The official Wimbledon Thread....

Can't recall ever seeing such petulance on the professional tennis court. Seems to be focusing his childish anger on the officials. Odd that the crowd is still happily cheering him on.

They just want to see a decent match so I guess they hope by cheering they encourage that (ignoring the Australian supporters). Though to be fair they boo'd at him when he deliberately wasn't returning serves. It's rare to hear a Wimbledon crowd boo.

Kyrgios double faults to lose the match - serves him right.

It really does. I may sound like an old fuddy duddy (I'm not!!) but I really cannot stand that sort of behaviour, especially when it's a reoccurring theme by a player.

good riddance

[Blackpuddin]

anybody else's Murray match BBC internet gone into a death loop?

[Blackpuddin]

I've seen Karlovic's 30-0 serve of about five minutes ago about eight times now, dying to know if Murray got it back.

[Blackpuddin]

interesting, it's back on now anyway, they had trouble with it earlier with two match soundtracks on one vid

well done Mr Murray!

I do't know, but he's often in the box for many different players.

Wimbledon 2Day has turned into Today at Wimbledon! And Balding even tried to say it was the plan all along!

They moved Monfils vs Simon under the centre court roof a couple of days ago so that they could complete their match. They should have done the same tonight.

They explained there was more urgency to complete the other match due to it being on a Sat pm (and no play on the Sunday) It will be easy to fit this match into the schedule tomorrow.

Its not sounding like an old fuddy duddy, its sounding like a 'reasonable person'.

McEnroe (on Wimbledon 2day, a few days ago) said its about time tennis stopped being so up itself and let players be players 'just like in other sports' I believe was his phrase.

Well...if he had behaved like that in rugby, he would be invited by the referee to take a seat for 10 minutes, and in cricket he would probably have forfeited the match fee...in fact the only sport I can think of where players are allowed to act like free range toss pots is football!

He had a good year last year, and because of this (and because he is still a kid) he has decided he is a billy big bks and can do what he likes. Hopefully Australia Tennis will take the time to teach him some manners!
