Nice weather at Queens, going to be a busy time with the tennis and the World Cup.. need some rain to fall over Russia so that I get some tennis viewing in

Hopefully a decent match today with Edmund and Kyrgios. Having knocked out one British guy maybe he’ll do the same today..

Kyrgios takes the first set. It’s a close match so hoping we have 3 sets.

OMG that backhand passing shot on the dead run by Federer just now..

 

[Anil]

federer escapes against paire, just barely...

Zverev or Federer will win Wimbledon

 

[Anil]

ok

Djokovic seems to be back in good form!

Beating Dimitrov comfortably, and he also won his first round match very convincingly.

 

[vcs]

ok

I'd certainly take Cow's word when it comes to grass.

 

[Anil]

good point, he should be the leading expert on the topic, anyway i was also agreeing with him...

 

[Anil]

doesn't look like federer is 100% right now, don't know if it is rust or health-related...he is making heavy weather of getting past opponents he would normally swat aside...

Another average performance to get past Kudla. Will face Coric or Bautista Agut in the final, he'll have to play much better than he has so far in the tournament.

Catching the second set with the Cilic/Kyrgios match. Cilic took the first,but it looks like Kyrgios may have woken up in the second set somewhat,going 3-2 up.

Cilic through then to the final on Sunday. Both sets going to tie breaks. Like watching Kyrgios,probably in a minority with that, but he’s got some talent. Would like to see Cilic win this again after missing out last year.

I don't think anyone minds watching NK play, its just at times he can be an arse on courts which is the issue. He has the talent to go really far at Wimbledon, just the mental side might be the issue, can drop the shoulders a little to quickly.

Cilic definitely one of the favourites also, such a solid grass game.

Kvitova playing well this week also, the betting favourite for Wimbledon it seems which makes sense but despite winning it twice still a little doubtful about her. Some silly losses over the years to say the least.

He's still been the best player in the grass season tbf. He was good last week to beat 2 high quality grass courters in NK and Raonic. Halle can be odd at times anyhow as some of his more recent losses there would prove. FFS Zverev lost to Coric in his first match here. Who has been more impressive in the last two weeks than him? Still Wimbly favourite.

Yes he really does have the talent on grass, but just cannot get his mind focused.. wouldn’t like to be coaching/ managing him, a bit of a nightmare I feel.

Coric wins.. Federer doesn't look close to his best this year. Good chance for someone else to win Wimbledon.

I shall look forward to that, would like to see that this year.
