Has Kirilenko played yet. That normally starts conversations.

In true tennis tradition, "Oh, I say!"

Not normally into tennis, but that was exciting.

I enjoyed the final set of Dolgopolov v Karlovic

There were line judges and ball boys/girls diving all over the place to keep out of the way of the serves; especially from Karlovic when he was pushing 140mph

Wimbledon's just not the same without her

I find Williams a horrible watch, too much screaming and free points on the serve.

Not a fan of women's tennis but what a brilliant game that was.

Shame for Heather Watson, don't see Williams winning this, think Kivotva will take her out.

Top 30 player for sure.

Laura Robson would probably be up there aswell were it not for the 18 month injury.

The women's side of British tennis isn't actually that bad.

Watson is top 10 if she can hit that level consistently.

The best women's match I can remember. Unfortunate that Watson couldn't complete the unlikely upset. Serena just looks to belt every single ball. There were points in that match where Watson was returning everything and forcing Williams' technique to break down.

Watson really has to build on that and look to get into the top 10.

I'm not a sportsman so I don't really know the answer to this, but watching Murray 5-1 down in the 3rd, but 2 sets to the good and with Seppi serving. Do you just think 'f**k it' and lose that game to conserve energy and get on with the 4th set?

I don't think Murray did this even though he did lose that game and smashed the 4th set. I was thinking 'just lose it and save energy', but I'm a fat lazy bastard.

I really like him. He's self depricating (as seen in sketches) and comes across as down to earth to me. He's not as dour as people think. He can't do too much about that accent and his face.
