WIMBLEDON 2014

Nadal did play really well to break again in the 3rd - expecting to pull through now.

Bouchard about to start in court 1

ugh Sweta lost to De Brito??

Bepa ;o

just saw that Victoria Duval won ^_^

Had an excellent day yesterday, much better than the overcrowded and stressful day I had in 2013. Not sure why the crowds seemed less intense this year but grateful for it. Report - http://unforcederrani.tumblr.com/post/89847620832/wimbledon-2014-report-day-2

Virginia Wade is so pressed about how rich, successful and likeable Li Na is.

stakhovsky took the first set against gulbis, pretty cool match

Nara playing really well vs Venus

I post that and she immediately loses six points in a row from 4-1 up in the TB, ugh

...and Gulbis goes down a break in the second. Def thought this might be an upset with Gulbis struggling so much vs Zopp in R1

I don't know or care much about the actual tennis but who are the hottest female players to look out for this year?

Virginia Wade

Stakhovsky celebrates the one-year anniversary of his Federer upset by upsetting the man who upset Federer at RG. I wish we didn't know Stakhovsky was a dick, he doesn't seem like it on court

Is Bepa really serious about this comeback? I thought she'd abandoned it...

A-Rad does her best to choke set 1 v Casey Delinquent but ultimately can't...starts set 2 better and you already have the impression CD is hanging on for dear life.

Stakhovsky is fun to watch on a fast court, good to see him defending his points.

my god this bepa match is hilariously awful

Actually, the Radwanska/Dellacqua match started out really well, the first four games were wonderful. Then Dellacqua was horrible for a few games, then Radwanska was horrible for a few games, and then the default asserted itself.

If Bepa loses this I think we can be sure she's done.

She fought through

Bepa looked psychotic at the handshake and she _won_. If she'd lost, I reckon the entire crowd would have run in terror.

Murray monstering some poor sod called Rola (R-O-L-A Rola)

Tuning in just to see Chardy choke against that twat Matosevic -_-

The local tissues have got 'behind' Marinko lately, telling us what a good fellow he is, not at all the obnoxious clot we'd all assumed.... spose yeah, he is Likeable Simon from Get Smart next to the likes of Tomic.

Matosevic is a bit of a dick, but I did kind of have sympathy for him when his "supporters" kept calling him a nickname he has previously said he hates. Ugh, the tendency to assume that people are OK with nicknames shits me no end, so I felt for him for that one moment. Not at other times!

chardy/matosevic are hitting some massive groundstrokes

I LOVE YOU FOREVER PETRA, PLEASE WIN

So much frustration rn. Kuznetsov played so well at the end of that set and blew 4 SPs only for Ferrer to outgrind him in the TB. Then you have Chardy choking every BP opportunity against Matosevic, who is even more dislikeable than Tomic because he doesn't even have the excuse of a fucked-up family, only to tamely surrender his own serve. UGHHHHH

Matosevic declaring that he's no politically correct = warning sign of the worst type of human in existence. TWAT

YASSSSSSS Chardy won anyway and Matosevic is out

and Kuznetsov was just inspired to peak even higher in the second set :D

I'd never watched Kuznetsov play before, how is he ranked outside the top 100? Such lovely groundstrokes.

I've been high on his game for a while, saw him in qualies a few years ago. Have assumed that despite his awesome groundstrokes, it's his relatively slight build holding him back from really establishing himself in the top 100

Was he skinnier before? His game reminds me of Cilic a bit.

Yeah...he's still skinny compared to most of the top men though (and without the height of a Raonic or Delpo or Cilic to compensate). Similar to Goffin's problem, really

Kuznetsov practically hobbling but refusing to go away... nice. Think Ferrer might still take it though.

Aahh excellent net approach and Kuznetsov breaks to open the fifth!

fearless stuff

Some peak Berdych FHs in that TB

Q. Obviously England football is out of the World Cup now. Do you feel you are now giving British sports fans something to cheer about?

ANDY MURRAY: No. I'm here to do my thing. I don't think that the English football team get asked about me in their press conferences. So I'd appreciate it if that wasn't brought up when I was playing because I'm yet to hear Wayne Rooney talk about my matches at Wimbledon. I don't think it's fair.
THE MODERATOR: I agree.

:D

Every time I think Kuznetsov's out of gas he's come back, but Ferrer's defence is JUST SO TOUGH

Huge returns and Kuznetsov will serve for the match! Loving this.

like. a. boss.

Terrific upset. Limping to the net even!

Did not expect having choked from 4-1 vs Azza that at 4-4 30-30 it'd be BoJo to smack that awesome FH winner

BoJo also holds an epic service game at 5-5...

LMAO, 46 76 76 61 is such a Tomic scoreline to lose by

Jovanovski's mental peak, those last two games. Props.

currently rooting for Smitkova

Smitkova is GREAT. Saw her in qualies, she absolutely smacks the ball. Should be ranked a lot higher than she is.

She took the first set against Coco, thank god
