Big upset Eubanks knocks out Tsitsipas.

First match I've watched this year, saw the last 2 sets of that and enjoyed it. Eubanks seems a very likeable chap so was glad he won.

Has there ever been a sportsman who is the plural of another sportsman before?

Brilliant from Svitolina just now.  Surely one of the great stories of any Wimbledon.

Gary Stevens - in the same England squad in Mexico 1986?

Who is Gary Steven, though? If he is a sportsman then you've nailed it but I don't know who he is.

Thought you said, Gary Seven. Which made me think of:
‘Gary Seven is the major character in the last episode of the second season of the original Star Trek television series, "Assignment: Earth". He is portrayed by Robert Lansing.’ Wiki

Unlikely to be at Wimbledon this year, but you never know.


Well played, Eubanks!

Svitolina knocked out, so there won't now be a Ukraine/Belarus final.

Djokovic through, with a 3rd set tiebreaker, has now won 15 Grand Slam tiebreaks in a row, that ain't bad.

I think probably one of the most predictable finals you could get.

Stunning point to win it, wasn't the thriller I thought it might be, but well done Carlos and stunning last point.
