    Was able to watch properly kartal at lunch. she looked very good against a seeded player. 
    Got Fery on in the background against what I know of him a decent player in Popyrin. Fery close to breaking the Aussies serve but he's just hanging on. 

    4 all in the 4th set.

    Now that is a pleasant surprise!
    Cam's been in rotten form and for the 2nd set against RBA he was relentlessly hitting the ball straight back up the middle until RBA found a passing shot.
    He can thank me for the meeting that took me away from his match and shifted his fortunes. 😁

    But fognini has just blown it by losing his serve.

    Alcaraz has just stepped up a gear, probably because my autotype called him Alcatraz.

    Fearnley loses to Fonseca, no shame in defeat here. Good third set though

    Fognini has had 16 break points and only converted 3 of them.
    He could easily be a set up rather than a set down if only he had played the big points better.

    Played for Kent U16, got a scholarship to David Lloyd Academy, stopped playing when I discovered music. Had to deal with the LTA at times who were elitist gatekeepers as I wasn’t from a wealthy background (understand they’re better now)

    Henry Searle 1-1 in sets with the American Ethan Quinn. Billy Harris 2 sets and a break up on Dusan Lajovic.

    Earlier Hannah Klugman was beaten in straight sets by Leylah Fernandez.

    Harriet Dart serving for the first set against Dalma Galfi.

    Still Raducanu v Xu, Boulter v Badosa and Krueger v Stojsavljevic to come.

    Great effort from 38 year old Fognini. Into a 5th set.

    I really hope he wins. 
    I have no rational reason for disliking Alcaraz but I do.

    Awful set by alcaraz. Be surprised if he has another. Fabio has to be at his best to make sure alcaraz doesn't get any momentum.
    Can see a lot of shouting and fists pumps to galvanise themselves

    .fognini only really needs to keep the ball in play Alcaraz has mistakes in him, he’s failing to do that.

    7 Brits through to the 2nd round. Record breaking temperatures for the opening day at Wimbledon and record breaking day for Brits at Wimbledon in the open era.

    But an awful game.
    I used to love Wimbledon, been many times. I really think women’s tennis is going backwards.
    This Fritz/Perricard game is dull too, just a case of how hard can I serve.

    Insist on wood rackets.
