Heather Watson also through

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wawrinka out! Shocker.

 

[PuntsWolf]

He wasn't even trying in that last set. Must be carrying an injury

 

[Trips]

He was struggling with his knee throughout. Good news for Murray as Stan was a potential Q-F opponent.

Bedene/Karlovic into a 5th set. Not one break of serve and 4 tie-breakers so far.

 

[PuntsWolf]

When's Karlovic gonna fuck off?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

His returning has always been laughable :icon_lol: He may as well not bother at all a lot of the time. Paddles it back into a nothing area and then stands stock still down the middle of the court, just waiting for his opponent to rifle it back either side.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

See ya Ivo.

 

[Trips]

Bedene knocks out Karlovic 8-6 in the 5th

 

[Jabbawolf]

When's Karlovic gonna fuck off?

He's less than one-dimensional.

Murrays bbc columns imo tend to be excellent reads.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Tomic the Tank Engine in full flow today. Makes Kyrgios look like a dedicated pro.

 

[Trips]

Comments in his press conference included "I was bored" "I do sort of try, in a way" and "I'll play for 10 more years and then never have to work again"

Awful attitude and complete waste of talent

Heather Watson through to round 3 after beating the no.18 seed Anastasija Sevastova 6-0, 6-4.

 

[Lord Knows]

Johanna Konta's grandfather, Tamas Kertesz, played twice for the Hungarian Golden Team with Puskas, Kocsis et al in 1955...

 

[darlowolf64]

Aliash Bedene, British number three is through to the 3rd round in 4 sets

 

[Trips]

Konta 6-6 final set against Vekic

 

[darlowolf64]

7-7 and 0-30

 

[Trips]

Comes through it well. She also faced a break-point in her previous service game

 

[darlowolf64]

Had a love thirty lead in the next but tightens up and the chance is gone... 8-8 and now also 0-30

 

[darlowolf64]

She keeps playing that rubbish drop shot and losing the point, needs to cut that out and make the other girl miss
