New Balls, Please

[Winchester White]

I am actually enjoying it so far this year. Best thing they did was put the roofs on centre and no.1 courts. There's a good British representation too going through to the 2nd round.

Aye.

I don't follow tennis on the whole, but quite like Wimbledon, and with plenty of British interest still in, it's more interesting again.

Lost all interest in tennis since the big 4 got old 

 

Agree to a extent. Outside of Alcaraz and Sinner, everyone else is kinda nondescript 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Draper certainly wasn't yesterday.

Not often you see a chap dominate so much.

Tougher opponents to come, but he was very impressive.

Radacanu is looking superb, proper got her mojo back and she is fit as fuck, pity she’s got the world number 1 in third round. Wouldn’t put it past her though, most seeds already out including second  third and fourth. The British girl with the tattoos who looks like a naughty little lad is ace and should get to at least round 4. Cam Norrie and Draper can’t be ruled out in the men's either, although it’s hard to see beyond Alcaraz tbh.

All spot on

Wish her all the best but shes never beat anybody at sabalenkas level

Oh and that interview said so much

Shes just a kid yet shes been through so much pursuing her career

Typically shes been constantly written off in the press and it must be really tough to take

[Tonge moor green jacket]

I'm not sure she's been written off, but been criticised for her performances.

Some maybe over the top perhaps.

Sooner rather than later she will have to get back up those rankings and prove her worth to be challenging for major honours again.

Hopefully she's matured, got over some of those injuries, and got her focus back.

Well the cricket team are having their pants pulled down by India. Hope Draper is doing better in the tennis…..oh wait😡

Hmm.

Looked good in the 3rd set.

Tight 4th.

Cillic is a fine player with a big serve. Got himself fitter and could be a threat- but only if he can maintain those levels.

[Dimron]

Fk me

That was a game... Norrie did it in the end 😆

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Quality that.

Against that serve, I was concerned in the last set.

Once he got a return in, Norrie won a decent number of points.

[Casino]

Big game for radders in progress

Taken second set from sabalenka

IF she can win this, itd be a massive boost for the US as she should then be seeded

 

Coach telling her shes better than sabalenka!

[Casino]

I hope that missed break poit isnt a massive lost opportunity

Sabalenka is def struggling with the conditions

[Casino]

I cant help enjoy watching sabalenka

Proper grumpy when its not going her way

Her physicality makes her a threat even when her game is off

Such power

[Sweep]

I really like Sabalenka, her matches are always a good watch

[Casino]

3 hours in that heat

Theyre both fooked

[Casino]

15? deuces?

[Casino]

Excellent 3 hours, with a sadly predictable ending

But shes not far off some big wins

Radders is actually doing well of late, I think she's in the top 30 now, she'll soon break that top 10 I reckon. 

Did well against Sabalenka, who may well win the US in September

she is top 32 but i think she will drop before the US Open, which is a bummer

 

Sabalenka was dreadful - by her standards - yesterday, but when it clicks, shes unplayable

i reckon she'd be pretty demanding of her blokes, too

Funny thing is, she looks a unit on court

Her ex committed suicide didn't he?
