rudi must stay Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Popyrin looks good. I think there's a shock on the cards here Medvedev always seems to play the same. Very conservative. He has all the shots but he's happy to keep the point going and that can cost you as it has so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a fighter and will have a decent run this year IMO, assuming the draw is good to him (can't be bothered looking) Edmund plays Verdasco that's a tough draw early on. Initial thoughts are he could lose that one Good call. Of course, I misread it and thought you had seen Evans playing against Verdasco. Evans wouldn't have lost From what I heard of the match, Edmund might have injured himself in the third set but he was 3-0 up and should really have been able to close it out.

She could be one of the teenage flash in the pan players who becomes a trivia question in 5 years time. She could also be the big thing for the next 20 years, just like Sloane Stephens was 4 years ago... Meanwhile, in the tennis, the third round will pit Milos Raonic against a 6 foot 11 American. Both off them serve at 140+ mph. Could be an awful match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans has more steel than Edmund definatly. Him v Evans would be a very interesting match and I hope it happens one day Yes his forehand is terrific but he got abit passive for me (a worrying trait but a British one it seems) and I'm not buying his injury, when he really went for it he was winning points. I think he has to take a long hard look at himself, just like last year. For me he's not determined enough but he does have the talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture a player about to serve when the the crowd shouts “Ooooooohhhh YOU’RE SHIT AAHHHHHH”. See how well Djokovic plays when a coin bounces off his coupon. Hurling abuse at the umpire and questioning his parentage. You get my drift. ??? If the weirdos that partake in that god awful chant went anywhere other than a football stadium I would be all for it.

Look at Edmund yesterday in his press conference, he wasn't bothered in the slightest infact watching it you'd have thought he'd won. Well done to Evans, good win and infact a bit of a landmark result. And this is a solid effort from Clarke, by the looks of things a solid player with good athleticism.

Complaining that Nadal serving too slow (he isn't). Cake and eat it. I'm listening to the Wimbledon radio commentary with Laura Robson guesting on the mic. She shares my opinion that Nadal is taking the utter piss and that Kyrgios has a point. He should learn when he's said enough, though. The umpire seems on it, although Laura and I agree that Nadal should have had a talking to at the end of the first set. Going off for a change of shirt and then sitting down for a minute when he got back is not on. Nadal's a sneaky wee dick; he has been all his career. He knows he's getting under Kygios's skin and is getting away with it. Now the umpire's taking the piss following the hawkeye challenge. Should have been a reload.

The tennis 'establishment' has a leaning towards Roger and Rafa; less so Murray (and a couple of others) and even less so for Djoko. To them, everyone else is just cannon fodder. Nadal gets away with it time after time. The etiquette is clear; be ready when the server is ready. There are exceptions but only in the extreme - such as folk in the line of vision getting their tits oot or some such.. Those exceptions don't extend to "Rafa not feeling quite ready 'cos he hasn't had his finger up his own arse crack yet". Kyrgios was spot on in his analysis. That umpire was weak and favoured Nadal. They'll probably fine him despite him being right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
