What an utterly pathetic match that was from Murray. Doubt it'll take much out of him though, so hopefully Clayray can be reborn in R2.

Murray being a lucky netcord and one further error away from losing to a living fossil will make it that more satisfying when he #slays Djokovic in the final.
No PopGAF in here please.
Please.
I was just about to post that Invanovic survived R1 at least but that's not so clear anymore lol.

Stepanek fought so hard for the first four holds of the final set, fending off BP after BP, that I suspected he was going to pull it off, especially when he got to Deuce on Murray's serve at 5-4*. Funny how so many epic matches like that have one crucial shot that swings momentum away right when the victory line looked to be in reach (meaning Stepanek's backhand in the net to end that long rally at Deuce, after which he collapsed).
Kerber pulled a dodgy MTO when Bertens led 3-0 in the third. Glad that didn't change the match completely. First big seed to go out in either draw (I wouldn't count Dimitrov or Pliskova, Cilic is arguable, Vinci was in dire form with injuries).
Coric easily won the battle of young guns between him and Fritz. Certainly won't be their last meeting.
Nice to see my favourite young Russian, Darya Kasatkina, negotiate a tough opening match against Friedsam in her first RG. She was supposed to run into Kerber in R3, but that won't happen now, so there's a big opportunity to reach her first R4 at a Slam, in only her third. Same can be said, of course, for Kiki Bertens, who's never been beyond R2 herself, or Camila Giorgi, although she did reach the 2nd week at Wimbledon once.

I mean the surface area of the roof will be roughly 4 times larger than the one on Centre Court.
Here's what the cover looks like inside Centre Court
and here's what needs to be covered on Ashe
According to wiki, Arthur Ashe's retractable roof will use 210,000 sq. ft. of PTFE material.
For Centre Court the total area of the roof when fully deployed is 5,200 m2
I can't find the "fully deployed" area for Arthur Ashe on wiki

Don't sleep on Knapp. She's putting Azarenka to bed right now.
Also is anyone watching beauty and the beast I mean Hesse v. Townsend?

Robson is still a shadow of her former self. She peaked 4 years ago and hasn't been the same since her injury. Brits have moved on to supporting Konta, and soon they will be fans of Katie Swan.

I feel sorry for Robson. She had genuine potential to be a world-class player and a slam-winner, now she's a Del Potro but without the slam.

so Timea will get Bouchard in round 2? how hard did she fall down the rankings?

Bouchard is just inside the top 50 at 46. She was outside the top 50 around the start of this year.
Damn,I would of wished anyone except Timea,she gets Bouchard so frustrated...bad feeling about this one.
What about that Shelby Rodgers,into R3.
EDIT: Oooops,Kvitova next though.
Looking good so far...but not enough.

Murray doesn't look well. He's not even chuntering at the box like he normally does, he just looks weirdly drained.

Imagine Murray winning the entire tournament with every match going to 5 sets.
