    Who's Murray going towards?
    Cressey now must be given the NTC at Roehampton having beaten three Brits!
    Kvitova in the final stopping Haddad Maia's impressive run.
    Plays Ostapenko and her hideous Little Weed outfit!
    Tsitsi wins three in a row in Mallorca.

    Yes saw Duck and then Little John just wasn't sure of seed, although Isner is tricky, especially if Murray isn't fit.

    Tsitsi wins in Mallorca.
    Most players need to win seven matches to win a major.
    With Stefanos it's 14,the number of break points he has but doesn't convert and the number of breaks he has but doesn't maintain is astonishing for a top 10 player.
    Almost has to win a match twice!

    Hazelwood trounce Hurlingham to win the Middlesex NCL section.
    Very lovely ladies, including Amanda Brasher ( daughter of Shirley and Chris).
    The lady I played was especially charming. Played like Benoit Paire,good flat backhand,iffy forehand.
    Didn't have the beard!

    Well played Radacanu.

    Very good performance.

    Hopefully Murray can round off the day with a win .

    Must be Wimbledon.

    Murray winning late into the night after a scare and the BBC upsetting loads of non tennis fans by moving programs around to accommodate the tennis.

    I've never been able to work Heather Watson out.
    She is athletic,has a good all round game yet constantly makes errors on trading balls that others don't.
    Could have been a higher ranked player definitely.

    Matteo Berrettini out due to COVID.

    Bad news for him and the tournament as he was probably one of the favourites.

    Never seen her before, but what a lovely player Tan is. I really enjoyed the variation in her shots.

    First ever time at Wimbledon!

    And did that albeit Williams looks knackered and slow at times.

    Shame Tan didn’t get much credit from the crowd or commentary team .

    It was excruciating to watch. Is Williams the Queens illegitimate child we don't know about?

    Yes huge variety of shot making,Tan tastic!
    I'm afraid to say most people who attend Wimbledon are clueless chumps and that includes many tennis club members.
    Probably 80% of that crowd are tourists and no doubt many are as drunk as your average football crowd.
    Tan has been improving in recent months. The French always have stylish players,Bartoli notwithstanding!
    Dan Evans out which is a surprise. Jubb played well against a grumpy Kyrgios.
    Real shame and he's had such bad luck.

    Who admitted spitting at a fan - will that see him kicked out?

    I doubt it.
    Fans should be there to watch, not to abuse players.
    It happens more and more, clapping double faults and basic errors.
    Support a player by all means but don't take against the other in order to do so. That's just rude.
    Clearly not something to condone but people need to behave respectfully or some will take action.

    Watson 4-2 up in the final set playing some great shots. Break Korpatsch now and she's through.

    It's creeping into golf as well, (not just the Ryder Cup), which is a bit sad to see.

    Is Raducanu actually any good? Incredible win at US Open but seems to have done absolutely nothing since apart from go through coaches like we do! I don't watch much tennis but seemed to be totally outclassed today

    Beaten in 4.

    So that is Murray fans and non tennis fans who will be annoyed tonight .

    Apparently the BBC moved a program at 9 to BBC2 to accommodate the tennis which has caused outrage .

    Or the BBC Iplayer it seems - didn't realise people couldn't get that.

    Thought it was something is was impossible not to have even.

    There was some issue with if you recorded it as a Series link too...

    As I say won't be an problem now and I wonder if Murray will call it a day at the end of the year?

    Cam Norrie is the main hope now but doubt many would know who he is even they bumped into him in the street!

    I believe it was the final of the great sewing bee. Not my thing but yes, they're taking the p*** by not showing a, (not a chance in h*ll of winning), Andy Murray on BBC2 instead. Morons.
