Incredible match between Aga and Cibulkova. Shame someone had to lose. Maybe next year, Aga, maybe next year...

Querry not losing is surprising.

Nice win? Mahut is like a grandpa. I mean, I know he's a grass-specialist but even so...
How often have we seen a terrible match from somebody who pulls off a big upset?
John Dunbar
correct about everything
querrey has ascended to godhood. doubt him at your peril.

It'd have to be really terrible to lose to Mahut. Even Isner didn't manage that
eventually

It's okay, when Murray loses y'all get to make Brexit jokes.

Tomic never loses, he just decides he has better things to do with his time.

Wow Raonic came back from 2-0 and didn't play a single tiebreak.

Kyrgios being Kyrgios.
Yup. And Tomic is out. Maybe Millman and Kokkinakis at the Olympics isn't such a bad thing.

That's heartbreaking for Gasquet. I love Tsonga and wanted him to advance (even if he might prove a tougher test for Murray) but not like that.
Hope his back injury isn't too bad.

I'd actually favour Tsonga as a matchup for Murray vs peak Gasquet.

Jeez - Kyrgios on robot insta serve mode. If he does that then it's a sign he's wilting.

That's what I meant!
Unless you mean that Gasquet would be a tougher opponent for Murray in which case...ignore me!
EDIT - Krygios has basically given up now. That missed drop shot late in the first has utterly crushed him.
Time for him to get a coach?

Venus and Serena are the last Americans standing on the womens side. Just like old times. Hopefully one day the other Americans start to rise up but we've been waiting for years.
that's a...pretty accurate description
Inverdale and McEnroe commentating on the BBC were very similar.

Had to listen to the radio before I could watch sets 2 and 3 of Murray's match but I enjoyed Vassos Alexander asking Pat Cash and Tim Henman what their biggest ever fines were (given Krygios's form this tournament) and then suggesting if it was the time Henman was disqualified from Wimbledon completely...!

Vesely and Berdych were unable to finish. 5th set will be tomorrow

Him interrupting play at 6-1 threw Vesely off his rhythm, though, so what comes around goes around.

Also, Lahyani is a great umpire, and I think goes underappreciated. The call at 8-9 was incredible in that pressure in that lighting with a top player present, absolutely great sense of judgement.
It was the same for me (although it sounds like I got home a bit earlier than you so started watching TV earlier!); I heard the chat about Henman hitting the ball girl by accident, at least.
Also amused by Henman's huffiness over "Murray Mount"!

For my money Murray's demolition of Kyrgios was just about the best match of his career in terms of the intensity and relentless standard of play. Hardly missed a shot all match - Nadal is his prime would've been happy with 6 UEs in three sets. Kyrgios though, after he missed the volley at 5-6, 30-40 to lose the first set, completely rolled over mentally. Never believed for a moment he had a comeback in him.
One match at a time and all that, but Federer v Murray final looks very likely.

If Scotland does indeed leave the UK after Brexit, I think Murray has mentioned he would choose to represent Scotland over England. If that happens then Henman Hill's namesake will be safe.
Damn unlucky Tomic
Good Wimbledon run for the lad. A really positive, professional outing despite the slip of the tongue.
Can't say the same for Kyrgios He really has to learn to stop letting external factors affect his behaviour. Tomic went through the same shit to a lesser degree so I have faith.
This Pouille guy has some gas in the tank. Lets see what he can do with his momentum.
