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

[El Dude]

I wonder what keeps Rusty going. He hasn't made it to a Slam QF in five years, a SF in nine years. Is it love of the game? Money? Or does he still hold out hope that he can win one?

With all the injuries and setbacks, it has to be the love of the game and the love of competition. I am sure he knows by now that he is not going to beat the top guys to win any majors and he must feel OK with that.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I see there is an epic 5 setter going on here.
I like to see Grigor take this.

 

[atttomole]

Dolgo is freefalling!!

 

[tented]

... Dimitrov might get a decent test. It's one of those matches that Dimitrov needs to win and fairly comfortably to show he is becoming more consistent.

It looks like he's going to win, but certainly not "fairly comfortably". :nono


EDIT: He won 6-7(3), 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, 6-1

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Great clay court tennis being played right now between Murray and Agut. I will not be watching any more.

Grigor up 2 breaks in the decider.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Well done Grigor. Winning a 5 setter is always a good thing. He is maturing.

 

[atttomole]

Dimitrov ends it with a flourish.

Good news: Djokovic said he had an ultrasound, and the shoulder is OK.

 

[the AntiPusher]

I think Fog will be punted out. Hope I'm wrong but he seems too up and down to win against a decent big server at Wimbledon.

Yeah, I'm going with Anderson. He might prove to be a bit of a dark horse here. They are underway.

The FOG has been sweep out to the sea.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Come on TB . Hold it together during the tiebreaker

 

[Front242]

Whoa that was getting very dark there. Very good match. High quality stuff from both. Great win for Cilic. Who does he play next?

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

yes skeletor burdych is on his bike. he can got back to his main hobby of being amazing rafa's biggest fanboi.

they were playing past 9:30pm after sunset..must have been on court 1,2 or 3..no way do you play at 9:30pm on centre,the open roof still takes away too much of the feeble twilight.

Looked crazy dark when they showed one side of the spectators' seats and you could imagine how hard it was to see the baseline paint as Berdych pointed out.

must have been gloomy out there but if the scoreline was reversed and he was nearly winning and not losing he would've been wanting to carry on.
