Novak through to the third round, he was given a decent game but not really under that much threat
Meanwhile the BBC switch away from Rune v Wild, which was looking a good match, to Swiatek's match and there's not even any play as one of the players is getting treatment...
On the plus side, in the other match, which began a bit boringly, Norrie's found his A game and after trashing Draper in the first-set TB he's playing him off the court in the second
Good fightback by Raducanu to make it one set all
Raducanu out, outclassed in the third set :rose:
Should have played in the doubles with Murray tbh :sulk:
Yes it looks as though that would been more sensible, she clearly wasn't up to competing in the singlesQuote:

Nah. He can fuck off.
Djokovic is clearly the GOAT, but he's not likeable.
unlike lovely Wodger ofc :rolleyes:Quote:

I don’t think Djokovic comes across like a bad guy. Couple of times he’s been a bit of a dickhead (like when he held a players gathering and gave loads of them covid…well done genius) but I think it’s just that Federer and Nadal are much more loved by the crowd…and I think it largely comes down to the Tennis. Djokovic is a fantastic defender, his court coverage is exceptional but unless he’s playing Nadal the Tennis is not quite as enjoyable as the style of the other two.Quote:

My issue was he was a smug sly git, and yes I know others who agree, but it's less of an issue now his track record is being steadily ground further into the dust by DjokoQuote:

Djokovic has more grand slams, but I don’t think he will be as well remembered as Federer or Nadal.
Fed only has 20 grand slams. What a loser!
No-one is ever going to question that him, Djokovic and Nadal absolutely dominated this era of tennis. I did consider Federer the GOAT but that surely has to be ceded to Djok now. Nadal I'd find trickier to place, he has more grand slams than Fed but aren't a lot of them in the French? I'm not saying they don't count but implies he dominated on one surface more than others.
Nice try but grand slams are grand slams, Federer is an also-ran compared to Rafa and Djoko, whatever the pathetic, fawning Wimbledon rentamob might want to believeQuote:

No I'm not.
Try reading what I actually said rather than putting it through your insane Federer hating goggles you inexplicably wear :good:
