I've just started watching the Karlovic game which is 10-9 in the 5th set. I wonder how many aces he has served so far.

Dolgopolov must be a nightmare to coach, you feel he just plays on pure instinct and if it clicks, so be it. I hope he can beat the giant serve-bot though.

51 aces so far for the big man.

 

[SALTIRE]

Bollocks, Karlovic won.

Two rounds down and we're all going pretty well:

Team name Points (overall) Points (men's team) Points (women's team)
SteKrazy 841 501 340
Baker's Boys 814 432 382
Mark's SW19 stars 804 449 355
Servebot 789 416 373
Best Served Cold 784 429 355
Wilson's wonders 783 458 325
I'm tired and can't think of a name 711 402 309


5th in the overall mini league standings also. I'd say SteKrazy is the big favourite with his team selection though whilst Mike looks like he could drop down a bit.

We could be even higher I reckon as they haven't updated Brown's or Dolgopolov's points from today yet. Lopez has really let me down, he had a cakewalk to R4 and he's arsed it up.

To be 5th as a group in the whole game is pretty immense though!

 

[SALTIRE]

Haha this looks dreadful and I want to see it!

 

[The Iron]

Good luck to Watson winning the game today, but the only thing i can see her winning is the coin toss

 

[Master D]

Annoying today as there's some very good matches on at the same time.

Dimitrov v Gasquet on centre court at Wimbledon, it doesn't get more watchable than that. Wawrinka should have far too much for Verdasco who has played 2 epic matches already this week. Also Kyrios v Raonic is a close one to call. Cilic v Isner too.

Then I hope Djokovic crushes Tomic really badly later on.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Can anyone tell me what the point of Milos Raonic is?

Dimitrov v Gasquet is a good match so far, Gasquet a break up but Dimitrov is growing into it.

 

[The Iron]

Raonic is so boring and all serve where as Kyrgios is one of the best characters in the game. I really hope Kyrgios can beat him, but so far not looking likely.

yeeeeeeees get in come on Kyrgios

 

[Munkiki]

Kyrgios beats Raonic in four

He beat Gasquet here last year after going 2 sets down. Could make the quarters for a second straight year?

 

[Master D]

Think something was up injury wise with Raonic, but Kyrios hammered him off court to be honest. He could reach the SF here I reckon, I can see him beating Gasquet next and then maybe Wawrinka after that.

 

[Super_horns]

Not many competitive games so far and Anderson is going well against Mayer.

Dimitrov really is another player who has falling badly this season.

 

[Leewilson]

Had Raonic in the fantasy game as I thought he was going to serve his way through his quarter. Mind you, for entertainment purposes, I'm glad he's out. I agree that I think Kyrgios now may well reach the semis.

 

[SALTIRE]

Good luck Watson against the beast you're going to need it!

 

[The Iron]

Well she has won her opening service game which will give her a confidence boost. Go Heather.

 

[TractorBoys]

YES HEATHER.

3-2 and a break up in the second set.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Break point to Watson..

Come on....YES!!!!!! GO Heather!

 

[Munkiki]

She'll still lose obviously but glad she got a break.

Every time I've seen Serena play this year she's looked fed up or on the verge of tears. She close to retiring?

 

[Gashead]

Right, now it's game on!

Before it looked a little bit like girl vs woman the difference was that great, but if Watson can take the game to Williams things might get interesting.

 

[TractorBoys]

Sign of a champion breaking straight back there. Enjoyable second set so far like, nothing between them.

 

[Super_horns]

Had Benic and Keys in my orginal selections for the TFF - should have kept them.

 

[The Iron]

Watson has been awesome so far in this second set, and whatever happens from here she can be very pleased with the way she has played.

 

[TractorBoys]

Became a huge hold when we got to deuce there. She's getting bites at Serena's serve...

 

[The Iron]

Serena's reaction when she wins a point says it all really. She knows how hard she is being made to work by Watson.

 

[Gashead]

Fantastic stuff, c'mon Heather

 

[TractorBoys]

FANTASTIC.

 

[DarkSithLord]

GO HEATHER!!

 

[Master D]

Stunning effort from Watson.
