Shameless product placement in the BBC liveblog, there. At least it wasn't the usual "Murray Mint" gag.

 

[MIMIC]

isn't that a default? or is that only if you do it in anger?

Only if in anger (or not part of the rally, then it's at the umpire's discretion). Otherwise, a LOT of people would be in trouble.

Reminds me of the time when Djoker almost knocked out a ball girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXvW7f8Q1U0

He hit her in the face so hard, her hat came off. lol

Azarenka's grunt is surpassing Sharapova's now as the most annoying, my god.

 

[clemenx]

Seeing Ovechkin on a Tennis court is hilarious to me for some reason.

 

[killer_clank]

rain's getting heavier.

 

[aronnov reborn]

damnit. Fish was playing great too.

 

[Machine Messiah]

Azarenka's grunt is surpassing Sharapova's now as the most annoying, my god.

In my mind it's always been that way. Sharapova's I've never really had a problem with, but wow, Azarenka, it's like not even a grunt at this point. It's some kind of screaming bird of prey...

yup, suspended

Azarenka's grunt is surpassing Sharapova's now as the most annoying, my god.

I am positive players like Sharapova, Azarenka, Cadantu and Jovanovski developed their shrieks deliberately ever since they (or their junior coaches) found out Seles' grunts bothered her opponents and they couldn't do anything about it and use it as a blatant gamesmanship tactic. I refuse to believe such breathing techniques are natural.

WHAT? Where is he? What is he doing? D:

 

[clemenx]

WHAT? Where is he? What is he doing? D:

He's Maria Kirilienko's boyfriend. He was carryin her bags as she was leaving the court.

 

[agrajag]

dat gap

 

[szaromir]

He's Maria Kirilienko's boyfriend. He was carryin her bags as she was leaving the court.

Not that it's my business or anything, why can't he put a synthetic tooth? Makes him look quite hilarious. Well he still has a hot gf.

[aronnov reborn]

so what's the weather report? are we done for the day except for centre court?

 

[Speevy]

RIP

 

[agrajag]

headshot

 

[MIMIC]

BOOM! headshot

 

[szaromir]

I hope her eye is OK though. The ball could completely smash it.

 

[Jrmint]

Any upsets yet today?

 

[Akito]

Any upsets yet today?

Sharapova lost in straight sets but she also played like shit.

 

[MIMIC]

Azarenka's wailing under the roof >_< Holy shit, that hurts my ears

 

[szaromir]

Sharapova lost in straight sets but she also played like shit.

As usual. Sabine strangely did not get intimidated by that banshee noise.

 

[jett]

wow any news regarding this

 

[Akito]

Azarenka's outfit is such a turn-off

 

[agrajag]

Complete a grand slam, lose in straight sets at Wimbledon. lol

 

[Frankfurter]

I want Ivanovic to win so much. I just can't stand the sounds that Azarenka makes...

Unfortunately Ivanovic doesn't play all that well :/

 

[Speevy]

They should let viewers vote on the matches to be played under the closed roof.

I wanted Delpo/Ferrer.

 

[Hootie]

glad to hear federgod is on to the quarterfinals, but tennis.com said he was battling a back injury?? when did that happen?

 

[Parch]

The grunters are so annoying. I think the networks have finally learned to turn down the volume on the court mics to stifle the female grunters instead of emphasizing it.

 

[helloresolven]

Bird doesn't approve of Azarenka's grunting.

 

[jett]

I can't stand the grunting either. Where's that crazy umpire calling hindrance when you need her? :lol

 

[Vivalaraza]

Statement of intent from Azarenka. Ana is nothing special these days but that was a battering.

 

[lucius]

Not much of a match, so is Murray match coming up?

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Ana. :'(

 

[mcfrank]

Not much of a match, so is Murray match coming up?

Djoker is coming up under the roof. Murray is rain delayed on court 1 against Cilic.

 

[tycoonheart]

Ana. :'(

I know that feel bro.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I know that feel bro.

She's still cute

 

[Machine Messiah]

Djoko vs. Troicki is the only match on right now? =(((((((((((

edit: back to back breaks...they're just screwing with each other because they're best buds, lol

 

[aronnov reborn]

just hoping the rain stops. would love to see the end of the Fish - Tsonga match.

 

[Saty]

put on a fight, at least.

 

[tycoonheart]

Novak's putting on a show.

 

[Vivalaraza]

If Murray can manage to finish (and win) his match by the end of today he'll be happy pushing Ferrer and Del Potro back to tmrw. That game itself could be a slugfest and the winner may well have no rest ahead of a QF.

Del Potro having rest is huge because he is prone to exhaustion (probably because of his size). Ferrer always makes matches 5 sets long, so if Del Potro wins, it's a safe bet he's going to be "gassed" before the QF if he doesn't get a day's rest like Murray.

IT'S A FIX!!!!!!!!

 

[MIMIC]

Novak is rolling. Surely they'll be able to put another match on CC if he finishes early

 

[Vivalaraza]

Yep, but which match? Move Murray over or get DelPo started? Probs get DelPo's match going...

Nole looks awesome, can't see anybody stopping him here.

forget that. move Baker over from court 12!

Cancel Murray's match outright and put Delpo on =p

I think the rule of thumb is that matches should not be moved to different courts once they started? Though I wouldn't be surprised if Murray got special treatment.

 

[John Dunbar]

If some match does get moved, which I doubt, shouldn't it be Gasquet vs. Mayer? The winner of that one will be playing Djokovic, so would be fair they get roughly equal rest time.
