He is doing well and his story is the an example of when opportunity meets preparation.At least now he can enter big events without a wildcards and he has made some dough to tidy him up for the rest of the season.
Yep, and the same for Safiullin. Two Wimbledon debutants in the quarterfinals. I wonder if Medvedev and/or Sinner will overlook their underdog opponents, and allow them to go one step further.

Alcaraz and Berrettini told by Gerry Armstrong that they have 3 full hours of daylight before eventually having to close the roof

What did I do wrong to deserve having Pat Cash as one of my commies on Alcaraz and Berrettini match just as bad as having Andrew Castle :)

Grigor took a tumble, but still won 6-3 while only getting 46% of his first serves in. If the Bulgarian can get that percentage up to 60+%, it won’t bode well fro Holger.

Rune double faults to gift his service game to Grigor. And here’s the question regarding the youngsters and 5 setters - are the mental ups and downs sometimes more grueling than the physical strain?

Matteo misses big time on his fhand
Alcaraz shot wide and Matteo gets his first break and will serve for the 1st set 5-3
Alcaraz brain fail to attempt a drop shot that far behind the base line?
Matteo's first serves gets him out of trouble to win the 1st set 63
Alcaraz had chances to break and could not convert them in the 1st set

Berretini and Dimi winning these matches is not good for the tournament. Good for the youngsters to learn, but a death knell for the tournament…

Wimbledon deserves what they get for their political maneuverings last year. That said, these are chances to see the mental strength of these two who seem to be the future of the sport.

Their political manoeuvrings were an attempt to do something good. So they deserve only good in return. We definitely will learn something about the youngsters. We know enough about their opponents..

Alcsraz reading the serve of Matteo better now, especially if he gets a look at his 2nd set
Poor service game from Matteo
Alcaraz with 3 BPs
Saves one with a good fhand
Saves another with a good 1st serve
Deuce a good body serve from Matteo
BP for Alcaraz, UFE from Matteo on his bhand
Deuce Alcaraz has 4 BP so far and cannot convert
Alcaraz with his 5th BP?
