Serena won again and now she is just 2 steps away from the record- 24th Grand Slam won in the career.
I feel that only Halep can stop her now.

Nadal, Federer and Djokovic are all through to the next round. Nadal looked good in he's match with Tsonga who I thought might give Nadal a tough match but it wasn't to be as Nadal won easy in straight sets. Same with Federer who won in straight sets, Djokovic had to fight it out for the first two sets but won the remaining two easy. Its looking like it will be either one of these three in the final once again.
The top 3 are through to the next round as they won against their respective rival at ease, taking 3 sets. So they are now moving to the quarter-finals. Hard to predict as this three players are really playing high level tennis above the rest. Raonic lost though, but Sam Querrey won in a hard fought 4 setter match. Interesting to see how can he progress.
I think the curse of being the women's number one continues, as recent number one women's, Ash Barty have lost world number 55 Riske, 3-6 6-2 6-3. Riske will now face a resurgent Serena Williams in quarter-finals.
Yeah the top 3 look in very good form heading into the quarter finals, they won all their matches easily but now its coming down to the business end so we'll see how they go. Raonic lost an epic 5 set match after winning the first two sets, he was one player I thought could challenge the top 3.
Yeah its a shame that Barty lost but Riske does have good form against her as she beat Barty at Wimbledon last year I believe or it could of been the year before so for me it was no surprise to see this happen. Maybe its Konta's year to win her countries Grand Slam? after she fought back well to beat Kvitova who was no easy opponent.

It seems that great a series of victories, which Gauff had on this Wimbledon, it's over.
She loosing 6-3 and 5-2 from Halep at the moment.
Can she makes another impossible return to the match?
Any way, I'm sure that she is a future big champion, maybe bigger than Serena.
EDIT: She lost, but also ASHLEIGH BARTY, no 1 at the moment, lost from Alison Riske.
It seems that Serena have now very good chance to finally wins Grand Slam.

Can that woman not win any more grand slams? She is already 37 years old and huge af. Shouldn't she now start playing some of the indie divisions to promote the game and leave the high stakes competitions for younger athletes? Besides, she is so intimidating to play against and her stature is so scary, I am sure half her opponents lose the game in their heads even before they play against her.

Just saw some highlights of Kyrgrios vs Nadal.
Kyrgrios keeps making my day with his behaviour
. Was a quite close match, 2 tiebreaks also, which shows what a talent Kyrgrios has!
Kyrgrios keeps making my day with his behaviour
. Was a quite close match, 2 tiebreaks also, which shows what a talent Kyrgrios has!Yes, he have great talent but never made some great result consistent with his talent.
Obviously something is missing, either will, perseverance, severity, or something else.
It was considered that he could replace three giants of world tennis, what a pity.
Right, he had the potential to be on the top 5 or top 3 if not for his attitude and mentality towards the game. He is branded as the bad boy of tennis, and true to be told, he acts like that.
He is very inconsistent and very unpredictable. But I will throw may hats onto him for giving Nadal a good match though, was close but not enough.
Kyrgios performed really well against Nadal, but the way he did his usual melodrama was a turn off. He’s such a talented player and he should let his racket do all the talking, instead he indulges in melodrama in the court which resulted in his defeat. Nadal too wasn’t pleased with the way Kyrgios acted, but he buried it which shows his maturity and love for the game.

He only need to stop arguing all the time and to stop provoking players. Then if he can do this, but think he will not cuz its not in his nature, could he become great player even top player in the tour.
I think he should include a good psychologist in his team, someone who could help him in psychological preparation before important and big matches.
Everything else he already has, both talent and quality but he is not yet psychologically ready for great things.
''Big three'' Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are the best because they can control their mind and emotions and their focus is 100 % on tennis.
I don't see that young players like Kyrgrios are ready to replace them.
There is an interesting match coming up in the Women's draw with the up and coming 15 year Cori Gauff facing Simona Halep. We will now see how good this young talent is as Halep is not an easy opponent to face as she never gives up. In the Men's draw Berrettini will face Federer who could give Federer a good challenge.

. Was a quite close match, 2 tiebreaks also, which shows what a talent Kyrgrios has!Indeed Kyrgrios really did better on their match and he showed a lot of potential that he could beat Nadal in the future. As the day goes by another skill development will be on progress with him so he could establish his good moves.
Nadal, Federer and Djokovic are all through to the next round. Nadal looked good in he's match with Tsonga who I thought might give Nadal a tough match but it wasn't to be as Nadal won easy in straight sets. Same with Federer who won in straight sets, Djokovic had to fight it out for the first two sets but won the remaining two easy. Its looking like it will be either one of these three in the final once again.

Today think we could have some interesting match.
Tsonga J-W. - Nadal R.
This match can be played in 3 sets and in 5 sets, so this match can be played long.

... again Krygios did an under arm serve which got a smile out of Nadal, we knew it was coming in the match as he seems to like doing these under arm serves.
I don't know why sometimes people complain about him serving under arm. It is not forbidden by the rules so why the hell he wouldn't use it? I heard comments that it is disrespectful. Why would that shot be disrespectful and short ball wouldn't (or lob shot in football)? It is just another way to try to gain advantage.
Saw this moment, bu this is not again any rule. However he complain whole match to referee on Nadal time. So far Kyrgios or any other player should learn that Nadal have ritual for every point.
He always have 3 bottle of water or something else, always takes 2 towels to both sides, he always have some strange ritual with serves, but shoulders nose ears.
Whether what type of ways to make them relax before the game commences, most important is they should maintain focus and strength while in the game. I can see Nadal that he's having that advantages with other players, that's why the upbringing was positive and he would 100% won the match. If every tennis player like Nadal could manage more than that, I guess many Nadal like who could beat him for good rounds.
This tournament is becoming a tournament for upsets with more big names going out. Anderson was one player I was looking to place a bet on to win this year but now he is out. I might not bet at all this year as its to unpredictable right now as anyone can win. Raonic could be the one to challenge the veterans and maybe even win Wimbledon but I won't be betting on him.

Yes my friend, I don't think Nadal likes Kyrgios as he said earlier in the year that Kyrgios doesn't have respect to the player he is facing and the crowd so it will be an interesting match. In Kyrgios match he looked like he was just out there to have fun and not for the tennis so lets see which Kyrgios turns up against Nadal. Djokovic and Anderson are through to the next round, Anderson is the one I'm thinking that could beat one of the big three and even go on to win it. I'm still yet to bet on a player because of the upsets that we are seeing.
Hahaha, a lot of surprises from Nick that's for sure. But I'm expecting him to be serious in this match though, after all it is Nadal and a good upset will be the talk of the tennis world or at least in this tournament. Maybe he can play mind games with Nadal because he knows that Rafa is easily affecting by it.
Federer match and Nick vs Rafa will be like 7-9 hours from now my local time so I guess I can watch some hilights of the game before going to bed. You able to put a bet though in this tournament?
