Bouchard is basically a better Rebecca Marino at this point.

The female Donald Young. They should play Mixed Doubles together
I wouldnt be surprised if she announces the same thing this year...if she goes down in the first round at Wimbledon,she might call it quits for this year...Tennis is not the only problem I am sure...sometimes I think she plays a great set,like she played last year,and then gets bageled playing like her ''new'' coach is teaching her,just to make a point...lol
Raonic beats Gasquet....30 aces for Raonic,some over 140 m/h....damn.
Yeah a bit of a letdown after yesterday.
Still, there's life in the old Dog yet.
Lisicki is going to destroy in the grass season.
Hopefully
I think it is a new womens record.
That is a lot on the women's side no...? 27...? damn.

It's always the way, though, isn't it? You slay a giant and lose to a midget the very next day. The dude that knocked out Federer in the second (or was it third?) round of Wimbledon a few years ago played grass court tennis from the gods that day; the next? plays like a toxic, bubbling shit with a tennis racquet flailing from his diarrheatic, flaccid hands.
Yep, I'm especially bitter about that one
Here's the video.
I really hope she can finally translate her excellent grass court skills into winning Wimbledon. But more likely she'll go beat Serena and Maria and other giants again, then lose to some first time qualifier in the final.

I've not seen Lopez in action yet. That was such a fantastic final last year; gutted to see him blow it, but nonetheless, what a match. Isner vs. Lopez should be enjoyable today.

Who is going to be Dimitrov's coach after Wimbledon?
Let's not kid ourselves. Wimbledon is Petra's to lose.

Pretty high quality tennis on display today. Great serving and some really entertaining tie-breaks. Pity about Lopez, though.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
being down a break against karlovic in a deciding set must be pretty scary.

what happened to halep to get bageled in the second?
A bitter day for me. Back in March I bought tickets for the quarters and the semis in Halle (so today and tomorrow), but due to health problems I decided to sell them last week. My condition has improved this week to the point where travelling and staying on the stadium for the entire day would be possible. On the upside, I made 60 on those tickets.
Ah well, I'll have an excuse to travel to Basel in October

What happened to him?

Laura Robson's comeback didn't go too well. She lost today 6-0, 6-1 to Gavrilova

8 Halle Opens, nice.
Wonder if he could've beaten a healthy Nishikori though.

Wimbledon qualifying starts today. The qualifying tournament doesn't even take place at Wimbledon. I presume that's because Wimbledon organizers want fresh virgin grass on day 1. Grass not tainted by dirty qualifyers from the days before

Seems logical for court quality, the baselines always get worn down quick even in the first week. Looking forward to this Wimbledon starting, with 5 Aussies in the top 100 now staying up to watch the matches is more worthwhile.
While it could have gone either way I find it strange that you wonder if he 'could have won'. He's ranked no 2 for a reason.
They should even organize the first rounds outside of Wimbledon. And only the final on Centre Court (partly joking).

Serena also stars in the Mocumentary 7 Days in Hell that premiers in a couple of weeks on HBO. Looks absolutely hysterical.
Two handers, educate yoselves on the superior backhand fools

One handed backhand for life. My young kids are already working on theirs now
Too bad it's my forehand that's flakey

Seriously, that looks fucking horrible. I'd rather watch Francis Taifoe play or Alexa Glatch serve than watch that. Uuuggggghhhhh.

The draw comes out tomorrow I think, probably best to wait on the OT until then.
He sacrifices himself for Murray's 3rd slam.
Such a noble waste of a sacrifice.
I'm kidding. I really have no idea who will win Wimbledon.
