Still got the magic though, when she’s got her mad up. She’ll lose to the first top quality player, but gotta take it one step at a time I guess. [NB just realised that’s probably either Pliskova or… gulp Sharapova.]
Still trying to get my head around having to take Isner and Anderson seriously as players.
both seem to be peaking in their 30s, worried Isner’s still gonna be knocking at 39 like Karlovic, still being hyped by Americans and then losing in the 3rd round of every slam. got faith in Delpo to take him out here if neither of them lose on saturday
Last couple of sets were sharp enough considering where she’s at, missed the first round so assuming that first set was just an aberration
Yeah she’s a bit sluggish, but… she still packs heaps of welly, still serves like a rocket and still makes shots others can’t. I think a good, intelligent, consistent player will find a way through (let’s face it even Barty managed it for periods when she could hit hard), but the magic’s still there if she can get a bit more nimble over the next few months.
not sure why but i quite like Karlovic whereas Isner can absolutely do one.
saw Karlovic play at Wimbledon one year against some tiny Belgian guy and it was just so unfair, had a couple of aces that seemed to just bounce over the Belgian guy’s head 
mens draw has been fun this year eh
first slam in forever where the first few rounds on the mens side have been watchable
yeah i don’t mind big Ivo
thought Dzumhur had choked this away but Zverev is choking even harder
Kyle’s got a long way to go to become the new Tim.
Me: “The Edmund - Fognini match has gone to a fifth set.”
The tv: “Who’s he playing?”
some Ostapenko 2017 vibes about Kontaveit this clay swing, don’t think there’s any shame in Kvitova losing to her.
Pliskova was shite tho, other than this point
Sharapova’s playing really well. as much as i want Serena to beat her if they meet, excited about the prospect a match between them where there’s some actual uncertainty about the outcome
shame that one of Goffin and Monfils has to lose 
Zverev into his first slam QF, could not have made more of a meal of it if he tried
third straight win from 2 sets to 1 down
Assume this must be Steve “Interesting” Darcis in 2009, a right tiddler at a mere 5’10" 
Darcis principally known for an amusing profile photo on the ATP website which made him look like a boiled egg with an ear missing
found it
oh yes and also amusingly dumping Nadal out of Wimbledon in the first round in 2013.
Got to think he’s going to pay the price for all that court time eventually.
Olivier Rochus was 5’5" !
They never played at Wimbledon though, but they did at Nottingham. Rochus had the edge in the H2H 2-1.
yeah I was just remembering out loud
shame the being small thing isn’t working out so well for Schwartzman here
Kasatkina’s game is delightful
love watching her win those cat and mouse points against Wozniacki every time
she’s beaten her 3x this year now 
possibly - maybe he just seemed small compared to Karlovic? i remember feeling sorry for him as he barely had a chance of getting the ball back, let alone winning or anything
wonder which random will beat Nadal early on at Wimbledon this year. what’s Rosol up to nowadays?
Assuming Nadal does make it through to the semis that match could be several shades of interesting. Likely JMDP, Cilic or Foggy if he gets there and they could all give him quite a test. That said you wouldn’t be surprised to see Fognini tank it, Cilic just not turn up and Juan Martin to lose a leg or something in the first set.
