Yeah, I think Ana wraps up the 2nd and then we go into the 3rd with the outcome just depending on who can get their head/game together quicker ...and hopefully with no more interruptions.

 

[Sinner]

It'll be important for Ana to break for the set here too... wasn't entirely confident on her serves, especially on her 2nd serves.  Sabine was hammering a few of the returns.  

Hopefully Ana will take the 2nd and then come back tomorrow when the weather clears...

Boom Boom!

Beat Serena and lose the next match volume 19. Good win for Bouchard though. She needs these wins to justify the hype.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Radwanska was washed. Jesus.

 

[Sinner]

World #4, y'all.  How the hell did that happen???

Meanwhile, Murray looked really good... Nole's looking really good too.  

Potentially Murray vs. Grigor will be interesting.

Damn Serena....Damn...


Yoooo Nishikori going the distance and winning a five setter without injury? I am impressed.


Banzai Nishikori

 

[Sinner]

^ Over 3 days though! 

 

[thadangerousmind]

Hopefully one of the girls gets her first slam.

Isner

I know... with a serve like that, you should be going deep into the tournament.

So long, Caro.

For you Princess Genie fiends.

Rome wasn't built in a day now. LOLOLOLOL.

Shame about Ivanovic not fulfilling potential at yet another GS. Really willing her to come through. But glad to see Genie coming through ( yes im that shameless whilst my girl Robson is still out) I'm back to Sw19 tomorrow on Centre with Sharapova, Nadal and Kitova playing. And I'm gonna catch Lisicki in court 3 at 11.30 first. BTW that final return from Djokovic!!!

 

[oneilmatt]

I try to emulate Isner as we're both tall and lanky (though I'm only 6'4 

) Got a ways to go before I can serve 140mph tho

 

[Sinner]

@britkicks  

 Shameless!  Though Robbo seems very pleasant and whatnot, but her game's so iffy... moments of brilliance and effortless power... but the consistency, as usual. 



That return though... 

And for those wondering why he had such a huge reaction... Jo started to play very well in the 3rd and was serving bombs.  It was a really tight and tense set, so hence the emotion by Nole afterwards. 



And for the randomness of it...

 

[britkicks]

Sinner you are right and I do have a thing for posh English girls - indeed I married one. However I have followed Robson since her Junior days and she was on a roll before getting injured but I don't think she will ever be more than top 20 and a few small tourney wins and GS semis. She will be the female Henman I predict- loved in Middle England and ignored in the rest of the world!

BTW 2 McEnroe has picked Genie to win Wimbledon this year. WTA board will wet themselves with excitement if it happens. Bottom half of women's draw is wide open now though.

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Whatevs.....No1e will never return like Agassi tho.....LOL

Sabine has made enough money at Wimbledon to get those teeth fixed.

 

[oneilmatt]

I expected some Ribery type teeth. Her teeth look fine

 

[thadangerousmind]

No they don't lmao. She stops being cute altogether the moment she opens her mouth.
