Great win for Draper.
 

Tennis

Fearnley has won too. Well done the Brits! So much for Judio's pessimism ?
 

Tennis

Congrats to Jacob .

Fantastic performance.

And great fighting back again from Draper .
 

Tennis

Marvellous effort that by Draper to win again in 5. Really super stuff. Love to see an Aussie choke. Draper seemed to have a second wind when he started egging on the hostile crowd.

Fearnley equally impressive. Hard to believe he was ranked #646 this time last year. Zverev next.

So 3 Brits through to round 3. As feared, I thought that Kudermetova might be a tricky customer for Boulter as she was a former top ten player.

Looking forward to Judio's predictions for the next round ?
 

Tennis

I did enjoy Collins comments on the heckling crowds. Shows her maturity as opposed to Medevev, throwing tantrums 2 games on the trot. At least he's gone.
 

Tennis

Jacob Fearnley beaten by Sascha Zverev in straight sets but was more competitive than the score suggests. Fearnley the first player this tournament to break the big German's serve (twice) and unlucky on several key points with net cords or very close calls. Fine margins. Looks a real talent and will benefit now from a higher ranking facilitating direct access to more ATP level tournaments.
 

Tennis

Draper wins 1st set vs another Aussie 6-4. Really turned it on in the last game. No bantz from the crowd yet.
 

Tennis

Another 5 setter for Jack. Match won't finish much before 1am. Not ideal.

Thought she had retired...

Not very classy

But baiting the Aussies

That's fair game

She was playing fantastic toward the end of the year, so why not continue.

I thought it was very classy myself. They have opened up more booze centers so the usually decorum has hit the road. Give as good you get !
I'm sure a lot of Australians will not be offended by her true and frank statement. A magic response to the heckling.
It has also made her a higher profile player, hence the comments.

Bad one for Raducanu - well beaten by a much better player on her game .

Tien and Monfils showing age is no barrier at either end of the scale !
 

Tennis

When's the Draper v Alcaraz match??

Agreed. I like tennis a lot so am always embarrassed when any idiot(s) start(s) singing this. I just mentally sing this along with them: "fcuk off, moron(s), fcuk off".

Got loads of stick too when she came out on court.
 

Tennis

Sounds like a competitive first set
Then ran out of gas
After 3 five setters
Not surprised

Ridiculous that once again Djokovic given night session rather than heat of the day
Draper v Alcaraz should have been 8am for Euro TV
Maybe Draper would not have suffered at night as much ?
 

Tennis

I guess those matches caught up with Draper eventually.

Let’s hope he recovers well.

Nice words from Alcaraz .
 

Tennis

Djokovic might be 37 but he isn't going away any time soon..

With his super coach alongside him.

Novak/Zverev and potentially Sinner in the last 4.

Not the most popular trio for various reasons but doubt they will care too much.

Fantastic result from Novak, especially after people saying Alcaraz will crush him! Love this pic of him and Andy ?

Djokovic hugs Andy Murray

Madison Keys giving Swiatek much more of a match as you might expect .

Winner plays the defending champion in the final .

Wow !

What great desire and clutch play by Keys to get through.

I must have missed her driving a car on court...., but yes, she did very well. Fingers crossed, from me anyway, that she can beat shouty/screamy Sabalenka to take her first Grand Slam after two unsuccessful finals.

Saturday morning final for the Wimbledon champions who play after Keys v Sabalenka

Competitive set
7 5 in the tie break
Then a hand shake
Djokovic quit
Zverev in the final

I'm not a fan of Novax, but the crowd booing him for retiring injured is something else. Oh yeah, I forgot - they're Australian!

To be fair on them, they've probably shelled out $350 for the privilege of seeing one set of tennis. The AO needs to review its refund policy IMHO.

Appreciated, but that's not Novax's fault.
