It’s ok Benny. BTW, did you manage to watch the Shapo vs Berankis match? I couldn’t watch that as not telecast here at my country, was Shapo really that bad, even on grass?
Shapo has been quite dis […]

Fed in three and Verdasco in five.
Fed should be playing at a high level by now and Berrettini will be tired after playing 4+ hours with only a day’s rest after that. He has played lots of tennis already t […]

Rafa is serving well and hitting his FH very well; his one two punch tennis is/was impressive that had Kyrgios praising him for that. I do think that Rafa should continue playing this way on grass and on the […]

Well, after the Kyrgios match, had it be Shapo instead of Tsonga in R3, I do feel Rafa would still be able to beat Shapo. Shapo’s go for broke style would end up with more errors than winners. The fact that T […]

You forget that Fed played his QF vs Anderson last year on C1?

How can four QFs be played on CC?? Two will be played at C1. Matches at CC and C1 start from 1pm local time.

I read some twitter comments from the Fed fans, they’re complaining about the slow surface, as if Wimbledon deliberately slows it down. They’re saying all these favor Rafa, like they’re helping him in the slam […]

So, I doubt the Wimbledon committee has done anything different to the grass this year, its more to do with the weather. Perhaps they are using heavy balls too.
Drier grass maybe benefit Rafa? But, heavy balls […]

Littlefoot, Rafa won his USO in 2010 and 2013 too, when the surfaces there weren’t as slow as 2017/2018. When Rafa won the USO in 2010, some people claimed that’s because USO slowed down the surface! It’s as if […]

I do think the slower surface, not the heavier ball, is the reason why some of the big servers don’t do well this year. But, I’ve to say it’s still the form of the players concerned that’s more important than th […]

Fed is not so bad to be honest. He’s so quick around the court, served well, volleyed well, and not missing anything when at the net. Some of his gets were simply unbelievable for a man his age! He even moved b […]

I think the grass seems slow because of the hot weather there. I think the grass dried up quicker than normal, not so sleek and therefore the bounce gets higher too. They may be using a heavier ball? Fed […]

Berrittini finally wins the marathon match. Schwarzman is fast becoming another Simon, he’s so very hard to beat, even on grass?!! Even players like Djoko and Rafa find it so hard to put him away. I will never […]

Berrittini is in a long hard battle with Schwarzman, looks like he’s about to win in five sets in 4+hours.
I think it’ll be Fed vs Berrittini and Rafa vs Evans in R4.

Boris Becker is right about Pouille, and we both agreed that Pouille isn’t doing himself any favor rushing the net.
Fed can do everything better than him when at the net; he should instead stay back and gets […]

It’s just like Kei or Coric playing against Djoko, junior version vs adult version, not going to win most of the time.

I think a player like Hurkacz would do better than Pouille against Fed, because Hurkacz at least could serve big and hit hard to force Fed to stay at the baseline.
Pouille really has no big weapons to trouble […]

Watching Pouille here makes me appreciate Rafa and Djoko even more. I mean, Pouille’s reflexes and anticipation is no where near those two guys.
Fed will always rush the net to pressurise his opponents but […]

I’m impressed with Pouille so far in this match, he really comes to play, not folding in front of his idol. The match is quite competitive so far.
I think Pouille coming to the net is not the right s […]

BTW, what happened to the Struff vs Kukushkin match? Why is it suspended?
