Switch to it if you can. The winner could well be in the last 4. Most of the other players don't know how to deal with a full-time serve and volleyer like Cressy anymore, as was shown when he got to the Eastbourne final last week. He's a good bet to go quite far...wish I'd put some money on him today against FAA. Edited June 28, 2022 by PortyJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She managed to get a break up but Tan came back to life. Serena doing ok, some moments of brilliance but clearly lacking fitness...and of course, is old.

It's a bit like watching the club championship at my tennis club. Obviously this is all relative to having watched FA-A and Cressy just before this. There's no way I could get a point off either of them. That spell where they took over 25 minutes to complete 2 games looked like a war of attrition, though.

Some years after the Isner/Mahut abomination, they brought in fresh rules to prevent that ever happening again. However, being Wimbledon, they couldn't do the same as other tournaments. At first, they let the final set get to 12-12 (possibly 9-9) before going for a first to 7 tiebreak. I've not paid attention as to when they opted for the championship tiebreaker but it's been used in doubles in Master's tournaments for a few years.

Andy Murray regularly scoffs a burger during press conferences and it's made out to be fine, which I agree with, the athletes need for refueling comes ahead of the pigs asking the questions.

Not a good day for the British players so far, Penison already papped out earlier too. The boy that Norris is playing, Munar, is playing very well. I wish Norrie would be more aggressive sometimes too, too often he just taps the ball back into play and lets the opponent stay in the point, when you think he should be going for a winner. Edit - and there's Norrie getting broken again, and about to lose the 3rd set Edited June 29, 2022 by PortyJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
