Good run for Watson at Birmingham to reach the semi final and losing to Jabeur is no shame.

Berrettini beats Norrie in 3 sets. Great week of tennis. I do love Queen's as a tournament.

Watched a few matches at Eastbourne. Can see another surprise happening in the women's singles at Wimbledon.

Andy Murray selected for the Olympics. Can see the logic in the singles given he is the defending champion but struggling to see why he is selected above his brother in the doubles.

Tough draws for British players at Wimbledon.

Draper vs Djokovic will be a big step up for Draper. Centre court, prime time, against the defending champion who is going for his 20th Slam title!

It doesn't seem quite fair somehow!

Good to see a major return to form by Ostapenko winning Eastbourne

And Draper breaks Djokovic in the 3rd game. What a feeling that must be!.

And Draper takes the first set! No matter what happens from here this will launch him into the hearts of the supporters.

Djokovic wins 2nd set

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #163 on:** June 28, 2021, 03:13:00 PM »

3rd set Djokovic who is turning this into a tennis lesson.

And Djokovic wins. Good performance by Draper. And it will give him a bit of an aura on the ITF and Challenger circuit as there will rarely be any other players there who can say they have taken a set off Djokovic, never mind on Centre Court.

That was interesting - reading the e-mails all together was like having a condensed commentary. Well done, that Draper chap!

Tiafoe beats 3rd seed in the men's, Tsitsipas. Great performance.

And Stephens puts the 2 time women's champion and 10th seed, Kvitova out in straight sets. Kvitova looked flat. Stephens is a former US Open champion but has been put of form for sometime.

And Venus Williams wins at the age of 41

Federer 2 sets to 1 down against Mannarino

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #174 on:** June 29, 2021, 06:23:31 PM »

If Federer loses here, I suspect it will be his last match at Wimbledon
If he wins, and he's just broken Mannarino it will be a great fightback
