Hair Dude through in 5 sets
Bad luck Bublik an entertaining match

QF Dude, it's where he usually hits the wall on slams. I really wanted Bublik to win, it would be more fun to see him against Novak.

Sweet! Rublev through. If I had my hands on the string of fate and could gift a random player with a Slam title, it might be Rublev.

Sinner’s taken a few tumbles during the match. The most recent looked as though it hurt. Not sure why so frequent.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Big mistake from Bublik with decision to not chase the ball.

Indeed

You may be better served to use the string to tie him off from crazy… the place he too often likes to go during a match.

I will now go and watch his match more closely,

LOL. You and I mentioned the dangers pre-tourney and look at what happened. Foe/Zed sent home in straights and yet Bublik is still here wreaking havoc w/ hair dude on CC

I don’t get the praise for Tiafoe. I like him but he has his obvious limits at this level…

It is a desperate attempt for America to feel relevant again in any context, given the unerring not-so-slow collapse of our empire.

On paper, Rune has an easier match against either Tiafoe or Dimitrov, but he still is inefficient in terms of completing matches. He might win, but it will be like a very tight 5 set match.

Is that really a thing with a player who just turned twenty? We have exactly one Slam where he appeared to run out of gas because of a previous long match, but that IMO hardly counts as statistically a track record for being “inefficient”.

If anything, someone that young is usually still trying to learn the ropes of being a tour regular.

I get that Americans are desperate for a champ, but he’s obviously not that. Someday soon your prince will come!

Grigor got it done without breaking sweat. Could be an interesting match between him and young Holger. Holger can be stubborn - but is he ambitious?

I think people sorta knew Francis winning a warm-up event was the curse of death! No way was he going to do anything significant at Wimble.!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sinner needs more work on his volley's he has improved, though at times he drops his racket head, an area where he and Cahill need to work on

He’s a small town player with a big heart but he’s not got the game or mentality to win slams. This isn’t a put down, I think he’s great but we have to be realistic too..

Tiafoe’s game has some glaring weaknesses, I doubt the warm up win had anything to do with his being schooled by Dimitrov.

Korda and Shelton have more upside imo, though I'm guessing both max out as 2nd tier types.

Channeling Front242, wonder what the odds would have been placing a pre-tournament bet that Eubanks would have had the best results out of all the Americans?

You would have made a killing! ; )

Sinner through to his 2nd QF at Wimbledon in a solid 3 set win over Galan
Well done Jannik, smile on the face of Darren Cahill
Jannik will play Safiulin on Tuesday for a place in his first SF at Wimbledon

@Front242 probably did, he’s a useful gambler, I think..

I guess they'll be featuring Swiatek finishing up and Novak's match on ABC shortly! Going to Channel 7 in 15 minutes!
