I really can't tell who will win those Raahh. Holger may be tired by now but he's got the advantage of youth. Carlos just seems to be on fire but then he can suddenly lose form.

I know- and on paper really Matteo is the better grass player- Carlos is just finding his form really. But Matteo has not had the best 12 months. It could be an intriging match.

Back on Iga - this is stressful!

Raahh · 09/07/2023 19:31

Iga is looking worried.

GrouchyKiwi · 09/07/2023 19:34

This is a bonkers tie-break.

Phos · 09/07/2023 19:37

Third set! I'm still rooting for Bencic. She didn't manage to close it out there but I feel like she deserves this.

2 big matches on last on the show courts tomorrow- Alcaraz/Berrettini and Rune/Dimitrov.

I think Rune should go through- though Grigor could pull off an upset with having more experience. I really don't know about Matteo /Carlos- and it's a shame they are playing each other, as I want them both to win!

Dimitrov is an interesting one. He was so touted as the next big thing and never really delivered,

IceandIndigo · 09/07/2023 19:39

Both women’s matches are quite dramatic! I thought Iga was gone!

Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2023 19:40

I want to watch the third set of both matches!

Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2023 19:42

kazza are you going to Wimbledon tomorrow?

Show quote history

I don't think he was ever keen on the 'Baby Federer' tag- and he did win the tour finals in 2017- but his career has never really produced anything since.

GrouchyKiwi · 09/07/2023 20:20

My TV keeps asking me if I still want to watch it. Rude.

Phos · 09/07/2023 20:21

@Raahh I don't think it's helpful for anyone to be called (repeatedly) "The Next ...." or "Baby ..." but on the other hand, the notion has to come from somewhere (especially when it's based on more than just being from the same country, e.g. Ivanisevic - Cilic) and I'm just so surprised he hasn't made more of an impact. Though perhaps like so many recent good players, it's been so difficult to do so in the shadow of Federer/Nadal/Djokovic (and some of the also rans like Wawrinka and Murray at various times)

Raahh · 09/07/2023 20:26

Well done Iga. She will be very relieved to get over that.
Belinda played very well- came so close.

GrouchyKiwi · 09/07/2023 20:28

Loved that match. Well done, Iga. Belinda pushed her so hard!

Raahh · 09/07/2023 20:28

Vika really is so squeaky.

ChessieFL · 09/07/2023 20:28

Iga played brilliantly towards the end to save that.

Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2023 20:29

Well done Iga - just watching tiebreak in other match - lots of good matches today - Beelzebub still to come Hmm

Raahh · 09/07/2023 20:31

I really like Hubi- but I'm not sure I want to watch Beelzebub.

ChessieFL · 09/07/2023 20:34

Bloody hell these two are noisy.

Raahh · 09/07/2023 20:35

ChessieFL · 09/07/2023 20:34

Bloody hell these two are noisy.

It's like armed combat, Chessie Grin

GrouchyKiwi · 09/07/2023 20:36

I turned the volume down and I swear it just got louder. Grin

This match is going to last forever.

Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2023 20:37

They’re having a shriek off!

Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2023 20:38

The final set tie break first to 10 still surprises me!

Phos · 09/07/2023 20:39

All 3 of us are marvelling at the ridiculous noises being emitted from the ladies just now.

Raahh · 09/07/2023 20:39

Fizzy I will admit I nearly forgot the 10 points thing- again.Grin
