wing, which is her weaker side, in her previous match it stood up well, Amanda is a very flat hitter of the ball, she hits with power, broke Coco's serve many times in the match.
Coco at times to me arrives late on her fhand wing, especially on faster surfaces,to me her fhand is not technically sound.It is an area a coach I feel can fix, Coco is young and has time on her side as well to improve her fhand.
Coco is playing mixed doubles with Jack Sock and they won their first rd match today.

Oh well my tip for the 'dark horse' at Wimbledon this year, Caroline Garcia didnt last long lol!
Czech player Bouzkova defeated Caroline 75 62. Garcia played far too aggressive and made too many UFE in the match.
BTW Bouzkova became the first player to make the quarter finals.Bouzkova played a flawless match with just 4 UFE all match

1 set all between Ostapenko (12) v Maria, going into a 3rd and final set now.
Maria was serving for the match at 5-4 broken, back on serve 5 games all final set
2nd time lucky for Maria as she breaks Ostapenko and will try and serve for the match for a 2nd time 6-5
Well done to Maria, age 34, a mum, ranked 103 defeats the No 12 seed Ostapenko 57 75 75 to move into the q/finals!

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jabeur with her toughest test to date defeats Mertens in 2 tough sets of tennis 76(9) 64!
Ons has reached her first quarter final at Wimbledon and will play Marie Bouzkova.

What a good match between two tricky players - best match of the day (according to reporter) Ons Jabeur shows her rising qualities on grass and wins a really exciting match against Elise Mertens both are slice queens and good at the net.

I was sad watching Jamie throwing the match away,he wanted that British to win on purpose.He didn't want to win.

Jack Sock is a very good doubles player especially on grass.

Rybakina is a dark horse,she is quietly going through the draw.I won't be surprised to see her holding that rosewater dish.

Rybakina can play on the grass, I am quite surprised that Martic got this far.
