Too bad Grigor couldn't make it to the finals.

I was pulling for him to get the title, though I had a feeling it was unlikely to happen. A final would have been nice though.

Same...although I do like Fokina too. I hope he wins. I'm so over Tsitsipas.

I had to laugh at his dad getting warned again for coaching. The man doesn't even try to hide it. He pretty much gave the finger to the umpire and laughed.

I think tennis should be like soccer. You should carry over some penalties throughout the tournament. Coaching penalties are an obvious candidate for rollover

I've heard arguments for both sides and while I understand both - I think I agree with this.  Tracy Austin has said similar.  Other people are all for coaching and say 'why not', just allow it and be done.  Tracy has said on a few occasions on the 'no' side, and I think I understand her the most.  It was always part of the sport, the part where you have to do it yourself and be alone out there.  Similar in gymnastics and skating only you're not in a competition directly against someone and in the moment, coaching can't help you in those instances anyway - because you have to be able to just do it in the moment.  But your coach gives you corrections afterward/after the event/apparatus, whatever it is.  If they want to set a specific time aside, like between sets or something then fine.  But between games, in between points, no.  She mentioned on occasion she'd never have won her 2 grand slams if someone had helped the other player with a few tweaks.  It's part of the game.  Sometimes you figure it out, sometimes you don't.  And if they're not allowing it, then enforce it.  I think this is a better idea, and I pretty much never agree with Roddick.

^^I saw this also. Has BBC, ESPN or Tennis Channel confirmed this? I guess I can check myself, lol. I was just wondering if any other sports news sources have reported on this yet.

Here it is, officially:

I had been hearing rumors for about six weeks now but I wanted a verifiable source, and none more verified for Wimbledon than the BBC.
