Official Wimbledon (and grass court tournies) thread

Watched the induction ceremony on the DVR. At the end, the host said that Mauresmo couldn't be there because of her pregnancy, but that she would walk with the class of 2016.

And implied that Marion Bartoli had given a speech to introduce Mauresmo to the HOF.

But I didn't see Bartoli's speech on the broadcast.

Does anyone know what happened?

I also didn't see any speeches neither introducing another inductee, Nancy Jeffett, nor a speech by Jeffett herself.

I only saw the David Hall speeches on the broadcast.

Ok, I'm reading this article:

tennis.com - Amelie Mauresmo inducted into Tennis Hall of Fame

WTF. They didn't show Pam Shriver's speech presenting Jeffett. Nor the speech by Jeffett herself.

So if someone gave the presentation speech introducing Mauresmo, that wasn't on the broadcast either.

I actually did not see any of it. This was a down year for inductees and I was not even planning to watch it. I did not even get to see the matches yesterday (too busy working around the house). Apparently Ram won and Karlovic beat Sock.

Are you guys watching Davis Cup action on now?

France vs GBR from Queens Club. Murray vs Simon.

One thing I love about Davis Cup is the atmosphere is so much better than any other tournament

Ram wins without breaking serve. Big surprise if you ask me. Ram was not all that impressive in any match but managed to win them all.

Onward to the Hard courts.

No, but I saw the results.

Congrats to GB.

I then started looking up what happened in the earlier rounds. I then saw Isner lost another extended 5 set match, for Davis Cup, in March.

When I have time, I'm going to list all of Isner's extended 5 set matches. I think he has lost every one but the 2010 Wimbledon one vs. Mahut.

This was the Davis Cup one from March:

Round Robin 111
