Personally, I'd have Nick v Gasquet on Centre court, instead of Grigor v WTF...

Kyrgios v. Raonic? I would agree.

 

[Kieran]

Exactly. Mea culpa...

 

[Kieran]

Maybe a mod might bang this upstairs for chat tomorrow...

EDIT: There's one in the WTA too...

I too thought it was a sure shot to be in center court. But, then may be they decided to spare the center count audience of watching 200 Aces fly thorugh from the two players combined. :laydownlaughing

Come on Tomic and Verdasco, make my day tomorrow !!! :clap

Day 5 at Wimbledon, where the tastiest match looks like Cough Drop v Long Drop. Hardly a tasty prospect. Cilic found Berankis to be a sturdy foe, pity the Lithuanian lad tightened at the end, but I felt that Cilic held firm, and may improve. This will be a fast match, I think, the quickest five set match of the event, with Cilic going through...

Anyone watching Raonic v. Kyrgios. I think they had a valid reason for not putting it on Centre Court. A lot of serve and hardly any play.

 

[herios]

Kyrgios gifts the first set to Milos. He makes 3 DF when serving to stay in the set at 5-6, facing the sun.

 

[Carol]

I wouldn't mind if Verdasco would beat Wawrinka, he has the game but I don't think he would be able to win two matches in a row because his "head" , what a shame!

 

[isabelle]

Nice start from Richie, hope he can beat Mr Sharpy

 

[britbox]

Dimitrov is getting his ass handed to him by Gasquet at the moment. Very vulnerable on the backhand.

 

[britbox]

Gasquet two sets up.

 

[El Dude]

Dimitrov vs. Gasquet - talk about a pair of losers.

Kyrgios vs. Raonic - some crazy power tennis. A bit boring, though.

 

[El Dude]

Holy crap, some amazing serving in the Kyrgios-Raonic match.

 

[DarthFed]

Kyrgios is an obnoxious diva but he is fun to watch and he is playing a very smart match, drawing Milos into the net has turned it around for him.
