Some players are going to end having to play in 2 seperate matches in the same day tomorrow I reckon. Ever since they’ve had the roof I’ve wondered what happens if the first week is a complete washout. By day 3 or 4 you’ll have a bunch of total jobbers playing under the roof on the show courts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Good news for Andy Murray. The women’s match on court 12 has gone to a deciding set. After that it’s Hantzmann v Fritz, which is already in a 5th and final set, but only after that finishes will Thiem and Tsitsipas get on. Could be a late finish for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Good performance by the young Brit Arthur Fery but he crashes out in straight sets to #3 seed Daniil Medvedev. All three sets were relatively tight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Thiem just took the fourth set, to take it to a decider. Tsitsipas looks the better player but Thiem just has a bit more fight and heart. We already have people in the Third Round before all of the First Round matches have concluded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 It’s a shame they binned the “play until someone wins by 2” in the 5th set. This Thiem-Tsitsipas match looks like it could go for days. On the subject of rain delays, I wonder if they’d consider putting a roof on one of the diddy courts to preserve the showcourts, while still allowing some stuff to go on outside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 5 set slog between Tsitsipas and Thiem is good... but who are we supporting? Who does Murray have a better chance against? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Tsitsipas through in five then and will play Murray. Bit of beef between these two after the infamous toilet break saga during their 2021 US Open epic, good fun. https://theconversation.com/andy-murray-stefanos-tsitsipas-and-that-seven-minute-toilet-break-can-you-cheat-if-you-dont-break-the-rules-167075 Tsitsipas is the fifth seed and he will certainly be the favourite, but he has no real grass court pedigree and is a bit questionable mentally. Him losing the head on the way to being dumped out by Kyrgios at Wimbledon last year was the best head's gone of the tournament. With that factor and the home crowd behind him Murray is more than capable of getting through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Korda out so no excuses for Norrie not to make the 4th round now. As for Murray he has that win over Tsitsipas in Stuttgart last year which should give him confidence considering the improvement he's made in the last 12 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korda getting papped out this early is a stunner. I fancy Norrie as an outside bet to win the whole thing now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor7 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Been mentioned already, but feels a strange decision to have round two matches completed before finishing the first round matches. Surely should have completed the first round before starting any second round games today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 10 first round matches still to be completed on day four and incredibly a further 7 to be played that haven’t even started yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
