Djok complaining. 🙄

Oh blaming the crowd again are you Novak?

Good lord! Djok being a tosser? Surely not!

Into a match tiebreak for Dart and Boulter.

Poor Katie. All the crying was a distraction.

Just got in from picking up dd2- nice to see the score line.

Jacob has a good beard.

Not great quality tennis in the end. Dart always seems mentally fragile.

Glad to see Grigor has come through from 2 sets down.

Golly, surprising re Katie v Harriet.

Come on Jacob!

I’m disappointed Katie couldn’t close it out - not sure why but I’ve never really warmed to Harriet. Great win for her though, and she’s not going to have a seed in the next round as Pegula’s been knocked out.

Just lookign around the courts- the Musetti match seems to have on ages- or maybe it just feels like Musetti has been playing every day
Pesky shadow appearing on the court there.

Ugh

Damn. I was really beginning to think that Jacob could nail it.
He's bloody good though.

I finally found Holger. One of the RB has got golf on it

Great match from Jacob. Shame he couldn’t quite get there.

Good lord. I just heard Isa for the first time. Give that woman a pronunciation guide.

She's good on cricket commentary, usually.

Really good effort from Jacob, though I'm sure there will be plenty of excuses from the Djok camp and his knee will suddenly be bothering him (even though it was fine before).

He was kept out on court for 3 hours, and that's not bad going.

And Thiago just got the first set

This is what we keep hearing, that she's ok on the cricket- the problem is, this is the third year now she has been doing the tennis - and if anything, she's getting worse.

Boo just got home in time to see Djok win and had to switch off quickly before his interview - at least Jacob managed to push him a bit

Off to catch up on what’s been happening today - is Jack v Draper likely to be a snooze fest?

Sad about Hubi

Yes, shoved over on court 18, so no danger of Mac commentating on it

Norris v Draper not Jack v Draper!

Shame Jacob couldn't cause an upset but looking at the score, he did bloody well and certainly gave Djok a workout.
Let's hope it doesn't play his knee up.....

Just seen the video on the Wimbledon insta and app of Andy writing a postcard to himself before his first Wimbledon. Funny and poignant
