Dimi (33)
Ferrer(13)
Mannarino (33) surely that should be 66 or 666....

56 seconds in. Says it all about Federer compared to his 2006 self. Terrible shot. Never used to make these kind of errors.

Lots of good matches today, esp on CC (unlike yesterday!)

Federer, Dimitrov, Djokovic, Ferrer, Cilic, Raonic

Tomic-Nando was good fun before the rain so the 5th set will be a must watch.

Look forward to seeing this legendary Willis!

And Manna, he is a great, great player. Outclassed Edmund with guile and smoothness.


Dimi-Simon should also be super - so much game and skill on offer...on grass!!!!!

Thanks a lot LS.

My picks:

1. Federer
2. Simon
3. Ferrer
4. Djokovic
5. Cilic
6. Raonic

Just started watching Nole-Manna.
Some very nice tennis.
Baseline but lovely.

Yeah....from one side of the net though. Djoko is really scrapping right and left.

Why are tennis players waxing their legs & arms?

Well, he is ploughing through. Like a tank.

Manna has played some beautiful points and shots, but DBH tennis is too physical for him over the distance unfortunately.

Nole is relentless in his automatic mode. If Manna was fitter it woukd be a different story.

Match Point and Djoko tries to hit a FH winner but pulls it out!

Not impressed by Djoko. His retrieving is still excellent though! ....but to watch? dreadful!

They're all being very patronizing to this Willis guy too. They're treating him like he's some absolutely useless player. They're actually laughing. This guy has done what most can only dream of.
No wonder we don't have more winners with this loser attitude.

Sue Barker is laughing very obnoxiously. Please go away.

I am already loving Fed-Willis match!
Sue Barker is gigglng, Willis looks like he's vorrowed Fed's bandana, Fd's stretching (!!!) at the net! 

And Wills can't stop smiling...so cool!!!!

I don't find it amusing. They're turning the guy's big day into a circus.

Relax FK,

Willis is giving us all hope

I am actually loving giggly Sue...really cute!

There's a difference between laughing with and laughing at. Would you like people laughing at you on your big day? No. Castle, ironically, put it in perspective. He's won 7 matches to get here.

Order of play not out .. Rain delays and mixes things up..


nitb, tenez, ls... can you help? matches for tomorrow.

Deadline tmo morning so can't do thurs but could do Fri.
