Wimbledon Day 5: Friday, June 27 - Order of Play

[TennisFanatic7]

Djokovic with some lapses in this match but he'll still get it done.

Tsonga up 6-2 6-2 2-2, hopefully he'll manage to get that one finished today so he can actually have a day off

Benneteau and Roger-Vasselin have just come through their opening doubles match after winning the French. Bryans about to take to court.

Fognini capitulating in the fourth and fifth against Anderson, standard.

Case in point for Fabio though I'm surprised he even got 2 sets. Grass doesn't figure to be his thing, he doesn't have a good serve and it is a surface that punishes the roundabouts that Fabio seems to love so dearly

Novak is getting broken way too many times. No biggie against Simon but he has to clean that up for the upcoming rounds.

I think Murray has 2 somewhat tricky matches coming up...versus Agut and Anderson.

I agree. There are lot of concentration lapses from Djokovic right now. He needs to tighten up a little bit because it might haunt him in the later rounds.

 

[TsarMatt]

Hewitt down two sets. Even though they started at 4-4 in the 2nd this afternoon, I doubt he'll fight back from this. The only advantage is that he's still fresh, but then again, Janowicz is playing really good.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Uh-oh! Djokovic fell down and he hurts his shoulder!

 

[Moxie]

Oh dear…nasty fall for Novak. Trainer coming.

I think Murray has 2 somewhat tricky matches coming up...versus Agut and Anderson.

Can't see Agut challenge him too much but maybe Anderson will. And Novak has Tsonga and likely Berd coming up too so it will get a lot tougher coming up.

Novak does the Boris Becker impression and injures his left shoulder. :nono Where is Vajda.

 

[rafanoy1992]

I hope Djokovic is okay. I hate to see a player get injured especially a top player like Djokovic.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

I hope that shoulder will be OK. Jeez...

 

[Moxie]

Fowler points out that, if he can get through this one today, he gets two days off.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

I guess we're about to find out.

Turned off the tv 'cos Simon looked completely gassed after 4-4 set 1 so it looked routine after that so I missed Novak falling over. Hopefully he'll be fine.

 

[atttomole]

I am watching Djokovic-Simon and I am amazed by how long the rallies are. Even in the first week when the surface is supposedly fast.

 

[rafanoy1992]

What an awful comment by John McEnroe. He implied that Djokovic was faking his injury just like the World Cup futbol players.

The question is now, "How is shoulder in the next couple of days?"

 

[Front242]

He doesn't need to fake anything to beat Simon as Simon is physically wrecked.
