I cling on to hope way too long for some of these players.
As Peru will testify, I'm still waiting on a Vaidisova comeback.

Watched the Gasquet match, it was awesome. Gasquet is such an oddity, but so good.

Bouchard is still around, which is freaking awesome.
Indeed. She is very pretty. Kirilenko will be missed though.
Also, I noticed Nike is pushing Bouchard as a young Sharapova.

Got a ground pass and saw some of Kohli vs Dodig and Raonic vs Berlocq while seeing all of Chardy vs Harrison. Then went to the ticket resale office and got Court 1 tickets for Berdych vs Klizan and Lisicki vs Schiavone which were located on the front row!
Last year I got CC front row tickets and this year I got C1 front row tickets, I guess I'm pretty lucky!
As for other results I'm a fan of both Robson and Kirilenko but I'm glad Laura won as she definitely needed this a lot more, hopefully she can build on this draw. No real upsets though which is a part shame. Looking forward to Tsonga vs Gulbis tomorrow.

I ventured to Wimbledon after work with a colleague this evening to try and get ground passes. Got there about 18:00 and there must of been 2000 people in front of us and they had a "one in, one out" policy. The steward told us it would be a minimum of two hours before we got in.
Disappointed as hell.

You guys head about Fed's shoes getting banned? lol
They look great though.
Wut? Whatever the reason for?

Wimbledon rules forbidding loud colours. Though they usually have to approve the kits before the tournament so I dunno...
Wimbledon is traditional for only accepting white clothes.
But yeah this is dumb imo. Sharapovas underwear is orange. Will it be banned too? LoL
This is clearly Nikes making for people to see the shoes.
Selected history of banhammer at Wimbledon
‘Gorgeous Gussie’ Moran, 1949
Her risqué short dress and lace knicker combination brought a damning admonishment from the All-England Club who claimed she had brought ‘vulgarity and sin into tennis’.
Anne White, 1985
Pat Cash, 1987

But... it's a sole of a shoe....
I mean, maybe if it's the color of the shoes themselves but it's only the sole...
Pics, brah.
Lol called it; Court 17 today.
At least it has cameras on the court

Federer tonight! YEAH! Come on King Roger!
John Dunbar
correct about everything
uh oh, Isner retired at 1-1 in the first set.
...is that the shortest wimbledon match? probably someone has retired quicker, but would be interesting if he had the longest and the shortest match.

Don't know if it counts as a wimbledon match, but women's Olympics final last year must have been shorter.
Lucic-Baroni is a beast on grass, such a wasted talent.

Darcis has withdrawn lol, he won't even get the chance to go down in straight sets on Court 18.
John Dunbar

if he pulls this off, i'm jumping on the DB bandwagon (until he has to play federer).

Whats up with players retiring in the middle of the game in this Grandslam?!
Nope, yesterday all of Philipp, Pella, and Oprandi retired during the game.

Dustin Brown is ridiculous

of course other players have retired. i said the shortest match. all of the ones you mentioned retired during the last set (men in the fifth, oprandi in the third). isner retired after the second game of the match, having being injured in the first.
Man, with Isner and Nadal out, that part of the draw COMPLETELY opened up. Now I wanna see him play at Centre Court against Fed.

Whaaaaat, that's really disappointing to see Darcis withdraw.

Brown is just killing Hewitt!
There's been a zombie outbreak today in London and all the players who withdrew today are infected.
