I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. The courts are slick early in the tournament. I know they have some systems to take the humidity out of the air, but playing indoors probably doesn't help.

This is like the 3rd or 4th time someone has slipped on Centre Court already this tournament.


1. Grass is high and fresh to start the tournament
2. Roof closed makes the grass moist
3. Moist grass coupled with new grass is no bueno. They are going to have to think going forward how to keep the new grass dry with the closed roof

Sucks for Serena.

On another note, do you think Serena would be better if she lost 30 or 40 pounds?

I mean, I’m sure she’d be better if she lost 15ish or so.

But also, she’s not as young as she used to be so obviously it’s not as easy.

She’s done……. She will play the U S Open just to try it and if she does well then great , but she is done….. Fed is done too… would not surprise me if he lost within the next two rounds.

That was unfortunate to watch with Serena, hoping she can make a swift recovery

Commentators saying Kyrgios breathing heavily at times in a match with an average rally length of 3 shots.

Has Nick not played since that match against Thiem in Australia?

Nick's match is suspended. These dumb MFers need to start earlier.

sms' favorite player Droopy Dawg just lost. Nishioka is a little firecracker.

Djokovic is slipping and sliding like crazy out there. Centre Court is a mess.

In the case of an Osaka-less draw, she is still good enough to slip up and run into a championship. I totally agree about Fed, I'll hate it when he's gone, but I can't see him winning another crown that requires best of five to get it done. Now that serve has slipped from beyond-elite status, he doesn't have enough to beat the best anymore.

Barring injury, or him being defaulted by a oscar winning line judge, Djok is going to coast to the next two grand slam titles

Nick just took a nasty slip. This tournament is a debacle.

Got to do something about this court. That Kyrgios fall could have been nasty.
