Draper v Norrie game is quite good apart from the mild annoyance of Andrew Castle.
Such a shame the draw put them up against each other so early in the competition, the same as it did with Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart. I didn't want any of them to lose! But it was interesting that both Number 2s made it to the next round, although I suppose it did mean a Brit got through!
Raducanu pulls out of the mixed doubles due to a sore wrist. Murrey's Wimbledon career is now over.

Alcaraz given some problems by Humbert. Looked like it could go to five sets. However Carlos just turned it on at the end. If you get the chance watch the penultimate game. Just amazing running but also blistering shots. What I love about him is that he screwed up an easy point (in another game near the end). Rather than hold back on the next point he hit two or three shots within centimetres of the line

Some very fine tennis from Emma and Lulu and for a qualifier so impressive.
Impressive or puzzling? She is not young (23) and her ranking is 123. She just seems to be going for winners and Emma is helping out by not putting her under enough pressure. Too many tame mid court balls that Lulu can take a chance with.Gassing Station | Sports | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
