Wednesday 29th June
Raducanu at 4pm on centre court followed by Murray

Not a tennis fan, but sometimes watch a bit of Wimbledon when the big names are playing. I watched the Serena Williams game last night and thought Tan played very well.

Disappointed Kyrgios got through. I know he has mental problems, and feel for him, but don’t want to see it played out on my tv every match he plays.
For a similar reason I was pleased to see Serena go. Still chasing one more grand slam but age and injuries have caught up with her. You can’t just expect to only play grand slams and win them. The emotions shes goes through with every point is so OTT.
Otherwise Britain has had a decent start with more younger players coming through.

Why do players now do an Oscar speech after every match ?

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2022 1:40 pm**

Because the media crazy generation demands it?

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2022 1:42 pm**

Can't wait for the 'in depth analyses' rolling in for this thread!

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2022 5:31 pm**

Can anybody explain why Raducanu plays this shot so often? No other player plays it and she misses it or sets up her opponent for an easy winner.
She just got beat BTW.

I watched the first few games of the Raducanu match and it looked like she was going to lose it. What's her record like since she won the US Open? Every time I see her mentioned, she's been knocked out in early rounds.

What a gentleman Jaume Munar is. At a crucial point of his fifth set against Norrie, at 30-love up, Norrie hits a screamer cross court that is called out. Munar tells Norrie to challenge and it is overturned. Norrie went on to break and go 4-2 up.

What a tremendous match this has been and it still isn't finished. Both players have been giving it their all and some of the rallies have been outstanding.
I only stumbled on this because the cricket was rained off and so pleased that I did.

Norrie through in 5, but good to see gentlemanly conduct is still alive and well in the modern era.

Raducanu has been suffering from persistent injuries following her stunning US Open success, and she's barely played on grass recently, so TBH it's not a surprise she exited early.

Andy takes the 3rd set!
Game on!

Posted: **Wed Jun 29, 2022 9:03 pm**

Surprised at the amount of empty seats for the Murray game, the Eisner serve is just monstrous

Scot Murray beaten

Andy Murray should do the honourable thing and hang up his racket, at least Eoin Morgan knew it was time to retire, and let's be real Andy's never going to contend in the majors again.

He's enjoyed a stellar career, but now he's well past his best, and he should retire gracefully.

No, he should carry on as long as he wants to.

Apologies for the jesting, it’s not Up the Clarets messageboard during Wimbledon without the Scot/Brit argument

Andy has been a excellent player over the years, but his best days are long gone. That said, if he’s still enjoying playing, why not carry on

There's nothing dishonourable about playing and losing.

McMurray oot

Posted: **Thu Jun 30, 2022 10:45 am**

Murray played well but Isner (6’10” and 135 mph first serves) was really up for it and played some excellent tennis - especially drop shots close to the net. I enjoyed watching it.

Posted: **Thu Jun 30, 2022 3:35 pm**

Katie Boulter is through, knocking out last year's finalist.

Yes that was some result defeating the 6th seed, and coming from a set down to do it in the process.

Posted: **Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:22 pm**

First time I’ve seen Katie Boulter play. Very aggressive player with good power, good range of shots and concentration. Very impressive.

Posted: **Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:23 pm**

Well done her!

Posted: **Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:24 pm**

Broady was superb, beating the number 12 seed. Lost 11 games in a row and was down and out and pulled it back.

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 3:02 pm**

Heather Watson through to the fourth round, beating Kaja Juvan in straight sets.

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 3:07 pm**

Pleasing to see other British players coming to the fore now Murray and Raducanu have exited stage left.

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 7:01 pm**

Norrie 2 sets up, and looking good for round 4, so there will still be plenty of British interest in the 2nd week at this rate.

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:34 pm**

Norrie through to the 4th round with a straight sets victory.

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2022 4:42 pm**

Boulter and Broady both out, but they've both enjoyed good runs.

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2022 5:27 pm**

Imo two sets isn’t enough at this level.

The Ladies should play a minimum of three sets like the men. If the score then moves on to two sets all then they could play a tiebreak (instead of a fifth set) - first to twelve games wins.

Why not try it as an experiment? I’d be happy for them to call it ‘Mala’s Ladies Tournament’.

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2022 8:11 pm**

Brilliant and bizarre entertainment on court 1. Wonder if it'll turn into a boxing match.

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2022 8:42 pm**

Brilliant game this. I still can’t bring myself to like Kyrgios at all.

Me neither - complete bellend. Unfortunately he'll probably win this match.

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2022 9:19 pm**

He did, unfortunately

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2022 9:37 pm**

Say what you like about him, but he played some terrific tennis today.
Don’t forget Tsitsipas is not a choir boy himself

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2022 10:30 pm**

The interviewer saying ‘you control your emotions well out there’ is one of the weirdest sentences I’ve heard in a post match interview. Brilliant game.

He might be a bellend yes....but he makes tennis watchable.....which is difficult these days with all the non personality bores that play that game nowadays
Fantastic match with two bellends playing we need more games like this,the officials & Wimbledon heirachy were left cringing last night they couldn't handle him
I hope he makes the final because when he puts his mind to it he's a great player.

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2022 3:47 pm**

Heather Watson out, beaten in straight sets by Jule Niemeier.

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2022 3:49 pm**

I don’t know why anybody expects anything different from Kyrgios. He’s Australian. Australians will always find a way to cheat. It’s in their DNA.

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2022 3:53 pm**

Cam Norrie started well an early break for him, 2-0 1st set.

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2022 4:28 pm**

Norrie takes the opening set 6-4, and he's playing well in this match.

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2022 4:44 pm**

Norrie a break up in the 2nd set, 3-1 ahead and in a great place to reach the last 8.

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2022 5:20 pm**

Norrie takes the 2nd set, after a few breaks either way, strong favourite to seal the deal now.

Posted: **Sun Jul 03, 2022 5:37 pm**

Norrie a break up in the 3rd, and surely on the verge of the quarters.
