For me, Alexander Zverev is also a contender for the title alongside Djokovic. Many games have already been interrupted, is it raining in London right now?
What you mean right now, it is always raining in London  Grin Sorry, had to write it since I really hate those rain delays. At least they have one stadium with roof so one match is always going on.

Zverev is my pick for the final from that part of draw. Tsitsipas loss did not surprise me much, he was never good on grass and Tiafoe is good player when in form.

Well Zverev is one of the main favorites for the semi final and final. Dominated today while all the other favorites struggled a lot. Federer could have lost in the first round if Mannarino didnt get injured in this match and had to retire. Federer wont make it long,his time is up

Correct, Mannarino come back from 1-0 and won the next 2 sets. However, it seems that he over extended that's why he lost the 4th sets. Federer is a tad slower, it's obvious that his no longer in his prime.

Zverev won in straight sets, he has a good opponent in Griekspoor. It's just the first round, I'm sure there will be surprises coming.

Being one who like women's tennis too I'd like to write about Serena Williams who's now almost forty years old, but she's always fearsome and boasts a formidable tradition in the London Slam, where she has triumphed seven times in singles. She'll try to reach twenty-four majors with another tennis legend, Margaret Smith Court, record holder in this special ranking. Serena's path will start with a potentially not too complicated match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich that she might win in two sets.


Well she had to retire in the first set from an injury, she seemed to have twisted an ankle.

No offence to her but I would not bet on Serena winning another Grand Slam, the womens
game is very open, a lot of players have the potential to win and able to challenge and beat
Serena. I think I'm the only one who is vocal in saying Serena is past winning a 24th slam.

I agree, I think Serena has seen better days, many the competitive fire is still there, but his body is no longer responding that's why she got injured again.

She has been in the tournament for many years that the wear and tear are really talking a toll on her body. She didn't have this kind of approach that Federer and now Nadal is doing, carefully picking tournaments. She always wanted to play almost every tournament and doesn't want to skip that's why her body now is failing on here.

Andy was 5:0 up in third set, and managed to lose seven gems in a row, with 40:15 in two his serving gems, it is pretty unbelievable for grass tournament
nevertheless, he managed to get fourth set and pass through, but I do not see him to hold into second week in any way


I am happy that Murray is going through, but I doubt he will survive the second round (dependent on his opponent). I watched Murray play in the 4th set, his mobility is quite limited.

Federer is playing right now and won the first but lost the second set. In set 3 he is 2-5 behind. Watched some games and Federer made a lot of strange unforced errors (especially with his forehand).

Andy murray keeps trying to comeback to the big stage but failed many times. Yesterday he leaded in 3rd set 5:0 and lost 5:7 and then won the fourth set
But i dont know how far he can come if someone serious goes against him honestly

Thank you, I didn't know that much and haven't followed up enough. Today Federer is playing because I'm curious how fit he is and how far he will come, I think a win is rather unlikely.


I sometimes feel that we over estimate Tsitsipas a lot, and maybe he’s just yet not ready for this kind of pressure and it’ll take some more years before he becomes a legend. Also as far as Andy is concerned he’s looks to be in top form, and if he makes it to the semis then it’ll be considered a success for him, but I don’t expect him to win the title despite his recent form.

Yes I lost my bet on Tsitsipas yesterday I was really expecting him to get past Tiafoe.

Andy Murray did well to get through in 4 sets, he will be happy with that I just hope the 4
sets didnt have any negative consequences for him.

2 bets on for today, Shapovalov to win against Kohlschreiber and Herbert to win against Andujar

Andy was 5:0 up in third set, and managed to lose seven gems in a row, with 40:15 in two his serving gems, it is pretty unbelievable for grass tournament
nevertheless, he managed to get fourth set and pass through, but I do not see him to hold into second week in any way

Djokovic lost first set, but he was actually late into the match, and when started he smashed Draper easily, it became a habit for him to lose first set and then start playing

I didn't know Andy Murray was still playing? He won his match yesterday in the first round of Wimbledon.



Tsitsipas losing to Tiafoe is a major surprise, yes. That's the problem with these new players contending for the top spots and Grand Slams. There is absolutely no consistency in their game, I don't remember Federer, Đoković or Nadal losing these kind of games. Tsitsipas didn't even get a set, these kind of performances are simply unacceptable if he wants to contest for the top spot and for the major prizes.

Đoković lost the 1st set but was dominant enough for my handicap to pass so thanks for that Nole Grin

For me a very big surprise that Tsitsipas clearly lost in 3 sets, who should now prevent Djokovic to win the tournament?

I guess no one expected Tsitsipas to go out yesterday. I mean Tiafoe is one of those players that I always think to myself, why isn't he at least in the top 20 the way he plays. So far he just hasn't been consistent enough in his performances. Yesterday, however, he managed to play a complete game at a high level.
It's not good for the whole tournament in my opinion that Tsitsipas is already out as he was considered by most experts to be one of the most promising candidates to challenge Djokovic for the title this year. I don't think Federer can challenge Djokovic this year. Maybe Zverev, Medvedev or Berettini have a chance.

Draper won the first set against Djokovic because Djokovic went in lightly and with no focus at all.Slippary grass had its mark,but once he lost the first set we seen typical novak djokovic going into supreme mode and finishing the match pretty fast.He had 25 aces thats large for his standards

Tsitsipas out so soon WAS a surprise for me because I did take him to win,,, and silly me to think Djoker would get a straight set win. I have to keep learning my lesson about him because I have seen him lose first set so may times! Either through just being careless like yesterday or just on purpose:P

Next match 3:2

Djokovic already won but in 4 sets, the usually, he 'tend' to lost the first set and then comeback strong in the last 3.

Not so surprised, Stefanos Tsitsipas lost in the first round, we all know that he is more of a clay court specialist, same as Jannik Sinner, exiting early as well.

Lots of game are suspended, so we have to wait when its going to resume.

The most important UK tennis tournament starts immediately with the big favorite, Novak Djokovic. The Serbian, number one in the world, is aiming at the Grand Slam after having won Roland Garros and ousted the king of Paris, Rafa Nadal, from his throne. He has been training on grass playing doubles in Mallorca and seems ready to face this umpteenth challenge. He has already won here five times and in the last two editions (2018/2019) he had no rivals. He will debut with the British Jack Draper, the 19-year-old who jumped to the headlines in the last Queen's. The young Brit dos not have many chan ces but it could be a funny game.

Anything you plan on watching today? I'm looking through the draw and can't find anything interesting. Same for betting, went through the offer and nothing jumps out as a good deal. -9.5 handicap on Đoković will probably pass though.

It's football anyway so I plan to watch both games but I'd like to maybe put some tennis on before that. Sinner - Fucsovics looks semi-interesting and planned start is at 14:00, maybe that one.

You can watch the match between N. Djokovic and J. Draper which have just started now and the fifa match will start in about three hours from now.
We are having a jam packed sports season to enjoy these days.
I am sure that Djokovic should win this match easily.
In this pandemic period where there are still many activities carried out at home, lucky enough to get a variety of and interesting sports matches.
easily? it didn't yet look like that in the first set, Draper was able to break Djokovic's serve, but it's too early to say Djokovic is having a hard time against Draper.
