Tough second round there- Tsitsipas or Thiem.

A first round match Andy should win, would have preferred it not to be against Ryan mind you. Potentially a tough 2nd round though Tsitsipas has been in poor form on the grass and Thiem not really the same force nowadays.

Not a bad day for the Brits; not sure today will be as fruitful. Watching on tv yesterday I was reminded of my work days when I used to take the 2nd week off as holidays and as yesterday would be glued to the box each day. Will I be watching quite as avidly next week? - depends on who's still there! Been to Wimbledon only once with a ground ticket in 1995; always hoped to do the other slams but left it too late now at 82 and with poor mobility. Loved my Davis Cup excursions but still feel the same thrill watching Wimbledon as I did as an 11 year old. Andy is very special so come on Andy and make this year extra special! x
Loved Andy's sense of humour, as usual, yesterday.

OOP for tmw still not up (normally by 5pm for 2 main courts) so defo about Andy Murray being on Centre because Thiem vs Tsis still playing at moment. Once they finished I think OOP finally be up.
Andy's potential next opponents still battling it out in a 5 setter Thiem vs Tsitsipas currently 2-2 in 5th set.
OOP for tmw still not up (normally by 5pm for 2 main courts) so defo about Andy Murray being on Centre because Thiem vs Tsis still playing at moment. Once they finished I think OOP finally be up.
I should think they also need to see how many matches are completed today as some players are still playing the first round, and some have not even started their first round match, so I am guessing the oop will be late.
Tsitsipas wins in 5-set terrific match against Thiem. Both were great on the grass. And a really nice on-court interview afterwards.

Looks like I was right. As soon Thiem and Tsis match is over and now they can finally release OOP for 2 show court cos most likely wanted make sure Andy is on centre court.

A great treat for the crowd, should really have been a show court match though. Match with Andy will be 3rd on centre,could not really have put it earlier and a contrast between their respective 1st rounds.

So it’s Stefanos then, just hope he’s knackered!
I'm amazed Murray v Tsitsipas is tomorrow, - I thought they would have given Tsit's a day off. That's surely going to be an advantage for our man........
Tsitisipas had started his match yesterday so it wasn't a full match today so no reason to give him a day off.
Zverev, who is in Andy's half, has not even started his first round match yet. He will be playing his first round match tomorrow while quite a few in his half will be playing their second rounds. If he wins his matches he will be playing on 3 consecutive days.
A few others in Andy's half are finishing their first round matches tomorrow.

Liam played great and I was so happy to see this live!
Also Andy Murray played great too! I stayed to end until it called off for today.
Norrie out, lost in 4 to Chris Eubanks. Liam v. Shapovalov is 1 set all.

Broady was just serving for the 3rd set but got broken.
Shapo serving at *5-4 to try and stay in the 3rd.
If Broady could break again here he'd go 2 sets to 1 up.
Can pigs fly ..... ???
:whistle:
Not a good day at Wimbledon for the Brits, Andy, Cam and Liam all lost. Gutted for them all, especially Andy who with different scheduling etc would have surely won. x

Do we think Wimbledon are going to look at their scheduling for Centre Court in future years? Here are my issues and it's not just because the late start possibly impacted on the result of Andy's match....
The 1.30pm start has been problematic since they started doing it last year. Matches go so long it's often a struggle to finish before the 11pm curfew. They need to start earlier on Centre, probably at Noon but at least make it 1pm like it used to be. Why have they changed it? For the TV companies? To suit hospitality ticket-holders? To stagger the start times with No.1 & outside courts?
The on-court interviews are also eating into the time and for me add very little value to the viewing experience either on TV or at the venue. Pretty much every interview is the same ...'My opponent played great, I'm happy how I'm playing, I'm delighted to be in the next round'. Totally pointless doing that on court & holds up the next match. If they must interview the winning payer, do it in the clubhouse like they used to, but really I find those interviews pointless except for when it's the Finals. Players do a presser anyway if they have anything of interest to say.
As I type Swiatek is probably about to win in 2 sets, leaving Djoko & Stan less than 3 hours to get on court and finish before the curfew. If Iga's match goes to a 3rd set, no chance of the men's match finishing
lovetennis
07-07-2023, 19:24
And Iga's on court interview does nothing to dispel my view on the pointlessness of those interviews. No disrespect to her, what else do they expect her to say?
I totally agree about the interviews. In the olden days both players walked off the court together, which I think is much better.

The 13.30 start on centre court is definitely too late I agree. Even with the roof, they struggle to finish and at least 2 days come to mind where they have had matches to finish as well as the 3 scheduled matches! And it just keeps happening.
Will they change it? Let’s hope so. I believe it was moved to 13.30 so that CC and court 1 were different times … ok then, make court 1 12.30 and CC 13.00!:shrug:

Couldn't agree with you more, I think the latest start time at the other 3 slams on the main courts is 12 noon.
Even if Centre had started at 1.00 and not 1.30, Andy and Djokovic may have finished their matches the same day.

Eubanks up 2 sets to 1 against MeddyBear!
3-3 and all on serve in the 4th set.
Alcaraz v Rune all square at 6-6 in the 1st set so they're into a tie-breaker.
Eubanks and Medvedev now into a 4th set tiebreaker.
Medvedev takes it in the 5th.

The men's final as pretty much expected, Djokovic v Alcaraz. However semis a bit disappointing with both going through in straight sets. Sinner could not take advantage of any of the 6 break points and Medvedev challenge pretty much faded in the middle of the 1st. A bit of a lapse from Carlos in the 3rd though as he lost serve twice but Daniil could not capitalise.
oop for Sunday - https://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/scores/schedule/schedule21.html

Really enjoying it- made even better by the weather outside being so grim and Novak currently looking like he's not going to make it. Not counting chickens yet though but how excellent is Carlos at only just 20.
Glad it has gone to the fifth - still enjoying it and don't want it to end.

He had a very long toilet break instead.

When and where did you hear this Hoopgirl? :)
Alcaraz is certainly a phenomenal talent and has taken to grass court play remarkably quickly; with his win, it does seem more like the changing of the guard than with others who have risen in the top group and then couldn't maintain their position. I did feel sorry for Djokovic, as in spite of his sometimes annoying behaviour, he did play well against an opponent 16 years younger in a long 5 set match. I hope we continue to see more of him, Nadal, and of course Andy. (Sorry, personally I wasn't sorry to see the back of Fed!). x

Andrew Castle said this. But I'm not sure I believe all his comments. He said after a holiday with the children and discussing it with his family he'd decided to continue playing. But wasn't that a comment from a previous year?

I wouldn't bet against Djokovic making the final again next year. Whether he can beat Alcaraz again.......???????

I was very surprised to see Murray in the crowd.......not the sign of someone jaded/scunnered.

I thought it was interesting how often Carlos used the drop shot tactic, which I think had four benefits. firstly, winning the point out right, secondly to set up an easier passing shot, thirdly to keep Novak on his toes and finally, to tire Novak by chasing the drop shots. Going side to side is tiring but players will train for this, whereas the explosive start needed to go after a drop shot will undoubtedly affect stamina. Carlos must played more dropshots than AM in his prime !

I've read Novak Djokovic had been fined for hitting the net's post. I saw Andy Murray sitting and watching the final in a photo. I wonder if he thought it should have been him in the final.

So glad Carlos won!
Just reading Wimbledon numbers page (they do it every year). What making me laugh is about Eubanks. He hit most aces in mens 102, he also hit most unforced error 218 and he ALSO hit most winners 321 in mens side. So almost covers it all.

No, and why would he walk away? He took a top 5 player to 5 sets and very nearly won! If he had only challenged that return of serve at 15-30 at 4-4 in the 4th set, who knows what conversation we would all be having now. I was on in the crowd that day and didn’t find out about this until way after.

Also if only they had started Centre Court matches at a sensible time. Even if it had started at 1.00 pm there would have been time to play the fourth set while Andy had the momentum (but also sore from that fall).
