Still very close in this third set! Could go either way.

ChessieFL · 05/06/2024 15:28

Great win for Paolini! Didn’t see that result coming before the match.

Raahh · 05/06/2024 15:33

Brilliant win- she is very good on clay, but it's still a big upset.

Good week so for Italy.

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2024 15:41

Well done Jasmine! Wasn't expecting that result.

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2024 17:24

Aryna is not feeling well

Raahh · 05/06/2024 17:26

No, she seemed to bounce back a bit after whatever they gave her in the first set.

It's nice to see Conchita in Mirra's player's box.

Raahh · 05/06/2024 17:39

Set 3- Mirra deserves a 3rd set really. Not sure if Sabalenka will last. Probably get the trainer out again.

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2024 17:40

Why are the commentators laughing? I didn't hear anyone laughing when Djok was "feeling unwell"

Raahh · 05/06/2024 17:42

No, it's always very serious when it's Djok.

She looked like she might use the 'throwing up in the bin' technique at one stage, Aryna.

And now they've got that annoying shadow to contend with.

Raahh · 05/06/2024 17:44

I find Chrissie a bit annoying as a commentator these days- it's a bit like Mac, she never used to be. Martina has always been great- and remains so. But Chrissie is often either very biased or just irritating.

Raahh · 05/06/2024 17:46

The 'free points' thing gets to me too.

Rafa hasn't got a great serve, so when he gets aces, it's always oh look at all the 'free points' he's getting Hmm.

Some one like Kyrgios basically wins half his match from aces. But that's not 'free points.

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2024 17:48

I haven't seen much but the bits I've seen Chrissie keeps querying whether there's actually anything wrong with Aryna as if she does this on a regular basis Hmm

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2024 17:50

She should tell her compatriot Sampras about all the free points he got!

Fizzywinegum · 05/06/2024 17:51

Aryna doesn’t look very well - looks more like sickness rather than injury? (I have only just started watching though)

I think some commentators should take a less is more approach - Chrissie is being a bit annoying - not every second needs to be filled with yakking!

It's time for my 'when I went to Wimbledon ' story , that it was a Conchita match I watched when I went (1994 , quarter final against Davenport). 30 years ago, bloody hell. Grin

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2024 18:07

That was a good match to see Raahh

Raahh · 05/06/2024 18:12

It really was, Jane- it was a very hot day as well.

So I can say I saw some one who went on to win the title, even if I didn't see the actual final Grin

IceandIndigo · 05/06/2024 18:14

Nice to see two really competitive women’s matches.

Fizzywinegum · 05/06/2024 18:17

Maybe they could have put one of the women’s matches on the night session Ice - tonight is the last night session so no women’s night matches this year

OP posts:
Raahh · 05/06/2024 18:18

I didn't actually think either of them would be, really Ice- I expected them to be fairly straightforward wins for Aryna and Elena.

So, shows what I know Grin

You could be a commentator Raahh - better than Mac’s reminiscing about players we’ve never heard of Grin

Raahh · 05/06/2024 18:19

Wow- well that's a result.

Aryna clearly not well.

Even if Chrissie implied- more than once - that Aryna was tanking Hmm.

Fizzywinegum · 05/06/2024 18:19

Wow well done Andreeva!

OP posts:
IceandIndigo · 05/06/2024 18:19

Well done Mirra. Two big upsets!

JaneJeffer · 05/06/2024 18:20

Well Aryna could have been warmer at the net.

Well done Mirra!
