Easy 4th for Roger

On to the Round of 16

 

[bksballer89]

tsonga down 2 sets to 1 to karlovic

 

[bksballer89]

Just once in my life, I want to have a ticket to the best day of tennis which is Manic Monday at Wimbledon.

To have ground pass tickets on that day must be so much fun.

 

[cezero]

i'd rather watch just about anything than a karlovic match

incredibly boring no matter who he plays

overall, just a very boring day of tennis

 

[bksballer89]

Down goes Tsonga

jankovic is driving kvitova a little crazy

headcase tennis going to a 3rd set

 

[cezero]

Anyone know when the Williams sisters play against each other?

It's Monday. Not sure why people get excited about it. Terrible matches where neither every plays anything near their best tennis. I can't imagine how hard it would be.

First response to Murray's tweet about Heather Watson is golden:

 

[bksballer89]

jankovic is driving kvitova a little crazy

headcase tennis going to a 3rd set

And she wins.

I think we're looking at a Keys/Wozniacki semi finals.

I'm going with Wozniacki vs Serena a week from now in the finals

Ward and Pospisil 6-6 in the 5th but Ward facing 2 break points

 

[cezero]

Popsicle served amazingly in that last set. Good for him.

 

[cezero]

monfils/simon started. it's on espn3, or channel 704 with directv

should be a better match than the murray steamrolll of seppi

 

[bksballer89]

Highly doubt Simon/Monfils will be able to finish today

 

[bksballer89]

Seppi up 5-1 in the 3rd and serving up 5-1 for the set

 

[bksballer89]

Seppi with the early break in the 4th.

 

[cezero]

pretty sure murray is legitimately hurt

he's been on fire for awhile now, so this is a real shame

 

[bksballer89]

Injury timeouts should only be done on your serve.

It freezes the server when you take the injury timeout on your oppents serve

 

[bksballer89]

Back on serve.

I think both players were lying about their injuries for the record

 

[cezero]

i wasn't watching. just saw the 1-6 set from murray and assumed he was hurt.

i guess there's just a bunch of gamesmanship going on, which is pathetic.

there's an endless debate about timeouts, but my thought is that it's not fair to punish the legitimately injured who need immediate treatment regardless of serve for the actions of a few children who bend the rules. there was a time when it was abused much worse, believe it or not. nole was crazy with it as a youngster. murray, too, until lendl broke him of it.

Looks like they're going to move Monfils/Simon over to Centre court for some night tennis!!!!

Monfils up a break. We may be here a while if Monfils force a 5th
