Andy Murray may have already played his last Wimbledon, doubtful for SW19, following having to retire in his match at the Queen's Club after just 5 games, with back pain.

I hope he doesn't carry on playing too long but would be a shame if he doesn't get one last hurrah. Maybe the Olympics or the US Open if he's not fit for Wimbledon?

He definitely wants the Olympics. Hopefully he'll make something.

And wasn't even at 100% doing it. Whisper it quietly, but it looks like she may well be back to Proper Player levels.

I don't really follow tennis during the fifty weeks a year pre-season, but Boulter seems to be doing well, too.

She's happiest on grass and is showing it. Wouldn't surprise me to see her make second week at the Big Wimby.

One to watch, 15 year old Hannah Klugman. Hopefully will get a few wild cards into big tournaments, and could cause a few shocks."





1 match away from main draw after getting Wild Card for qualifiers. Plays today.

Paolini just too heavy-hitting so far.

And Raducanu looks a bit loose-limbed, a bit like the racquet's too big for her.

Raducanu's opponent has been changed due to illness. I assume that's good?

Watson gone. Got herself in a position to win a topsy-turvy first set but never looked convincing on her own serve.

Lajal breaks Alcaraz early in the second set, just makes him angry, two games later he hasn't won another point yet.

Raducanu wins first set. Wobbled a bit from 4-2 up but recovered to batter her 7-0 in tiebreak.

Yeah an iffy first set, but ate her alive in the tie break.

Through she goes. Easy enough in the end. The other lady wasn't bad for a "Lucky Loser", though.
