Wimbledon Day 6: Saturday, June 28 - Order of Play

[Murat B.]

Nice return gives Roger the first BP.

 

[Murat B.]

Roger gets the early break to go up 2-0.

 

[Murat B.]

I wish it was still raining. The broadcast would stay on the center court. Darn...

 

[Murat B.]

Uneventful first set to Roger.

 

[Murat B.]

Perfect return gives Roger another break in the second. Cruising now.

 

[Murat B.]

Kubot playing perfect grass court tennis.

The unavoidable TB starts.

 

[Murat B.]

Couple of solid returns give Milos a 5-2 lead in the TB. And he closes it out with an ace.

Feel kinda bad for Giraldo. Doesn't look like he wants to be out there at all. Guess he's too keen to watch Colombia vs Uruguay. Roger looks so so. Some good shots but also a lot of slop but Giraldo is making it look like an exhibition out there for Roger.

 

[Front242]

They REALLY need to play another match now on centre court after this to help the scheduling. They'll have ample time to complete another match now, mens or womens.

 

[Front242]

BBC have switched to Serena Williams v Alize Cornet and think I'll watch that instead 'cos Federer v Giraldo is pretty uneventful viewing at this stage. Serena's just lost the 2nd set and they've just started the 3rd set.

The problem is , who do you put on now? Is it playing favoritism ? It is a tricky one. Because whomever you don't pick will have to play maybe 2 , even 3 days in a row...

Very good point. Didn't think of that :s Guess they can't really unless they did a live pick the names out of a hat with a few random fans in the crowd confirming they weren't all the same names in the hat firstly And secondly, letting them pick out two names afterwards.

 

[Front242]

7 double faults for Williams so far, 3 in this current first game of set 3! Looks to be in a lot of trouble.

 

[Murat B.]

Giraldo is starting to swing for the fences and he gets 2 BPs but Roger comes up with 4 huge serves and wins the game.

They'll pick the next match which is due to begin on an outside court. I think it's Ivanovic/Lisicki.

fed wins it wooo

 

[Murat B.]

Milos wins the second TB as well. He is very calm during pressure situations like TBs. That is a good quality to have as a young up and coming player.

 

[Murat B.]

Milos leading 4-2 in the third. Playing very solid.

 

[Murat B.]

Kyrgios and Vesely going at it out at court 17. Kyrgios up 2 sets to 1 with a chance to break in the 4th.
