Wimbledon 2019 (1st July - 14th July)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Due to the grass seedings Federer is seeded number 2 for this.

Anderson is seeded 4.

Djokovic has Kohlschreiber first up which must be one of the toughest first round draws a number one seed has faced for some time.

Nadal is on Federer's side of the draw, Nadal starts with Sugita, though he could face Kyrgios in the second round.

Federer has Harris. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic broken straight away. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Though he does break straight back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic won 6-3 7-5 7-3.

Gauff, a 15 year old has dumped out Venus 6-4 6-4. :bow:

[GP]

Venus :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Fed beat Harris 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-2.

Nadal beat Sugita 6-3 6-1 6-3. He will indeed play Kyrgios next. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm off work now for the remainder of this. :bow:

Querrey dumped out Thiem.

6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-1), 6-3 6-0.

That 15 year old won again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer took the first against Clarke of Britain, 6-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cilic is down two sets and a break to Sousa, Cilic would in theory have been fourth round for Nadal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Castle thinks 2002 was the year Hewitt was served off the court by Karlovic.

Not quite, given Hewitt won Wimbledon that year. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-4 in the second set.

Fed just slapping down winners.

Uh oh Kyrgios has tumbled, even more so than normal.

His dad is shaking his head. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kyrgios calls the umpire a disgrace, having already had a violation earlier.

Fucking nutter.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blatant dive from Kyrgios.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/48875642

:lol:

[Mac76]

I still think Krygios is an arsehole, really glad Rafa beat him

Though it's a pity Krygios wasn't up against the smug swiss - he could aim the ball at him and serve underarm as much he likes in that match as far as i'm concerned

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Harsh on Wawrinka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Halep v Azarenka today. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hercog's tattoos are gross :sick:

She ain’t exactly a stunner. Dick check needed

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hercog breaks back.

[Mac76]

4-4 cmon Gauff get it back together

[McNamara That Ghost...]

She ain’t exactly a stunner. Dick check needed

Her nipples aren't shying away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kyrgios is out of the mixed doubles too. :lol:

I can only assume he met Krawcyzk down the pub he was at on Wednesday night as nobody sober would partner him at a Slam.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Christian Horner is in the box, Sky about to go to him for an update probably.

Garden Rescue isn't being shown tonight. Wankers!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Gauff!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gauff wins 3-6 7-6 (9-7) 7-5!

On this school kid goes!

Bye bye tattoo lady... :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

She has Halep next. :popcorn:

[Mac76]

She has Halep next. :popcorn:

Tough gig but the pressure will be on Halep

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Middle Saturday so that means Barker will be introducing the same old people to the Royal Box.

Pinsent, Redrgrave, the Tindell's, Cook, Strauss and Holmes probably.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I got one right.

Dier is there. :haha:

Dier?!

Fucking hell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barty throws Dart out 6-1 6-1.

Nadal v Tsonga up next.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal hammers Tsonga 6-2 in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal takes the second set 6-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Konta takes the second set against Stephens 6-4 after dropping the first 3-6.

Looks like Muzza the Younger will be going out of the men's doubles, down two sets and a break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mektic/Skugor dump out Herbert/Muzza 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-2 6-3.

Muzza still has the mixed doubles partnering with Serena which the BBC won't stop banging on about later.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal was very good and batters Tsonga 6-2 6-3 6-2.

Tsonga was a statue and passed at least 298848474 gabillion times.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza/Serena v Mies/Guarachi is on centre now.

[LDG]

Balding is a fucking idiot.

Butch

[McNamara That Ghost...]

My word.

[LDG]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena on her back. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza/Serena take the first set 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza and Serena win 6-4 6-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muchova does the splits on the second of her three match points. :sick:

Commentator getting a bit over excited and calling them Championship points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muchova beats Pliskova 4-6 7-5 13-11!

Federer takes the first set 6-1.

17 minutes long.

7 minutes if you're Castle.

[Master Splinter]

17 minutes.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ballbashing would seem to be Berrettini's best option here.

[Master Splinter]

Fellaini gave Federer a scare in the first round but guys like Pouille and Berrettini have looked hapless against him.

[Master Splinter]

Federer with a ridiculous comber there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Federer.

Berrettini has about 13 minutes to last making his match longer than Tomic's against Tsonga.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Master Splinter]

Federer should put a blindfold on to rub it in further.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Berrettini!

Fed. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He has his glory. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer holds.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yes Federer loves the game but there's no way he'd be still be playing at this age if Nadal wasn't right up his arse on slam counts, Djokovic too really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic. :haha:

[Mac76]

Nishikori beats Kukushkin 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4.

Federer next for him.

Lets hope the smug swiss doesn't think and goes to a sushi bar tonight - if so i foresee a little food poisoning :satan:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori would probably injure himself with a cleaver or something.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Riske v Serena on Centre and Halep v Zhang on Court 1 first up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Riske breaks Serena and leads 2-1 in the first set. :lol:
