There have been a couple of entertaining matches but most of the matches have been a definite skip for me. Serena, even though she lost, her match was an on the edge of your seat type thriller. Most of these matches have been dull but most of the players themselves have pretty lackluster personalities.

Cam Norrie vs Steve Johnson.... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Damn talk about a shitty match.

That Venus/Jamie MXD match was a delight. Should have won it in straight sets but came through in the third set.

It's sad that a doubles match is more entertaining than the whole tournament.😂

It would be good if at least an appreciation for doubles could be cultivated but we know it’s unlikely to go beyond the tournament. Oh well. I guess the lighter viewing/streaming schedule allows me to get actual work done during the day.

Anisimova came through and I’m not mad at it. Hopefully there will be a nice little rivalry developing between Anisimova and Gauff. It could push each young woman to get better and it could be really good for women’s tennis and tennis overall. The sport could kind of use it right now.

You can tell Alizé Cornet was unfazed by Iga Swiatek’s game on grass. Cornet beat Serena a few times so I knew Cornet was going to relish taking on and the possibility of taking out the current #1. Others of the WTA will likely be taking note.

Swiatek’s spell was broken. Cornet picked up on the vulnerabilities and exploited them.

ABC live coverage?

Nice to see Kyle Edmund back on the court playing mixed doubles at Wimbledon.

Jack Sock playing mixed doubles with Coco?

I'm positive Sock is a racist.

Not that it means *anything* in terms of his potential bigotry, but he used to date Sloane. She really leveled up with her husband.

It’s a shame that players doing well won’t see any ranking benefits from playing here:

 

I'm waiting for Nick and Stefano to come to blows.

Van Rijthoven has a huge serve for someone of his height. A very entertaining player. I wonder how he’ll fare off the grass. Again, sad that he won’t get points from this, but maybe he’ll eke out a few wildcards like he did for this tournament.

That Wimbledon 100 ceremony, as nice as it was to see Venus was a total distraction to someone who hadn’t competed on a tennis court until this tournament for almost a year. Couldn’t they have waited until tomorrow? And only one POC on that damn court. What a legacy!
