I know nothing about tennis. Are there more players in the women’s tournament?

No. 128 in each singles draw. Not sure about doubles.

So Federer is looking at Medvedev most likely in the quarters? How much does the short turn around for his opponent help him?

Don't think Fed can beat Medvedev at this point.

Doubles has 128 players, 64 teams.

Completely ridiculous they didn’t finish this match yesterday. Federer gets every match on cc as the 8 seed though which shouldn’t shock anyone but Medvedev as the two is on court 2 for his 4th round match. Hope the winner blows smug off the court.

It was a strange scene. Medvedev was just kind of in a bad mood and I think didn't like the conditions. Hurkacz didn't really do anything spectacular. Medvedev paid the price for playing ten feet behind the baseline.

And Andy Murray got centre court 3 times unseeded. It is what it is. There are no guarantees of which court you get and Fed has earned centre based on his wins and popularity.

Looks like ESPN finally fixed the score bug. It was really hard to decipher for a tennis noob like myself.

Yeah it’s tempting to want to blame the tourney (and probably right to an extent) but you can’t return serve from the back wall on grass. Even Rafa doesn’t do that. Cilic was making him pay in the previous round too, and should have won that match.

I woke up to Medvedev losing… didn’t think that would happen. Now I have nobody to actively root for in the men’s draw. Federer I guess lol

Doubles is so much more fun than singles

ETA: 122 mph serve from Coco at 17 years old. Sheesh.

Put some cheddar on Hurkacz and FAA. I also bought in on Shapo to win the tournament at 16-1.

Keep fading Roger and you have to win eventually. Just hopefully it’s not at the Olympics

Ha. At some point, the 39 year old has to crap out. I consider him a slight favorite today. I think Hurkacz hadn't been broken until the Medvedev match. He's rock solid. Roger has the higher level on grass, obviously.

Denis has been really scratchy. He fought off four break points at 2-3. But, he gutted out that set and started swinging freely. The wind is causing some problems out there.

Yes, that was hard to follow.

Damn, who is the lines girl in the back in this Djoko match?
