What is it with tennis majors and ridiculous night games, expecting these athletes to play past midnight and then be on court again 36 hours later is crazy. No good for spectators either

you just have to be able to handle that otherwise retire from this sport :fan:

not everyone can be as perfect as Iga Swiatek ;)

polish serena williams :clap1:

Yes .. especially starting a mans game with those two which was always going to go on for ages

Did I just hear that they are gonna play the men’s semi finals INDOORS !?

Surely that plays heavily against Nadal’s style of play !?!

Emma Raducanu to play belgian Alison van Uytvanck

Heather Watson to play german Tamara Korpatsch

Jodie Burrage to play ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko

am not sure about Emma today against Van Uytvanck


Alison really got more match rhythm (better grass prep) in than her recently, more experience too and Emma just returning from some injury problems



Burrage against Tsurenko will first match for women's of the day :)

i see chances for Jodie, Tsurenko well she's not exactly the most tricky opponent and Burrage has got a strong win under her belt in the grass prep, over a top10 player Badosa recently


Watson and Korpatsch, hmm don't rate Heather that high, but same goes for Tamara more of a unknown for me haven't seen games of her that much, i expect a 3 set there and could go either way

Emma is playing against Brienne of Tarth as we speak !

lucky Emma, she didn't play good at all, only lucky that Alison was a huge embarrassment for belgium by playing like an amateur rather than her usual strong self, in smaller tournaments she would've smashed Emma to bits and pieces


but hopefully Caroline can do lords work next round, whom has more slam experience :fc:

omg Pegula's win :cheer: i was so nervous for her, with everything going on around her now, with her mom being ill, and such a solid straight set win over Vekic :o

also i notice her having improved in long rally's + having such a simple yet effective game


zero grass prep whatsoever and still slaying :clap1: also her first match as a top 10 player and she handled that like another day in office

Swiatek against our dutchie Pattinama-Kerkhove today

even if Lesley doesn't win that, she should enjoy herself against currently one of most consistent players




Pegula now against british Harriet Dart, well sorry for Dart but if Jessie plays like she did yesterday, nothing you can do against her, i mean Vekic played great but not great enough against such a solidly consistent player with very little errors

Murray and raducanu out

https://www.express.co.uk/sport/tenn...Nadal-Djokovic

:flutter:

still remains sooo impressive, her making a name for herself now, earning her own bit of money rather than just relying on family wealth, and now to be known as a wta top 10 star rather than just a billionaire heiress

could've easily afforded not to work a day in her life, but this shows her passion, commitment towards this sport


also kinda smart i think, considering into her new marital home, she also bought clay court and hard court practice fields with it


she is a entrepeneur herself as well, co-owner of a food truck service with her sister, as well as being the founder and owner of her skincare line (of which she got other tennis alumni as clients, among those Kim Clijsters)

Lots of Brits having a great tournament actually despite all the focus on Emma and Murray

Watson through to the third round earlier and Boulter and Dart giving good accounts of themselves. Watson might never have had major success but she's carved out a very solid career really over the years

Jessie through against Dart


phew, was quite a scare in set1 but thankfully she decided to wake up for set 2 and 3

We have 2 women in the 3rd round for the first time in a long while and have a strong chance of 3 men

Its just a shame there is no ranking points on offer as our brits would have had some big rises
