You know what, I don't quite think so.

After saving 2 match points no 1 seed Iga Swiatek goes through, Djokovic match next on centre.

Djokovic had better get a move on, he's only got 2 hours before the local council kicks him out!

This is the biggest bunch of bullshit that there is out there. I am unshakeable in my belief that Murray would've beaten Tsitsipas if it weren't for Merton London Borough Council. Can you imagine this happening anywhere else? What a joke country we are sometimes.

Not 100% directly related but I was out in north London the night Murray beat Djokovic in NEw York in 2012 or 2013. The tennis was in the background but as the game wore on everybody in the pub switched their attention to the match. Murray was winning 2-0 and was dragged back to 2-2. A couple of games into the 5th set and the staff announced closing time and turfed everybody out. We asked if they could stay open, stop serving and take any remaining drinks away and let us watch the game but they were fearful of losing their licence.

I can’t think of another country I’ve ever been to where this would happen.

The booing of Azarenka is a f**king joke, like we have any idea of her thoughts on the war in Ukraine.

Alcaraz v Berrettini could be a cracker, the Italian at last seems to be returning to his best form, also Eubanks v Tsitsipas could be a good one.

Just watched the new teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva, she lost to Maddison Keys, but at 16 years of age she's some player.

From watching Alcaraz v Berrettini it seems both make too many mistakes to beat Djokovic on grass.
