Jacob did well.

Hopefully he'll take the positives from the match and build on it.

too bad but not the end of the world, didn't expect much from Iga on grass anyway


time to prep now for the Olympics where she plays in both singles and in mixed doubles with Hubert Hurkacz (top ranked ATP player)



at least she survived first two rounds so it ain't a complete embarrassment either (and no i don't care about what her haters have to say)



and you can't win everything 22 yrs old and already this successful is still very much amazing

If Swiatek is that young, then she'll have plenty more opportunities to win Wimbledon.

Good luck to her.

Claire Balding gushing over Emma Raducanu there .. couldn’t contain her excitement
Last Brit left in singles



Why is she losing the word CLUTCH so often and what the hell does it mean these days


It used to be used when describing bird’s eggs

How on earth did Carlos Alcaraz manage to lose 5 out of 6 service games !!?


Anyway the defending champion is through to the next round safely

Definitely one of the more entertaining players around and is possibly the closest to my hero Federer

Shame about EmmaR having to pull out of the mixed doubles with AndyM after she awoke with a sore wrist yesterday morning .

She was clearly gutted and apologised profusely yet it didn’t stop Andy’s boorish mother TweetingX one word “ astonishing”

How very rude !!

Wow

Emma Raducanu getting blasted off the court by an unknown qualifier who appears to be amazing !!

She reminds me of Martina Navratilova in her playing style

Fair play to Sun, played brilliantly

Big missed opportunity for Emma but still a good tournament. Hopefully she can bring some of that form to the US open

Wow

Another shock

Top seed Gauff being pummelled by a billionaire’s daughter Navarro !!

So much for hunger being all important in sports !!


Navarro looks like a cross between Friends Monica and Nelly Furtado !
