Damn haha and Chardy/Cilic stuck at 6-6 in the 1st set tiebreak. What a horrible place to stop
That "no play on sunday" rule is so ridiculous. Wimbledon should really reconsider some of its traditions. Its really dumb keeping it if you are turning your tournament schedule in a complete mess.
it's always cloudy there, so they only close the roof when it's actually raining

They try to keep it an "all natural" grass tournament as much as possible. Which is something I like.

Even if Isner wins the 4th set, he's not going to win the 5th since there's no tiebreak in the 5th.
Eugenie will prevail!Genie <3 Third Grand Slam QF in a row. She has a great future ahead of her.
But next up possibly yet another encounter with Maria. This sucks so much. I hate when they play each other. Wish they both could win.
I hope she wins too.
6-0 6-0 win by Lisicki confirmed.
Knowing Lisicki, she'll probably have a harder time against her than she would against Halep or Sharapova.
Still, I reckon Lisicki will get to the semi final, and the winner of Lisicki vs Sharapova will win the Championship.
Yeah this is annoying. Fed/Nadal's half will play Tue, Wed, Friday, Sunday. Tough schedule, but not nearly as bad as the US Open.

Keys withdrawl solidified no American woman making it past the 3rd round of Wimbledon for the first time in the Open era. So its not just the American men that are scrubby journeymen anymore.
She's looking pretty solid so far.
Cilic will probably go up early and then squander it like usual.
Pull it together Aga :/

Easier said than done. He's looking like the favorite to win Wimbledon.

Why in the flying fuck was not the roof not put on during the first delay???

It was but they opened it again, which is fair enough given that they try to keep it outdoors as much as possible.
She'll probably get bageled this set
Pretty embarrassing for the No. 4 in the world. She should hire a new couch, it just doesn't work anymore with Wiktorowski.
How is that fair enough? You know what's more important than playing tennis outdoors? Playing tennis at all. Surely satellites will show the next immediate rainfall that's going to come down within the next hour, right?

Don't know what was going on with Radwanska today. Totally lifeless performance, and with such a big opportunity. Damn.
It's England. There is always immediate rainfall.

I had a dream that Bouchard was playing Sharapova, and they went to a ridiculously long third set (double digits). Can't remember who won though.
Interesting thought, though I can't say I agree. I mean, she's not looking as terrible as she has most of the last year (or two), but calling her the "favorite" is a stretch at this point, IMO.
Personally, I think these four women are the combo "faves" at the moment: Halep, Sharapova, Bouchard, Lisicki.
That said, Kvitova *almost* seems like a lock for the final given the (awful) condition of her half of the draw, while the four ladies above are going to have to claw their way to the final by climbing over the corpses of the rest of their half of the draw, so maybe I should reconsider what I just said
One more thing: I'm kind of shocked so many people want Lisicki to win. I wanted her to win last year, but then she became a bit full of herself and absolutely choked in the final. Also, she went on to do pretty much nothing at any other tournament for the next year.
So, although I probably won't cheer against her should she reach the final, I also can't say I'm hoping she makes it there.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
i wonder what goes through someone's mind during a rain delay when they're a set and 0-5 down.
Lisicki never has and probably never will do well at any other tournament. Her season basically starts at the Birmingham International and ends when she's out of Wimbledon. Grass is by far her best surface.
As for why people like her, well, for me it's the fact she's quite clearly loving every moment of playing tennis. She's always smiling on the court, no matter the situation. Add in her comeback from horrible injury story, and her tendency to take some huge scalps at Wimbledon, and it's hard not to like her.

Murray has ro be a ratings loser. Espn hasn't mentioned him at all today and they won't show his match even though it is the only live tennis.
Well, yes, of course grass is her best surface. I guess what I meant earlier is that there's no reason that she shouldn't do at least somewhat well on other surfaces, too. The fact that she and her coach(es) haven't been able to bring even a smidge of consistency to her game on other surfaces is beyond disappointing for me.
Other than that, though, I actually quite like her. I'm not going to root for her to get to the final, though, as I don't want to have to watch another choke-fest this year. I'd much rather see Bouchard or Halep get their maiden GS wins, or Sharapova get her 2nd Wimbledon title.
