Wimbledon, Day 5, 3 July, Order of Play

[nehmeth]

Man. I never realized how obnoxious Nick is.

:s

I almost always cheer against Raonic, but today I found myself very much wanting him to win.

 

[nehmeth]

Pretty routine first set from Novak. Nothing top shelf, but he hasn't needed it either.

 

[DarthFed]

Looks like the same old disinterested, quirky, erratic Tomic that we've grown accustomed to. He has had a lot better year so far but still too hot and cold to make a meaningful breakthrough

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Richie up 4-2 and looking to close out Maria's boy in straights.

Richie could give Grigor some pointers on a career full of extraordinary talent and unmet expectations. ::dodgy:

Yep, after all Richie is the original Baby Fed.

 

[Federberg]

Richie up 4-2 and looking to close out Maria's boy in straights.

Yep, after all Richie is the original Baby Fed.

Why don't we change his name by deed poll to Baby Gasquet?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Grigor falls to 15 in rankings. This means in USO he will face Nole, Fed, Andy or Man in 4th round, assuming he reaches all the way up to 4th round.

Darn good thing Tomic has really long arms... his feet are not always getting him to the ball. :nono

I am at work and customers are wondering why I am crying...How can I explain this to them????

 

[nehmeth]

^^^
I am thankful my cheering on Milos did not cause arrhythmia! :snicker

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Tomic is just so painful to watch. So I will not anymore.

 

[nehmeth]

ESPN finally switched back to the Serb/Croat battle on Centre Court. McEnroe has been merciless in his discussion of Tomic's play. Second set to Novak.

 

[nehmeth]

Patented Nole walkabout gets him to 0-40 in his opening service game in the third. A little drama, some good shots and a little help from Tomic, and he holds.

 

[El Dude]

Kyrgios is an obnoxious diva but he is fun to watch and he is playing a very smart match, drawing Milos into the net has turned it around for him.

Facebook generation - nothing but divas from here on out. :nono

I'd probably say more Twitter and Instagram generation. Average age on Facebook is 41

That's funny considering I'm 41 and bashing Facebook .

Grigor falls to 15 in rankings. This means in USO he will face Nole, Fed, Andy or Man in 4th round, assuming he reaches all the way up to 4th round.

Don't worry, he won't. :dodgy:

 

[nehmeth]

A little fight back from Tomic to get back from 0-40 and hold for 2 all.

 

[Federberg]

Grigor falls to 15 in rankings. This means in USO he will face Nole, Fed, Andy or Man in 4th round, assuming he reaches all the way up to 4th round.

Forget Mr Sharapova and Baby Gasquet. He's the male Eugenie Bouchard right now. Two pretty people that aren't doing their real job right anymore :nono

 

[herios]

Just came back home to see that Novak sailed through, as I expected, but unfortunately both Milos and Grigor lost.
Milos must have served poorly, he needed to be sharp to withhold Nick. And yes nehmeth, Nick is one annoying dude. No wonder why Jmac likes him. :s

 

[herios]

Grigor falls to 15 in rankings. This means in USO he will face Nole, Fed, Andy or Man in 4th round, assuming he reaches all the way up to 4th round.

He falls to 15 at the minimum, but that could be more by the time the events concludes, because right behind him there are at least 2 guys who if they win one more round, will pass him as well.

 

[Kirijax]

Morning to everyone one the wrong side of the planet.

Irritated to find that the Diva has beaten Raonic. Don't want to watch the highlights because I can't stand watching Kyrgios between points. :cover

Marty McGoffin is into the 4th round? :clap

Baby Fed gone early again. The men's version of Bouchard. :cover

Djokovic and Wawrinka both win in straight sets. Headed for a HUGE showdown in the semis. Yes please.

Kudla wins?! :eyepop I know it was just Giraldo but wow for him! Into the 4th round of Wimbledon and the Top 100! :clap

Isner down 2 sets to one to Cilic. Come one Isner. Need to serve One-Slam Wonder Boy off the court.

 

[Federberg]

Good grief but Isner is hard to like.

 

[Kirijax]

If there is a reason for me to say the heck with tradition and bring on the 5th set tie break at Wimbledon, this is it.
