Don't think I was aware of Katie Boulter until this week. Enjoying watching her here.

 

She's actually decent for a British female player. Was moving up in the top 100 players a couple of years ago, but then had pretty bad injury problems.

😁 he's about as Scottish as Rod Stewart. 

 

Has he ever lived in Scotland? (I don't know). I know he was born in South Africa, the family moved to New Zealand, and his dad is from Glasgow. Think he studied in the States too. 

 

 

 

 

Yes he’s English really I would say but unsure what he identifies as .

Never heard of her until this week . Looks like she has full filled the usual British potential ie first round . Really the LTA needs an overhaul . That clown Inverdale talking about her “ coming of age “ On centre court ???? Absolute joke really

Typically when I start watching the awesomely tattooed Martincova she collapses and has thrown away the second set. (3set points to Podoroska)

Bless him, he looks like a car with 200k on the clock. Keeps getting through it’s MOT, just, but is basically falling to bits

What an enigma he is.   For a guy who's won so much at the highest possible level,  he doesn't half display a lot of traits of being a rank loser.  Eventually he's starting to be prepared to show some guts.

It is, mate. But it’s his choice. And it’s unbelievable he can still compete. This break might do him good but he looks so spent?

He does indeed one of the things that I think made him so good was it was hard to get the ball past him he doesnt look like he has that anymore. So far anyway but the time out its not surprising. Hopefully he does a Rafa

Absolutely. Some players only enjoy it at the top but if he's still enjoying it or even a little hopeful he can get closer to his old level then good on him.

 

The idea he's taking a place from other players doesn't wash for me. He's already knocked someone out and proven he deserves to be there as much as anyone else really.

 

He's one of only 4 active players to have won Wimbledon Men's singles if I read correctly earlier so it's very much up to other people to take over the mantle if they feel they're good enough.

The experience of dealing with the roof break. 


It’s insane. He shouldn’t be able to compete tbh.

Murray never seems to do it the easy way

 

3-1 Murray has he got the energy to see it through?

It's Kim I feel sorry for....he puts her through the wringer on the court and then when he's out injured her legs are never out the air.

I just find him Difficult to

watch . It’s always like a huge burden for him when he plays . There no sense of enjoyment from him and this can transfer to the viewer . Off court he’s a great guy , love his humour and personality but on Court does nothing for me .
