That would utterly **** me off being asked to take it easy or make it look like the other guy was better. Killer instinct and all that jazz (or jazz hands for @JamesM48)

Why did bbc switch to Federer match instead of final set of Zverev.

As soon as court 1 concludes they will switch it back anyway for Raducanu match.

 

Typical Federer love in.

Annoying, watching on iPlayer, but is minutes behind.

 

BBC GTF


They’ve now switched back to Zverev to show the end of the match, even though it’s finished. Wtf

Just wonder if the late start will have an affect on Raducanu. All the other ladies singles matches finished ages ago

Well played, Jonesy!

 

I believe that he was the actor who played the young Bjorn in that Borg v McEnroe film. Went for the audition without 'fessing up to his real identity.

Unfortunately not true...

 

Playing the bratty pubescent Borg is a child actor named, um, Leo Borg. “This was a wonderful thing, we were actually approached by Leo himself. He wrote saying, ‘My name is Leo Borg, I’m a tennis player, I’m 13-years-old. I’d like to come for casting. By the way, my father is Bjorn Borg.’

“I thought it was really great. I also thought it could be a big problem. Would Bjorn Borg be on set? Would he suddenly have a say in the film? Would he say, ‘No you can’t do that scene because I don’t want that side of me in the film.’?  Would Leo be in trouble at home at the dinner table if they didn’t like what he was shooting?

Ha! I was told that by someone who should know better. Butts will be kicked.

I see that Centre Court had a limited capacity until tomorrow, yet they were commenting on the near full house for Federer's match. 

 

Looks like they opened the doors when the rain came on. 

 

Capacity went up to 75% today.

Gets a bit excited doesnt she

 

 

Love the way she gets herself fired up. Too many of the British lassies are far too polite.

Defs , fought hard in that game , really unlucky. Im hoping she goes on to fulfil the undoubted potential , Robson and Watson just dont seem like they were close to the level she is already

Needs to pick her moments to celebrate a bit more. Giving it big licks on the deuce point is a waste of energy

Expect Tomljanovic to run away with the 2nd

I hope that first point is a sign of her going for it

Raducanu starting to look fatigued. The Aussie tbf isn't really making many errors either.

 

 

Battering the ball too , making Raducanu work. Bound to be knackering her

Bit of good advice from Navratilova

 

You've got to clear the net

4-6 0-2

 

The writing is on the wall - Tomljanovic winning the long rallies has been the difference and appears to have knocked the stuffing out of Raducanu
