can't find Cilic highlights, on YouTube or the Wimbledon app. Anyone know where else to look?


I saw a portion of his match today against Stevie. He is really good form. I suspect him and Rafa will be an even money play, and I'm worried about my boy Rafa's chances in that one.

Isner going to a 5th and Delpo drops the first 2 sets to Gulbis.

Wut?


I don't know what the backstory is with Gulbis, and I'd like to. Dude has barely won a match in seemingly over a year and all of a sudden he's not just in the Wimbledon draw, but beatng Delpo.

I like me some Ernests, he's ungambleable though.

Sela up a break. Somebody mentioned on Talk Tennis a bit earlier that Isner is gassed. You play tiebreaks all the time, you're gonna get burned here and there.


I think Sela v. Isner is the match of the year in the height differential category. Sela is about Halep's height.

And, yes, that is one thing that kills Isner's chances into the second week in tournaments. In addition to of course having limited mobility, he goes into the second week almost invariably with a bum shoulder because he seemingly refuses to not go to a tiebreaker in every set.

Disappointed about Delpo. I was hoping for a match with Djoker on Saturday. Ernests is kind of fun, I guess.



I liked Delpo's chances against Djokovic.

I am pretty much at that point. I was going to say the other day if I was at Centre Court and had to endure some 3 hour shite like Konta/Vekic to get to the men's matches, I would be going crazy. That said, I saw the replay and it was pretty damn interesting. I will say that some of the best tennis I have seen in person was watching Lisicki and Pennetta run and gun, but for the most part, I can't stand the pushing and choking in the sport. Anybody but Kunta for me this fortnight.

Fagggio you choking bastard, had 2 set points there and choked it away to a murray break.


It's crazy when Murray is the second biggest headcase on the court. I was actually hoping Faggio would win that one. He choked badly.

Gulbis

Almost anyone with a big serve might be worth a shot at +900 vs. Djokovic. His level can't be that far behind Querrey's 2016 level that beat Joker.

I was gonna do a short preview for today but, man, none of these matches are expected to be competitive on the men's side. Maybe Donaldson can challenge Thiem if he serves out of his mind again.

What's the scoop with Moya not being in Wimbledon? Do him and Rafa not have a long term arrangement?

shite if you don't know, I don't know who would lol

Edit:
Rafa, on Moya not being at #Wimbledon
"Is important for him to stay with the family, too. I have Toni as always, and Frances here helping."

think gulbis has a decent shot today

nole is a great returner, but even that part of his game has been beaten down since he ran through some Indian whores.

Ernests is too inconsistent.

Koko and Shelby Rogers wrecking shop right now.

I know you half troll when you say shite like that, but it might happen, especially Cilic. I do think Baby Fed will beat Fed on Monday, but he has some inconsistency or mental defect thing at times.

Kerber showed serious balls to get back into it.

Radwanska and Basczinsky going to a third. Fed is going to end up playing into the night if Ernests gives Nole a decent match.

So...

What exactly happened to the knee? I can't take people being that emotional.

This is barely a half troll.

I think Cilic wins the tournament. Really could have won last year if he didn't completely blow that match against Federer.

Plus, the top side of the draw is so easy. Dimitrov is a bit of a reach, but I think he can do it.

Tsonga not wanting to play that final game yesterday did not end up working well for him.
