Murray will win this now. Once Isner's serve wanes and the actual tennis breaks out, there's only one winner. Hopefully. šŸ˜

Hereā€™s hopingĀ 

Ā 

Murray deserved that setĀ

Caught the ball on the full without it hitting the ground.Ā 

It was clearly out but they have their standards at Wimbledon and the lad is off an ethnic group of which Isner and many of the blazers would not be fully supportive.Ā

That's along the lines that I wrote. Erase 2021 from the memory bank and think of herself starting out as a 19- year old. Coco Gauff is an exceptional teenage talent but isn't suffering the same weight of expectation as oor Emma. Everyone knows she'll come good in the next year or three.Ā 

The same chance should be afforded to Raducanu. I don't know what Gauff's support team is like but I suspect it is more measured than Raducanu's.Ā

I think because Murray was jumping around at the time like he had won the freekin tournament the poor lad thought the ball had bounced twice!

I think Coco is surrounded by her family, including younger siblings who keep her feet firmly on the ground.Ā 
Ā 

I really like her and hope Ā she can get a Slam, even better if itā€™s the US.Ā

Murray has served well and returned really well.Ā  Apart from the usual overly long feeling sorry for himself he's played a ruddy good match.Ā Ā

Some families are better than others.Ā 

I like her, too. A very level- headed young lass who speaks well.Ā

Not really 100% convinced Isner is a sentient being, so not sure he'd be able to.

Ā 

Here he is at the mixed doubles tourney.

If his motor breaks down I'll play mixed doubles with herĀ :sweeet:

It can't be easy for Raducanu. She's got a pushy dad who hasn't learnt to let go and who wants a say in everything. He treats her like she is still a child.

Someone needs to have word with him and tell him to back off or else they're heading for a bust up.Ā 

She will wake up one day and just have had enough of him. Get a decent coach, let her play in peace away from parents and make her career in her own.

What an absolute dick. There's me thinking he'd turned this around and we're going all the way so no way am I getting to the supermarket, so I raid the freezer and put on something shite for my dinner...only for the ****er to drop his serve and now this could be over in 15mins.Ā :banghead2:

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I found it humorous when Castle was talking about ā€œ dinner being delayedā€ he probably meant a fancy Michellin star restaurant in London , as itā€™s so snooty at Wimbles , and hereā€™s you Ā raiding your fridge lolĀ

Jonesy pointed out a slight qualification on the BLM part. I believe he called BLM protestors "anarchists" which doesn't exactly mean he's anti-BLM but it's maybe an ill-judged statement to make when nobody is asking your opinion.Ā 

Ā 

Tbf, I couldn't stand the guy for his tennis long before I heard about his politics.Ā

Agree that it's boring, but not quite sure what else he's supposed to do? If he's tall and powerful, shouldn't he hit the best serves he can?

Isner was phenomenal.Ā  He's a lot more than just a monster serve.Ā  He'll get picked off in the longer points as his ground shots aren't big but he's got great touch.Ā  Keeping the points shorter is a must for him vs a top player.

Wouldn't be averse to this in general, never mind for Isnerish tennis.

At the very least they should do away with 'lets'
