Day 5.....Wimby

Post by rex » Jul Thu 06, 2017 3:51 pm

Nice slate:

Center ct.

Vika v Watson
Rafa v Khachanov (nice player)
Andy v the Fog'

Ct. 1

Johnson v Cilic
Konta v Sakkari
Venus v Naomi

Ct. 2

Peng v Simona
O' v Giorgi (3rd match)
Jo-Willy v Querrey

Other matches:

Cibby v Konjuh


Duly hoping that a men's match will go five on Ct. 2 or 3, for I want to see Venus v Naomi and Ostapenko v Giorgi in toto w/o switching back and forth. For me, an interesting slate.....

Heather Watson playing beautiful, attacking tennis right now.
Vika better be careful.. Could follow Kvitova and Pliskova to the tourists garden.

Saw small parts of Brengle losing to Garcia...
Hard to understand that Kvitova could not beat this girl.


Now Azarenka in action; Watson with the early nerves, it seemed (15-40 down at the start), but then nerves moved to Azarenka who is now 3-0 down in the first set.

Kim C commenting on the russian channel.... nice.... heard her a few days ago too. She is seeing things that you only notice when you've bee na top player too.
She gives the impression that she could be a good caoch.

Interesting....Woods was distracted by women..

LONDON (AP) — Try as they might, the reporters grilling Novak Djokovic couldn't get the three-time Wimbledon champion to criticize John McEnroe for comparing him to Tiger Woods.

McEnroe, himself a three-time champion at the All England Club, said on the BBC that Djokovic was "distracted" and the person who comes to mind in similar circumstances "is not a tennis player, it's actually a golfer: Tiger Woods."

Djokovic was asked about those comments several times at Wimbledon on Thursday after reaching the third round. He beat Adam Pavlasek 6-2, 6-2, 6-1.

"I really don't take anything personal. I always got along very well with John," Djokovic said. "You know, I guess whether that's his opinion or criticism or something else, I'm not really sure. But in the end of the day, I respect everything he says."

Yes he is. On that note, he too is looking very thin. There must be some new skinny diet sweeping both the ATP and WTA.
