Match point for Konta and Vekic smashes an ace

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Immense game of tennis, whoever wins.

Really wonderful contest and a shame one of them had to lose

 

[Trips]

Only caught the final set, but was some great tennis

 

[Sniffer]

She did well to get through that. An evenly matched contest.

 

[The Bear]

She was lucky not to lose in straight sets really after nearly losing the first set. Decent battling qualities to come through it though.

Murray takes first set against Brown quite quickly.

 

[The Bear]

I always enjoy watching Dustin Brown. Like the man with the same initials, David Brent, he's just a chilled out entertainer.

Murray making short work of this third set

Konta now bookies favourite after Kvitova and Pliskova knocked out

No pressure then...

 

[Jabbawolf]

16 seeds out in the Women's draw already.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Pliskova is the only one of the top lot though. Checking the rankings numbers 2-11 are all still in, as is Muguruza at 14. The second rank have been decimated though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kvitova can't have been that high in the betting stakes surely. She's done well just to be here, she never had a prayer of winning it.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Kvitova is about a mile down the rankings because of injury. Pliskova is world number one (this week)

 

[Trips]

Kvitova can't have been that high in the betting stakes surely. She's done well just to be here, she never had a prayer of winning it.

PaddyPower and skybet had her as joint favourite with Pliskova yesterday

Good Lord. Whoever's in charge of their tennis section needs to find another job.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Kerber off form and they want to lay against a Konta win?
