    Such bad luck for Dimitrov.

    So sad for Dimitrov. So nice to see such wonderfully honest concern and sublime sportsmanship shown by Sinner

    Awful luck for Dimitrov. I don't recall ever seeing such a sudden match ending injury like that.

    Really rough for Dmitrov, was playing so well.

    That is absolutely awful timing - poor bloke. He's had a history of injuries but surely none as brutal as that. I can't remember the last time someone was leading in such a high profile scenario and having to retire.

     you got tickets or are you just turning up? (If that's still a thing?) 

    I had a ticket for Centre Court.  Turning up is still a thing and there were people queuing when I arrived at 9.30am

    At least you'll get better weather. Even if you have tickets for Centre or No 1, it'll still nice to see play on the outside courts as well

    Would have loved to but was hosting for work and my clients stuck to centre court.   Was a cracking day still.  Started at 10am with a little tour and walk down the tunnels at Court 1 and Centre Court.  Very lucky.

    Fritz (who I have backed as a slight outsider) made it through to his first semi final at Wimbledon.

    Well not surprising Cam being against the best in the world is struggling in this first set 5 - 2 down already.

    Alcaraz is totally dominant. Be very surprised if it's not done in three.

    Think Norrie will only get some opportunities if Alcarazs concentration wanders from not being tested.

    Norrie has beaten him twice before but never in a major.

    Straight set comfortable win for Alcaraz.

    Alcaraz barely broke into a sweat. Got off early this evening so is heading over to the driving range before a round a golf tomorrow morning.

    Sinner having a few issues with his arm from the injury he got in the last match. Playing better though. Won first set in a tie break 7 - 6.
    Wouldn't surprise me if it will end up being a tie break in the second set due to Shelton having a powerful serve. 
  • Karim_myBagheri

    Well that prediction didn't work. Sinner is so good when it comes to rallying. Won 6 - 4 in the second set.

    Shelton missing a chance to break there. Sinner looking much better than he did against Dimitrov.

    Straight sets win for Sinner. Impressive today.

    Sinner wins in straight sets. Much more his type of performance compared to his last match. Shelton makes far too many mistakes for a top ten player. Relies heavily on his serve from the few matches I've seen of him.

    Relies heavily on wearing a vest

    For once, hoping Djokovic wins later. Alcaraz is special. Love watching him.
