Oh dear I really hope Querry doesn't collapse frown. Bloody rain, he'd have won it for sure last night

They're good prices esp the 2-19 access, should see some good games on those alone. Wish I could just drop everything and go, would love to do Wimbledon one day

yes

Weather set to be clear too.

Meanwhile on court 1 Djokovic is really struggling but big Sam isn't taking advantage of it.

Just catching up on that now, infuriating to watch tbh!! Though scraping by so far.

Get in big Sam! Glad he held it together and kept swinging to close it out. So many restarts and a 2-day match isn't fun to experience.

Somebody said to me earlier that they'd heard Djokovic had the hump yesterday because he wasn't on centre Court.

Could be complete rubbish but I'd hope he's not that far up his own backside.

I don't know about this case but yes he is arrogant beyond belief and generally not well liked. The man thinks it's impossible to lose and he is probably curled up in the metal position right now sucking his thumb.

Really? He gets less grumpy than Murray on court for a start.

Is this real or just making it up? Can you give some evidence he is arrogant beyond belief?

Somebody said to you that they "heard"

Never a good start to something being a fact.

He has definitely become more dour over the years, he used to have a great sense of humour for interviews and occasionally on court but not seen that for a while now.

He has also had some impressive outbursts on court.

I really hope the court isn't the issue, though it is odd the number one wasn't on centre.

We can only speculate and I hope he is the Djokovic with humour when he's a family man and not on tour!!

evidence, nope, just what I've read. As for Murray, can't stand the guy. Scowling all the time. I'll always support Rafa/Feds, tsonga. Gents of the game.

I did hope that saying it could be rubbish made it clear to most people i wasnt stating it as fact, but thanks for clarifying.

Djokovic doesn't like it when the crowd support the other guy more than him however I can't see that affecting his performance to the extent it did today - I mean he was making unforced error after unforced error today. Querrey played really well yesterday but today he was pretty average which makes Djokovic's performance even more baffling.

I'm quite pleased Djokovic is out, he has become too dominant lately. A Murray vs Federer final could be a good one. Fed's draw is pretty nice but Murray has it a bit tougher with Kyrgios and Gasquet potential 4th round / QF match ups.

That said if Murray plays his best he really ought to be in the final with a great chance to win. Hopefully he will keep his mind clear and win efficiently rather than wasting energy like he did at the French Open.

edit:
that said Kyrgios has to beat Lopez and Lopez has a big serve and is handy on grass.
