Wimbledon Day 6: Saturday, June 29 - Order of Play

[Sundaymorningguy]

Maybe Tomic should consider what Wimbledon did regarding his dad as a favor. He is playing far better than he ever has when his father has been involved.

Anderson and T-Berd look like brothers.

Weekend at Bernie's rebounds and takes the 3rd set 7-5

 

[Front242]

Haas and Lopez I think (on paper at least) should be the best match of the day. Veteran all courter in super form against a lefty with a great serve and great skills at the net who just won a tournament a week ago. Lopez' form was poor before that title but that's bound to have perked up his confidence. Also if Chardy plays to potential he could give Djokovic a tough match. On the WTA side I feel compelled to watch 42 year old Kimiko Date-Krumm play Serena for the first time. Shocking they've never played given their respective ages.

Wekkend at Bernie's rebounds and take the 3rd set 7-5

Nice! At times, Tomic's nonchalance actually helps him. He doesn't over think the points and goes for his shots when they are there. Keep it up!

---

Lopez's game is well suited to the grass. It pains me to remember all the trouble he caused A-Rod. It definitely will be interesting to see how Haas deals with that nasty kick serve. Expect a fair bit of S&V in that one.

Robson is through! Weeeeee! -does cartwheels-

Haas - Lopez is a toss-up IMO.

Mini break to Bernie, this could be over very soon!

Weekend at Bernie's takes the match on his 3rd MP. Congrats on making it to the R16.

[Andrew William]

Great display from Tomic! Is this the tournament he makes his big leap? Stay tuned!

Delpo won the first set against Zemlja...

Vamos!

T-Berd comes through in 4 over KA. He will face Weekend on Mon.

That's a fascinating match up. Two big dudes that have never played one another. I hope Bernard can keep it going!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Lopez wins the first set. Someone's mother must be happy...(we won't name names)

Deliciano approves this message!

 

[kskate2]

Oh no. Delpo skids and falls forward and into his equipment bag. Hope he's OK.

Tommy just served for the set at 5-1 and was broken. F-Lo to serve at 5-2

I'm very impressed with Del Potro on his grass game for the last three years. For his weakest surface, he has done very well in the last three years. We could potentially see a rematch of the bronze medal match between him and Djokovic. I do wonder if he reaches the Quarterfinals on how well he will play Ferrer. Last year, he played uninspired against Ferrer in the Round of 16.

JMDP drops a glazed doughnut on Zem in the final set 7-5 7-6 6-0. Appears to be OK from the fall. He'll play Seppi on Mon

 

[Andrew William]

Dolg breaks back to even things up. This could be a tricky match for David. One never knows with Alex.

Don't actually think it was down to uninspired play that day. Ferrer's simply a bad matchup for Del Potro. DP has a good shot against Seppi anyway considering the tough match Seppi had today and relatively short (given the bagel 3rd set) match DP had today.

 

[Andrew William]

And Dolg takes the first set!
