Tennis: Wimbledon Week 1

No! Can't you get BBC1?

Wow that she managed to hit that ball after slipping and what a fantastic shot for the point!

Berrettini is looking like the player to push Djokovic now. I can't see anyone else in the men's draw who can, unless Fed really improves over the next few days.

Cirstea's really giving it some welly right now.

Watched Matteo, who was in great form, switched over and wow, Emma! I'm sorry I missed the start of this one.

This is stressful

Yaaaaay

That last point was mad!

Well done Emma!

Brilliant! What was the issue with Cirstea's hat?

That was amazing!!

Yes! Well done Emma.

Not the Brit that anyone would have expected to get to the 4th round!

Darn, Ostapenko is out. That's a shame.

@Maireas

Brilliant! What was the issue with Cirstea's hat?

Something like if it had fallen off during the serve she would have been able to replay the point. But as it was just after she couldn't

Well done to Emma.

Meanwhile, Fritz (who hobbled away from a knee problem, and ended up having surgery) is playing Sascha- early days, going with serve.

Taylor is a funny one- I think he has the potential to do really well - but always seems to come up a bit short. I still wish he'd beaten Djok in Melbourne. The match where Djok was 'injured' .

Meanwhile, Fritz (who hobbled away from a knee problem, and ended up having surgery) is playing Sascha- early days, going with serve.

That's going to end well in a notoriously slippy banana skin surface with some moisture in the air

Grouchy from the bits I saw (and I missed the middle of the 3rd set) , things got a bit heated in the Ostapenko match. The commentators kept alluding to a rule that Ostapenko might had pushed her luck with, but I'm not sure what it was. It was frosty at the net, at the end apparently.

Well done Emma!

@SunSeaSurfGin - thanks

Sun exactly what I was thinking, he's been lucky to get this far without causing any more issues- and appears to be wearing either one-legged leggings, or a surgical sock .

Raducanu Ridge !

Just caught the last game of Emma's match-bloody amazing! She must be on cloud 9!

Her mum and dad thinking she'd packed too much

Ostapenko often seems to have grumpy matches, Raahh.

Fritz is quite impressive.

Raducanu Ridge sounds great.

(better than Konta's knoll, or whatever they tried to call it once ).

First set Fritz - and it is a compression sock, apparently. He's moving very well.

Konta's Knoll just sounds wrong.
