Murray beats Gasquet in straight sets....

Does anyone else find Bartoli's constant skipping around disturbing?

Phew, Serena Williams is out. She offends the senses.

No, I find her quirkiness very endearing.

Cibulkova is quite hot TBH.

Cibulkova knocks Wozniacki out, and the world rejoices as she flops at yet another Grand Slam.

Wozniacki gawn.

AWTA. One of my favourite players to watch on the women's circuit.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Every time I see her it reminds me how much I miss Jan-Michael Gambill.

Nadal's body acting up, some heel injury...and Federer in the process of losing a set from 5-0*. Currently 5*-3 30-all.

Ah, that worked. Two straight points and FedEx 2-1 up. Del Potro has blown his hip too

Federer is being worked real hard in this match. This is the first time I've seen him play on Court 1 in a long long time, maybe he doesn't quite have the same comfort level there as he does at Centre Court. Youzhny is a weird one, seems to alternately go through patches of being utterly brilliant and then utter rubbish missing the easiest shots.

 

[Uppercut]

Jono must have had at least four orgasms during that match.

she is really not important enough to rejoice at her loss...is she?

An interesting line-up in the Women's Singles Q-F.
A reporter this morning went around the early morning crowds thronging to SW19 and showed them pictures of the eight remaining competitors. All recognised Maria Sharapova, about three quarters recognised Marion Bartoli but there was a lot of furrowed brows and head scratching going on when it came to the other six.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Meanwhile, 'Mardy Fish' is trending on twitter, largely because people have suddenly realised he exists and the name is greatly amusing.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Pretty good effort for him to come back from where he was a couple of years back. Assuming he loses to Nadal, ffs he's World No. 8.

The sound of rain during tennis is ****ing annoying. Did they make the roof out of tin or something?? Useless ****s.

Put a sizeable wager on Lisicki to win in straight sets, not too happy atm.

 

[_Ed_]

Bartoli's cutting it fine - had to break Lisicki as she served for the match.

Bartoli has taken the second set in a tiebreak now, though.

 

[benchmark00]

Don't feel like going to work tomorrow, might throw Lisicki.

Employee:Hey, how come I haven't been paid as much this week?
Employer: Remember Lisicki you took last week?
Employee: Ohhh, that's right.
