    This may be the kiss of Death for him but I believe Zverev will win the title this year despite never getting past the last 16 at Wimbledon.

    Coco Gauff  to win her 2nd slam at 20 years old.
     
    Anyone know the draw as I think Emma Raducanu can go deep Into the tournament but I don't see her beating Coco; really hope I wrong if they meet.

    20 minutes after posting this he goes slipping and sliding and hurts his knee. Carrying on with a slight limp 🤦🏻‍♂️
    Can you also big up the Swiss football team, thanks.
    The Swiss will roll over England and they won't need penalties. That should do it !

    Dart is imploding in the third

    Lost it 3-6 after being 3-0 up

    Dart is an immensely dislikeable character.

    The easiest of put aways to go 4-1 up and muffed it. To lose that 6-3 is very poor and imo entirely down to her emotional state.

    Key v Paolini is a great contest and what a time for Keys to go off court for a medical time out at the business end of the match in the 3rd set.

    Keys has to quit at 5-5 in the 3rd with a pulled hamstring. She did it at 5-2 up in the final set !
    Such a sad ending.

    What  shame for her. A reminder to the idiots that other players also have to retire injured sometimes

    Alcaraz is struggling v Humbert.
    (Cue Alcaraz now running away with the match).

  • Alcaraz is such a talent. Very grounded.
  • Great start from Sun. Amazing tournament for her so far ..
  • Raducanu outclassed in first set.

    Yep, she’s got her work cut out.

    Unfortunately. Gonna have to improve if she's to win this one. Her timing seems off

    Surprised at how many empty seats there are on Centre Court
  • Raducanu has done really well to stay in the match. 
  • Raducanu showing real character to win second set - second best for most of the set.

    Agreed - I think this shows she can stick in there and fight every point. Clearly second best, so not entirely sure how she won that set!

    She's going to have to up her game though in the 3rd - not sure how as she is going to do that

    Pressure might get to Sun.

    Baffles me how many people turn up and then don't watch the tennis much.

    Corporates a lot of the time I guess, it's a day out and the meal, drinks etc are all part of it, but even on a corporate day I'd rather watch all the tennis and worry about food before or after!

    Concerning this given the injury issues she's had.

    Agreed. We always take a picnic and 'refreshments' and are a somewhat creative about the alcohol restrictions

    Hope she proves me wrong, but unfortunately I can't see her winning the 3rd - unless she improves massively

    I think maybe the wrist is a problem, and why she isn't playing nearly so well.

    I still think she's proven she doesn't just give up though by digging in to get the 2nd set

    Not quite the same, but I never understand people going to half time at Charlton away matches 5 or 10 minutes early, then come back late. If you just want a drink with your mates, there are cheaper ways of doing it!
  • Great victory for Sun.

    Too good.
    It was more Raducanu wasn't on her game today. Sun was definitely far better, but it was more Raducanu was poor than Sun played her off the court. Don't know what was wrong with Raducanu

    Well deserved.

    Sun was far better and hit more winners - don't think Radacunu could compete with her. I think Sun was better technically.
