Haha, they finally put a roof in and what happens? The best weather I've ever seen at Wimbledon.

I think I just heard a commentator say it was 34 degrees!

...yeah...having a minor heatwave here...its actually very muggy and close...

Ivanovic pulls out....she was one set down against Williams...

 

[vogue]

yeah....Haas goes thru...


...guys got a great serve and volley game..didnt realise he'sthe oldest guy playing here this year...

 

[_Ed_]

Good on him.

Hard to see a way back into this match for Soderling. He's played well, but is still two sets down.

 

[Bobisback]

Channel 9 in good form. Cut from the boring Federer match, onl 6-5 in the 3rd, to watch Hewitt warm up. Love free to air, not many big companies let retards have such important jobs.

That shot by Federer at 4-5 down in the tie break was incredible.

Credit to Soderling though, that's one of the best performances I've seen in a straight sets loss.

Haha should read Who Killed Channel 9?, this sums up the book pretty much.

Radek!

 

[vogue]

Djokovic thru now and he will play Haas in the next round....will be shouting for Haas i think...never really warmed to Djokovic...

 

[Jono]

Wow, Newcombe could you cheerlead more?

"My initial reaction was 'quick put the covers on', but now that Lleyton's on a roll, let's keep playing"

 

[vogue]

..and the roof closes for the first time...and number 2 court also stops play....should make someone happy!!

 

[Jono]

Lleyton looked injured, but he's come out in the 3rd strong. 4-0 up now after losing the first 2 sets. Just hitting hit shoots deeper and with more force.

However its raining, but we're gonna play on Centre Court with the roof!

Nah, choked. Staying with your opponent for the whole set then completely throwing away points at the tie-break or when serving to stay in the set isn't a good performance IMO.

Soderling clearly needs the mental side of his game sorted.

Really?

Reckon coming back 1-4 down in a 5th set when you were 2 sets to one up, in a French Open semi-final, suggests he's in better shape mentally than he was 2 years ago.

 

[Jono]

This has the writing of another 2-sets down come-back for Lleyton. Done it 5 times. Amazing record.

Stepanek already played two 5-setters at Wimbledon. Don't reckon he can get up if it goes the distance again. Hope I'm wrong though.

 

[superkingdave]

Wish Mauresmo- Safina would hurry up and finish already

 

[Jono]

Massive serving from Karlovic as always, but he had the match on his racquet at 5-4 up in the 4th set tie-break and lost both pts
