[exislander]

A win for Glasspool/Heliovara over Koolhof/Rojer!

Parker/Ward lose to Bambridge/Inglot

[Jane]

Now in a second set tie-break and trailing 2-5

[Jane]

One set all - lost the tb 5-7:sad:

[JAMES4578]

Quickly turned round after commanding lead, however Jamie/Bruno gone break up in 3rd at 2-0, keep it going! Take it best of 3 for just the early rounds.

[Hawkeye]

Double break up now at *4-0.

[Jane]

"Take it best of 3 for just the early rounds."

Yes - I think that is correct from looking at yesterday's results.

[Hawkeye]

5-0* now...

[Jane]

Jamie and Bruno finally win after a very quick third set.....6-1, 6-7, 6-1:dance::dance::dance:

[JAMES4578]

Could have won in 2 but 1st and 3rd very decisive, well done!:cheer::cheer:

[david1610]

I see Nick Krygios and Venus Williams have paired up in the mixed doubles! Not quite Andy and Serena but was not expecting that pairing! ;)

:flowers:

[Sallydaisy]

No alternates signed in to mixed doubles so Naomi Broady and Jeremy Chardy have a walkover into the third round.

[Hawkeye]

Joe & Rajeev into the third round.

Jamie & Bruno won a first set tie break.

[Hawkeye]

Bambridge & Inglot out, Gray & McHugh a set up on Glasspool & Heliovaara

[Hawkeye]

Jamie & Bruno a break down in the deciding set.

[JAMES4578]

Unfortunately they are out, going down 6-2 in the 3rd. Jamie and Bruno not having a great deal of success lately.

[Hawkeye]

Norrie & Munar knock out the #5 seeds and AO champs Dodig/Polasek!

[RosieBear]

Tremendous win for Cam and Jaume. What a final point. Lovely to see Cam smiling after his earlier loss. Hope they can keep the run going :cheer:

[exislander]

Surprising win by Fery/Moore over K Skupski/Pegula in Mixed.

N Skupski/Krawczyk won today.

[HoopGirl]

Unfortunately they are out, going down 6-2 in the 3rd. Jamie and Bruno not having a great deal of success lately.


It’s such a shame - especially as the change of partner was meant to help his on court success.
I see Jamie has a bad neck at the moment so probably likely to be why they didn’t get through but Jamie doesn’t seem happy with the COVID restrictions and I can’t help think this is affecting his performance.

[Gary D]

It looks to me like he's a spent force. Since he split with Soares he's played with a few other partners & from what I've seen he's made more mistakes. And when those players have paired up with someone else, they've beaten Jamie. I hope I'm wrong.

[Sallydaisy]

Salisbury/Ram are through to R3.

[Sallydaisy]

Norrie/Munar warming up against Ruud/Goransson on Court 18.

[Sallydaisy]

Salisbury/Dart v Koolhof/Schurrs has just started on Court 16.

[Sallydaisy]

Norrie/Munar warming up against Ruud/Goransson on Court 18.
Ruud/Goransson win by retirement 4'3 in the first set.
Norrie had a MTO early on in the match but carried on.
Clearly not able to continue.
:sad:

[RosieBear]

Joe and Harriet defeat Koolhof and Shuurs 2-6, 6-1 6-4 and advance to the 3rd round :clap:

[banskogirl]

Joe and Harriet defeat Koolhof and Shuurs 2-6, 6-1 6-4 and advance to the 3rd round :clap:

Well done guys!

[exislander]

Fery/Moore also into round 3 to play N Skupski/Krawczyk so will be at least some British representation in QF Mixed

[RosieBear]

Excellent win for Joe and Ram over Farah and Cabal 6-3 6-4 7-6(2) :clap: The annoying Croatian pair await in the next round .

[exislander]

Skupski/Krawczyk just had too much experience beating Fery/Moore 7-6 6-3

[Sallydaisy]

Naomi Broady and Jeremy Chardy beat Raven Klaasen and Darija Jurak 6-3 7-5 in the third round at Wimbledon.

[Hawkeye]

Joe Salisbury and Harriet Dart through to meet Chardy and Broady.

[RosieBear]

Ugh. The annoying Croatians steal the first set on tb. Joe and Ram ahead on every single stat inc total points won. So frustrating. Really hope Joe and Ranjeev can keep close and get the 2nd. :GBflag:

[JAMES4578]

Unfortunately Joe and Rajeev now 5-3in the 2nd, come on!

[Sallydaisy]

Mektic/Pavic took the first set of this Mens Doubles 5-setter and lead by 2-0 (7'6, 6'3).
Joe and Rajeev fighting hard to break and take the 3rd set but the Croatians have held for 5-5

[Hawkeye]

Third set tie break, now or never for Joe and Rajeev.

[RosieBear]

It's now! They take the tb (2) and finally get a foothold. Good fortitude to hang in this match

[JAMES4578]

Hopefully Joe/Rajeev keep the momentum going, come on!

[Sallydaisy]

:sofa:
Croatians have a 2nd match point ....

[Sallydaisy]

The Croatians have beaten Salisbury/Ram ...
7'6, 6'3, 6'7, 7'6
Couldn't have been closer!
:sad:

[JAMES4578]

Mektic/Pavic take 4th set breaker 7-5 to reach final. Pity for Rajeev and Joe but good effort in extending match.

[RosieBear]

:crying::crying::crying: Absolutely gutted. It was that killer first set. The Croatians always had the cushion, Joe and Ranjeev always chasing. So fed up for them :sad:

[Jan]

Oh that was agonisingly close. Great match though. Just a shame Joe and Rajeev lost.

[Sallydaisy]

The Croatians have beaten Salisbury/Ram ...
7'6, 6'3, 6'7, 7'6
Couldn't have been closer!
:sad:

So, the Mens Doubles Final will be between:
[1] Mektic/Pavic v [4] Granollers/Zeballos

[Sallydaisy]

Last Brit standing in the main events???

That's be Neal Skupski in the Mixed Doubles. Due to play on Centre sometime after the 2nd Ladies Semi-Final.

We might have Junior or Wheelchair Brits still going though.

And Joe in the mixed too ;)

[Hawkeye]

And Harriet, and Naomi Broady...

[Jan]

And Harriet, and Naomi Broady...

Ah for some reason I read it as British men :doh:

[Sallydaisy]

:oops:
Goes back to school.
:getcoat:

[Hawkeye]

Dart & Salisbury beat Broady & Chardy to make the semis!

[RosieBear]

Nice, some consolation for Joe after a tough loss earlier. Neal and partner through too and not playing Joe in semis which is a relief. Hopefully British hands on the trophy :peace:

[banskogirl]

Dart & Salisbury beat Broady & Chardy to make the semis!


This was a fun match ��

[suttontennis]

This was a fun match ��

didn't enjoy as much as other matches. Lot of power hitting from Chardy in the general direction of Harriet, not many at the net exchanges that used to typify mixed.
Guess that's the modern game. Naomi seemed to be enjoying herself.

[RoastLamb]

So frustrated I cannot watch the mixed dubs going on right now with Joe and Harriet. ARGH!

I just thought they looked like they were all having a good time :)

Plenty of net play in the Semi-final though
:strawberry:

[RosieBear]

Yippee, dream team into the final. Harriet's first final of any kind - not a bad one :rolling: Could watch Joe all day and well done Harriet for totally holding her own with such a brilliant partner :clap:

[cazza99]

Well done Joe and Harriet :clap:

[Jan]

That was brilliant!!!

[Sallydaisy]

Fab-u-lous!!!
:dance:

[themass15]

So pleased we have a British pair in the final and, if Neal gets through ....

[banskogirl]

Well done Joe and Harriet :dance:

[exislander]

And well done Neal and Desirae! 3 Brits in the final!

[RosieBear]

Brilliant! How lovely to have a guaranteed British champion - relaxing way to watch a final :GBflag::thumbup:

[Jan]

yes - really looking forward to the final!!

[JAMES4578]

Great for Neal and Desirae coming through a tight semi, well done!

[Sallydaisy]

:phew:

Now that Ladies Doubles Final is finished it's time for the Mens Doubles Final.
[1] Mektic/Pavic v [4] Granollers/Zeballos.
Should be a cracker ... and best of 5 sets so the crowd could be in for a late night under the roof. (and only 3.5 hours to play it out).

[Sallydaisy]

10.20pm ... and the Mens Doubles Final has ended! A late night on Centre Court.

Mektic/Pavic notch up another Grand Slam title and are so delighted!!!
:trophy::trophy:

They beat Granollers/Zeballos by 6'4, 7'6, 2'6, 7'5

[RoastLamb]

Super stoked for Team Croatia!!! They are AWESOME!!! :trophy:

[JAMES4578]

Entertaining Men's Doubles finsl, Mektic/Pavic certainly the stronger team but good Granollers/Zeballos made more of an impact and extended the match though was a dip from the Croatians in the 3rd. there There may not have have been enough time tonight had it gone to 5. whilst some of the crowd had left still fairly decent turnout at the conclusion.

[Sallydaisy]

Skupski/Krawczyk take the first set 6'2 over Salisbury/Dart.

Let's hope the 'Brits' can level it up ...

[RosieBear]

Congratulations Skupski and Crabcake :clap::trophy: Neal was the standout player :clap: Just the better team on the day. Wonderful to have another British Wimbo champ.

[JAMES4578]

Closer in the 2nd but Skupski/Krawczyk easily take Breaker 7-1 to take the title, well done!:cheer::cheer: They certainly well the stronger team, credit though to Joe and Harriet for their good play in reaching the final :clap:

[lovetennis]

Well that was a win-win situation for us, but glad to see Neal win as he's a local(ish) lad for me
:strawberry:

[RoastLamb]

Altho' I was rooting more for the full British team I am happy for Neal and Desirae. Glad one trophy stayed in England yesterday!!!:strawberry::wimcry::wimbly: :trophy:

[banskogirl]

Great for Neal and partner :cheer: and it was good to watch a tennis match with no stress!

I thought Harriet played especially well as the youngest, she had lots of confidence. Looking bright for British tennis right now
