Tennis: Wimbledon 2018

[Tuggy]

Denis breaks to take the 3rd set 7-5!

 

[kihei]

Kvitova and Sharapova unceremoniously out, 6-love and 6-4 in the third set respectively.

 

[Tuggy]

Great win for Denis! Honestly didn't expect it.

Milos plays at 6:30 eastern. Get the coffee out!

 

[MsMeow]

I missed the first set which Milos won in a breaker, 7-4. He was up a break in the second but was broken back. Millman is playing really well but Milos won the second in a breaker, 7-5. Milos hit a ball girl REALLY hard on serve but she sucked it up big time and said she was fine.

On serve in the third set. I thought Millman would crumble but he isn't going away.

Raonic takes the match in 3 straight TB's.

Raonic takes the match in 3 straight TB's.

The match was theequivalent of a stutter: all three tiebreakers were decided by 7-4 scores.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Wozniacki is on the ropes.

 

[Cody Webster]

Caroline!!!

Don't call it a comeback yet!

 

[Cody Webster]

It won't be called a comeback.

Poor

 

[rangerssharks414]

Caroline is out. 5 of the top 8 seeds on the women’s side are out.

 

[kihei]

Fabbiani up two sets and a break over Stan. This one I find really hard to believe.

 

[tony d]

Wide open women's draw now for sure. If Genie is ever to find her form again, this would be the time.

 

[kihei]

.....but Stan breaks back for 3-3. This thing ain't over.

 

[kihei]

Sometimes I wonder who all-time had a better backhand than Stan, and I don't come up with any obvious choice....or any unobvious choice, for that matter.

I always liked Edberg's and Agassi's backhands, but like in most things I don't like comparing players of different generations. Of the current players I think Djokovic ranks pretty high, but I have Wawrinka ahead of him.

 

[kihei]

Thanks to rain, play resumes tomorrow with many uncompleted matches. Roger finished, though.

 

[Tuggy]

Genie goes out to Barty in straight sets. It was a pretty even match and Genie played well. She was broken at 5-4 serving for the second set...

Shapovalov up a little later against Paire.

Just scoreboard watching today, but I see Cilic has lost the 4th set.

 

[Tuggy]

Just scoreboard watching today, but I see Cilic has lost the 4th set.

And just saved two MP's...what the hell Cilic!

 

[kihei]

Pulled himself together mid-choke. Kudos for that, Marin.

 

[Beau Knows]

And just saved a MP...what the hell Cilic!

I had to tune in to the 5th set. That was some big clutch serving there. Maybe he's woken up.

 

[kihei]

Tsitsipas recovers from a break down to take the fifth set from Donaldson. The guy is a quick learner.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Is Genie going to have to enter each major via qualifiers now, going forward? She doesn't win nearly often enough for that ranking to climb much higher.

 

[Beau Knows]

I wonder if this might go on for a while...

...and it ends in the next game.
