I think Murray's head is still very much up for the game, but his body hasn't been for some time. He needs to realise this, as the constant coming back/ dropping out will become an embarassment. The fact that he has a good head for the game should make him a good coach, but he needs to accept that his days of playing at the top level are done, not an easy thing to do, but he has to do it.

I expect him to announce his retirement after Wimbers.

16 years and the thread'll need a new title...

Berretini straight sets everyone to make the Queens final.  He will play Norrie.  With that Norrie will be seeded for Wimbledon.  A great season he is having so far.

If Berrettini is on the opposite side of the Wimbledon draw from Novak then he is a very good E/W or outright bet to win it.

He was 22/1 but that was before he won Queens today so probably dropped a bit.

Edit - aye he's dropped to 17/1 to win it.

Djokovic favourite obv at 10/11 with Tsitsipas next at 8/1

 Can’t happen now, as he has confirmed his participation at the olympics.  Dan Evans and Andy Murray in singles.  Doubles teams of Dan Evans and Neal Skupski, Joe Salisbury and Andy Murray.

Jamie Murray misses out as he’s not ranked high enough.  Ironically splitting from his previous partner of Neal Skupski to work again with Bruno Soares cost him his place.

In the women’s side Joanna Konta and Heather Watson are the singles entries and will also play doubles.

Andy Murray gets as good a draw as he could hope for.

Nikoloz Basilashivili in round one, and either Otte or Rinderknech in Round 2.  Potential Shapovalov in Round 3.

It then gets a lot harder. If he was to make the second week he is seeded to face Bautista-Agut in the last 16, Tsitsipas in QF, Djokovic SF and then Medvedev in the final.

As he is in Djokovic’s half, and defending champions are always scheduled on the first Monday, Murray will also be scheduled on Monday.  I’d imagine it would be also on Centre.  Likely to be about 5pm.  A woman’s match in between.  Simona Halep has withdrawn so it won’t be the defending champion.

Katie Swan takes the last four games of the match to qualify for the last round of qualifying.  A really good win.

And she follows that up with a comprehensive win today to take her place in the main draw to face former US Open finalist Madison Keys.

I’d imagine she would have lost in the first round.  Siniakova made the final in Bod Hamburg and Konta hasn’t played since March.

Konta won the tourney at Nottingham a fortnight ago.

I even watched her lose in the French Open, so I’m not sure where I got that from 🤣

Young Jack Draper gives Djokovic a scare by taking the first set but normal service resumed as it takes Djokovic 55 mins to win the next 2 seats and turn the match on its head.

 

 

Elsewhere a number of first round matches scheduled for today have been postponed with no play possible yet on the outside courts due to rain.

Tiafoe now two sets up and a break up in the third against Tsitsipas. The third seed could be heading out in the opening hours of the tournament. Big American looks good, has a great game for grass. Surprised his best at Wimbledon is the third round.
