Would be crazy if Radwanska and Wozniaki go their entire careers without a slam
John Dunbar
correct about everything
when was the last time tsonga won against a top player?
Her best chance was here last year I think.
Federer at the French Open last year I think. Not that that was really impressive considering Roger's 2013.
So this piece of shit organization insists on an arbitrary day off mid-tournament even with weather issues because 'tradition' even though no one, TV, audience, players, likes it and it actively makes for worse tennis, unfair dis/advantages for certain players, lots of 'will I play, won't I play' stress etc etc. In this case Bouchard will rest while others sweat it out.

Tough luck for Sharapova. 3 matches in 3 days will be rough. They could have moved them to center court after the Djokovic/Tsonga match, but then I remembered they have an 11pm curfew because the busses don't run past 11pm for the fans to get home. So, more than likely Sharapova's match wouldn't finish anyway since its already past 8pm and Djokovic/Tsonga are still in the 2nd set.
Gotta love the Wimbledon organizers! Best slam my ass

Actually, I don't think mental toughness is her problem, or at least not her main/only problem. In my mind, her main issue is that she really doesn't have a response to players who bully her. Sure, her game can work against them if they make too many UFEs, but if they're on and hitting more winners than errors, she's got no reply. And that's not going to change -- unless she adds some MPHs to her serve (doubtful) or her groundstrokes (also doubtful).
BTW, in response to the drama surrounding the postponement of the Sharapova-Kerber match -- I guess the "good" news is that, aside from Bouchard, the other ladies in that half of the draw will have to play/win three matches over three days to reach the final, too. So, should Sharapova and, say, Lisicki make their way to the SF in a few days, both will be equally tired. That's kind of getting ahead of ourselves, though, if you ask me!

Djokovic through in straights

Nole's serve is scary on big moments. That placement is just right on point.
As long as Nole and Andy don't tire out each other too much, one of them is taking it for sure. However if their semi goes 5 and Rafa breezes through his semi, and scheduling means playing back to back days, then Nadal has a good shot.
Nole maybe but I can't see Murray beating Nadal here. Hopefully Murray doesn't take out Nole before the final. I want to see an epic final.
Their last 6 meetings @GS tournaments:
I predict a 3-0 for Nadal if Federer manages to defeat Wawrinka.
Combos are meant to be broken
It would be great for Federer to just get one more win against Nadal on a major stage, if only to just get that load off his mind. I don't think it will happen, but at the very least I'd love to see a competitive match between them in which Fed doesn't melt down with loads of unforced errors over the course of ~15 points.

Kvitova - Strycova 3rd match on Center tomorrow according to the order of play. WHAT.

Raonic/Nishikori is on Court 3 at the same time, which to me looks like a great match in the making so I don't get that decision. Well, I suppose they give Kvitova high billing due to her being a former champion and all.
if Fed is to beat him, this is the GS he has the best chance of doing this on.
"For sure," huh? I always love it when people say such things. I mean, yes, it's possible - maybe even likely -- that Djokovic or Murray could beat Nadal in the final, should any of them get that far, but to say there's no doubt about it is ... interesting, IMO.
Personally, I say that if Nadal gets through his next two rounds, it's extremely possible he'll win the whole thing. That's saying a lot, though, as he could lose either of those matches.
Yeah, I hope it turns out well, but I think Nishikori will have to play a bit better than he has so far. Raonic has looked pretty solid.
Agreed.
Wow, that Novak match was surprisingly routine. I saw some of Murray's match (came in when the roof was being closed). Murray reminds me a lot of myself, in that he anticipates the ball really well and always makes his opponent play that one extra shot. I can totally see why Murray pushes (but I instinctively can't play like that)
And speaking of me playing tennis, I played FIVE back-to-back sets of tennis today (doubles, and won 4 of them). The only reason I played so much was because when you win the set, you're "obligated" to play the next team. After my last set thought I was going to die. It literally took me about 15 minutes to get out of my car, lol.

When is the GAF open? Seriously someone just wire me $1000 for travel expenses and board and I'm there. Me and Rafa=Fedkilla can take on MIMIC and Niraj in the doubles final
He's a lot like you.
Only weirdos like him.
Just kidding.
Let me know so I know when to start my cyc...I mean...so I can train.
I was pissed too until I saw she will open CC tomorrow. Its the only match I can watch so I am happy.
Kidding aside, three matches in a row will be tough as hell (considering she is through of course). Hopefully she wont waste much energy against Kerber. x_x

Ew, I hate Murray, lol
But he's extremely quick...and I admire that. Most of my opponents usually say that I'm the fastest person they've played. I know what it's like to piss off an opponent because they can never drop shot you
But back to the pros:

Bouchard is legit.
It was an odd moment, but she is clearly injured.
