I don’t have to imagine. I was doing it when he was playing Gulbis on Saturday. Interminable it was.

It would be cool if Ostapenko won every slam until Serena starts playing again.

Rafa getting Mullered alert

#396

Wake me up when he’s two sets down

#397

It’d be funny if Querrey and Anderson went to 72-70 in the fifth and neither could play again all year.

#398

It’d be so funny if Nadal, Djokovic and Federer all went out today.

Oof!

I guess it would mean that more of the women’s matches will be on Centre & 1, too…

I’ve started doing a little fist pump every time I serve a pint today, quite fun really. COME ON TIM.

Not really, given that they all will be now anyway.

I presume that there’s been some controversy over the scheduling today? If so it’s hard to see why. If they’d scheduled all matches containing a top four seed then it would just have involved switching Venus v Konju and Konta v Garcia off and Kerber v Muguruza and Halep v Azarenka on. Instead they went with everyone who’s ever won the tournament on the two main courts, plus the great British hope. And that’s what the people paying for those tickets are paying for. Mystic Meg couldn’t have predicted that Kerber and Muguruza would have played a decent match, but frankly today’s Court Two schedule takes me back to the last time I went, when similarly the lineup was for the tennis connoisseurs rather than the big game hunters.

Also: man the fuck up Gilles.

#404

Hate when the crowd gets really behind someone who is obviously winning very easily.

Come on roger! Let’s go!!! You’re two sets up!!!

#405

Federer fans = glory hunters. They just want to see him win. They aren’t even bothered if he makes much of an effort.

#406

He is amazing though tbf.

He can be, but I find it really dull when he just plays within himself.

By which I mean that I am absolutely desperate that he and Murray make the final and he dishes out the same sort of absolute pasting he did two years ago of course :wink:

Dimitrov’s nickname should now be adjusted to “Baby Berdych”.
