So Ebony Smooth is sticking around London to play w/ her ex? Hmmm....

Vika not ready to say goodbye to Westminster Abbey, so she's playing w/ a Brit. Very interesting indeed.

Svito not ready to say farewell to strawberries & creme, so she's playing w/ doubs specialist Mahut. All very interesting indeed

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kokk and Barty lost.

Bryan and BMS won.

Sock and ES defeated Stosur and Inglot.

Svitolina and Mahut lost in the second round.

Bryan and BMS gave a walkover in the second round. Don't know what is the problem.

I saw Murray/Vika were down 5-3 in the decider and reeled off 4 straight games to win the match

Only in Wimbledon they play a real third set. In all other slams, they just use a super tie breaker (which I hate).

Any Americans left in the mixed?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Ebony Smooth and her former BF are still there.

That is the only American team left.

But, there are couple of more lesser known Americans in combo with others.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Azrenka and Jamie have reach SF. Likely to lift the trophy.

In Men's doubles Mike Bryan and Jack Sock have reached finals and likely to lift the trophy.

In Women's doubles, Siniakova and her partner are in SF and are the highest seeds left in the draw and so are likely to lift the trophy.

If ES/Sock play Vika's team they should be able to win that. Vika's serve is the liability on that team when you match it up against ES.

ES / Sock were eliminated in 3rd round by Soares and Makarova, who were since then eliminated by some other team.

I have never heard about this American Girl by name Melichar. She is in the finals of both ladies doubles and mixed doubles. Anyone know her?

I got two of three right. Vika and Jamie did not make it.

And it was the weakness I mentioned earlier. Vika serve was munched on constantly and the other team in general served and volleyed better. They completely deserved the straight sets win.
