Shame for Naomi going out so soon.

I remember being at uni in 1991, and watching the lovely Stefan start his title defence - and it rained all week- he didn't finish his match til the Thursday. I think that was the first year they had a middle Sunday.

Tim getting all biblical

We need Cliff to start singing Summer Holiday then the sun would come out just to stop him singing

I see that Tommy Paul is currently 2 sets to 1 down. Not too sorry about that.

Matteo and Jannik are warming- where are they going to show it, I wonder?

Happy for Emma

Shame Naomi and Sloane have been knocked out

Andrew Cotter commentating on the Sinner match- so that's nice.

If it was the other AC, I would not be as happy.

It was nice to hear Ash Barty commentating

Oh, shame, just seen that Felix has lost.

Oh, that’s a shame. I like Felix.

I really like the look of this young guy beating playing Tommy Paul.

I have everything crossed for him.

TP's girl friend has been showing off their Wimbledon house on instagram. Would be terrible if they had to go home early.

So sad Raahh

Is Andrew castle commentating this year?
please say no

Oh
I've just read that Virtanen, the bloke playing TP, played in qualifying last week, won a place in the main draw, then flew back to Finland to attend his grandfather's funeral at the weekend, before coming back for the tournament.

So he's had quite a week- come on Otto!

I know nothing of Tommy Paul
Can someone spill the tea on why we don't like him?

Sadly, yes he is. Not heard him today, must be his day off

Damn
damn
damn

I don’t mind him too much, but he’s a bit smug and has a crazy influencer girlfriend.

Hobnobs I just irrationally dislike him . He's just a rather irritating American (with an annoying 'influencer' girl friend who took over when he won at Queen' club the other week). I've just never warmed to him much. He may be perfectly nice .

Oh, and he does this annoying racquet twizzling thing, that gets right on my nerves.

That's enough for me to add him to my wanker list 😂😂😂

I’m not sure who’s worse, Andrew Castle or John McEnroe. Mac was being seriously creepy in Carlitos’ match earlier, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s arrested outside his house.

Thats so sad about Otto’s granddad, I want him to win even more now.
