Tsonga's injured though, not played since Roland Garros.

Been taking a bit of a look into the draw. Djokovic has got a tough start with Kohlschreiber, Hewitt, and then probably Tomic

One potential good third round match could end with Cilic v Isner. Bombs away.

Milos Raonic could end up facing Tommy Haas in the second round and then Nick Kyrgios in the third. That could be quite tasty.

Nadal isn't going to find Viktor Troicki that easy in round three and then is likely to face David Ferrer.

There is also no guarantee that Tsonga is going to get to the Murray potential match-up. Ivo Karlovic in round 3 is a tough assignment.

Gael Monfils may end up facing Gilles Simon in round three as well. That could be a good game.

Federer has a tough second round potential opponent in Sam Querrey but then his route opens up a bit.

Murrays got to be happy avoiding Djokovic, that was the key. No one else should be giving him any issues bar Fed. And as it was s shoot out between Fed and Djokovic then he got the good draw.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ideally you would want Fed other side as well to hopefully beat up Novak, but other than that, it looks a great draw.

I assumed Fed was seeded 2? If so it was impossible for him and Djokovic to be in same half.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolutely. I was just talking perfect scenario.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

David Ferrer out of Wimbledon with an elbow injury. James Ward will now face a 'lucky loser'.

Technically speaking opens up a Nadal vs Murray quarter final but I don't expect Rafa to get that far.

 

[Jolemai]

Broady wins the third set to keep his first round match alive.

 

[Sniffer]

He's a break up in the fourth set too.

 

[Jolemai]

Which he won 6-2. Fifth set now.

 

[Sniffer]

Having been a break down he's now a break up in the fifth set.

 

[Sniffer]

....and another break of serve seals it for Broady.

 

[darlowolf64]

He played really well in that last set and held his nerve brilliantly...More than one man reaching the 2nd round??

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Nishikori a break up in the fifth but clearly struggling with injury. Needs to win this NOW or it could turn round.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Which he does but I don't think that injury looks too good. Might not be featuring in the later stages.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Cracking player is Kei but his body really lets him down.

 

[darlowolf64]

Edmond and Klein in the mens and Robson in the Ladies all go out in the first round in straight sets..
Heather Watson has come back from losing the first set to lead 7 - 6 in the final set and will serve for the match

Murray leads 4-3 in the first set, going with serve

 

[darlowolf64]

Watson beats 32 seed Garcia 8-6 in the third set

 

[darlowolf64]

Murray breaks in the 10th game to win the first set 6-4

 

[darlowolf64]

Early break for Murray and it's now 3-0 in the second
