Dunno if Katie Boulter will get on tonight. Putting the roof on is taking up some time.

She has such a soft draw no reason not to make the final , Bencic/ Aza or Svitolina and then Vond, pegula in a semi final?
None of those other girls would have even have grass as their preferred surface.
The other side in the ladies is brutal, Ryb has to go through Haddad, Jabeur or Kvitova and then possibly Saba to just reach the final.
The point is grass is not her best surface either…so that levels out any advantage she may have on paper…
As I was saying…
And she will be playing an inspired Svitolina in the quarters…that will be another tough assignment…

Noted grass beast Svitolina.
Then Pegula or Vond' in a semi final? Terrifying!. Its not a cake walk but not the most daunting of assignments either.
Another limp exit from Kvitova at Wimbledon, a fine career but she really should have won more than 2 slams.
On the ladies side, on the tough non Iga side, Rybakina v Jabeur and Saba v erm Keys!

Also Eubanks is the dude , hoping he can beat Med in the quarter final. Dimi in the second week of a slam also in 2023? Scenes.
Hurkacz was all over Novak for the 1st 2 sets, had a 6-3 lead in the tie break of set 1 and bottled it annoyingly.
For Novak, its Rubev, Sinner (who was 2-0 up on him last year) then a final against Med/Alcarez/Berr.

I understand, I do think she should beat Svitolina/ Pegula or Vond without much issues though.
Berrettini takes the 1st set v Carlos, this should be a great match.
Pretty routine for Alcaraz after the 1st...

I don't really follow this to any great extent, but her last couple of games suggest to me that you'll have to go a very long way to find a more appealing sportsperson than Elina Svitolina. Just seems a lovely person. Apparently the Wimbledon crowd absolutely adore her, which I can compltely understand.
As a side issue, the womens' game seems completely dominated by Eastern Europeans nowadays. I have no problem with that, but can anyone offer a view how that became a thing?

The toughest set to win in tennis is the one after you've just taken off Novak.
