Delighted for Karlovic. Nice to see the old guy getting some decent results at his age and according to tennis.com...

"The 36-year-old Karlovic is the oldest man to make it that far at Wimbledon since fellow Croatian Niki Pilic in 1976. He's the oldest player to reach the round of 16 at a major since Jimmy Connors did so at the 1991 U.S. Open at the age of 39."

What's up with Andy? I haven't been watching. I saw him feeling his shoulder? :snicker

It going to be like the Federer/Groth match, where Federer took the foot off the pedal in the third set.

Looks like Andy is going to try to hack his way thru this set. Will Seppi have the sense to pull the trigger every now and then to keep Murray on his toes?

I only just started watching but they said Seppi had the trainer on earlier so who knows. Maybe he's just playing payback. They both look fine anyway.

Screw this. Seen enough. Seppi probably won't win another game here.

haha! I agree. I only find Murray matches interesting when he's playing the big boys

Yup. I was actually a bit concerned about Murray before I watched a bit of this match. No way does he beat Roger if he isn't having one of those off days. Ain't happening

As predicted Seppi won't win another game. Seems the MTOs worked a treat for both of them.

Morning to everyone on the wrong side of the planet. Just got up and had to pick up my lower jaw off the floor after discovering that Jankovic upset Kvitova. The men not that bad though.

Federer finishes off The Groth in four. Federer really didn't need to play an extra set. He's old and needs to conserve his energy for the big boys. :snicker But the day-off Sunday, one of the traditions Wimbledon actually does need to get rid of, will help him.

Dr. Evil wins three tie breaks (would it be any other way?) and sends Tsonga home. How many aces did he serve up? Anybody know?

After all that whole to do on Friday, Isner serves up two double faults, one on match point, and goes home quietly. Really, really disappointed this one didn't go 71-69. :cool:

Oh Ward! So close! You may never get a gift draw like this again. And Popsicle! After his injury thing during the clay season, he makes it to the 2nd week of Wimby. Color me surprised.

Berdych flirted with disaster there. But one more round and then he can try out his forehand on Berdych. Berdych does what he's supposed to do. Nothing more. Sometimes less.

Muzza! I can understand the top guys always dropping the third set after winning the first two and then start thinking about the next round while the other guy wins a set. But sometimes I wonder why they can't stay focused throughout a match. But Murray is through and now faces...let's see......:eyepop Dr. Evil.

Simon hasn't won yet but he is playing really really well of late. I watched a YouTube video the other day of the top ten longest rallies in open history and I swear Simon was in half of them. Gotta be frustrating to play this guy but he does what he can do with what he has.

Dagnabbit I hate Middle Sunday at Wimbledon though.
