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

well that someone else could be nadal or djokovic...

Nadal won't do **** on grass. And while Djokovic is rebounding, he's hardly the threat he was, reckon people would still like their chances of beating him. This Slam seems quite wide open.

I know its a big if.....but if Cilic wasn't so dodgy mentally he'd be my favourite for Wimbledon. Poor week for Federer but he has had some silly losses here and won Wimbledon as Tommy Haas would prove.

ATP eastbourne is odd next week, grass specialist Diego Schwartzman the number one seed and Murray v Wawrinka playing in the first round.

Eh, I think he's improved in that regard recently. He's upset prone still but when he doesn't bomb out early he's generally gone quite deep.

I still have nightmares about that final tbh

Yeah to be fair, he's not been a mental midget for a while now. He should go very deep, the only players from a betting POV you'd be somewhat confident in beating him is Federer.

He probably loses to James Ward in the first round now.

Kyrgios has improved t his temperament/attitude quite a lot in the last 6-12 months but doesnt get any credit for it because of how he's behaved in the past

Murray withdraws from Wimbledon due to injury..

 

[MW1304]

That makes it sound like his injury has recurred, when really he's just not ready for an intense two-week, five-set tournament yet.

Federer has changed his clothing sponsor to Uniqlo, apparently, since his deal with Nike expired.

I hate this development, since I hate change in general.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wow that's actually awful.

Sloane is out already.

Coric is a couple of sets and a break down against Medvedev after his big win against Federer in Halle last week.

 

[vogue]

And Coric goes out .... not playing well at all .

 

[vogue]

Going to watch a few games of Stan vs Grigor . Stan broken straight away , hopefully going to pick up soon .

 

[vogue]

6-1 to Dimitrov in 23 minutes. Looking bit one sided atm ..

 

[vogue]

Stan takes the second set am pleased to say. Bit more entertaining tennis.

Some of the Stan magic is alive.

Well and truly.. Stan goes through..great match

 

[vcs]

Stan! Great result. Hope he goes far in this tournament.

 

[vogue]

Good to see Edmund go through to the next round. Good match against Bolt.

Fabbiano two sets to love up against Stan.

Earlier, Wozniacki lost to Makarova, who did her absolute best to choke it away, but somehow failed.
