Three women through - Radacanu, Miyazaki and Kartal. Watson out.
Kartal came through the qualifiers and knocked out the no 29 seed.
Shame Draper and Boutler not on Centre or No. 1 today
Boulter as the British number 1 and a seed should have been on centre court and Draper as the new British number 1 should've been on court one today.
Boulter should get an upgrade especially as Emma Raducanu got to play their yesterday.
I didn't know about Kartal until I looked up all the British ratings for the men and women. I believe she is another Brit who have been on the USA college route.
Arthur Fery has also been in the states and was unfortunate in having a thigh strain when leading his match before losing in 5 sets.
Watching him warming up on TV yesterday he may struggle to even play the doubles.
Shame as it will surely be his last hurrah after being the best of the rest along with Stan Wawrinka after the big 3 of the bendy Serb, the Spanish muscle man and Mr Cool himself, Roger the man with the white jacket.
Only 4 of the 8 wilcards in the women's draw went to British players.
You got your wish Princess, Jack Draper will go to the ball on centre court.
I appreciate the Draper game has gone into a 5th but it is a great match. Norrie is leading 2 sets to love and a break up at 2 - 0 so not exactly a pivotal moment.
Now a double break
Only found out today he is right handed in everything except tennis. Akin to Rafa. Odd to see him throwing balls into the crowd with his right hand/arm! Writing maybe but throwing compared to serving more unusual?
I would give my right arm to be Ambidextrous!
I was so into the tennis that the football took second place yesterday.
Jack Draper and Katie Boulter had opponents that played at the top of their form and it was good to see both battle away despite their A game not quite there on the day- evening in Jack's case under the roof for the 5th set.
I wouldn't personally go for a £30 ground pass today as forecast not looking great.
I always used to go on one of the first 3 days when there was 0% of rain. If you are on centre or number 1 now obviously the rain isn't a factor any more.
I have been quite a lot starting when my dad took me most years for a while - (his fault thanks to him I became a Charlton support too!). But then only when we have had Centre or /No. 1 Court tickets in the last 25 or so years. I have been very lucky with the ballot. I think the odds aren't as good now it is online and you don't have to send in the SAEs
Now Andy Murray is in the mixed doubles - with Emma Raducanu!
