    Shame, but Murray can be proud of his performance. At the respective stages of their careers added to Andy's injury history, Tsitsipas should be beating him much more easily than he did.

    He's a bit grumpy Murray but I don't mind him, seems OK. Played well, obviously a lot of character. Think this guy will prob go pretty far.

    I'll be surprised if he goes past the quarters given he's not overly comfortable on grass.

    They shafted him aswell yesterday putting him on at seven …. Didn’t help women a game before girl got injured had medical then played on seemingly Murray was asking for 3 and they knocked him back because higher ranked are supposed to get 3 o’clock berths

    When did they start this Pish (at Wimbledon) of having an on court interview with the winner of each match?

    Pure Americanised nonsense….

    Play yer game … wave at the crowd … and * off!

    started during Covid era when it was safer to interview in the open rather than closed environment. Before then the players would be interviewed after the game in tunnel

    Yeah she's great for her age. Her and Fruhvirtova are the ones to watch on the women's side.

    Not sure if they were booing that last player off because she was Belarusian, or if they were booing the other lassie that won because she wasn't going to shake hands with any Russians or Belarusians. They seemed to be booing while Azerenka was walking off, she seemed a bit taken aback. * she meant to do if the other lassie isn't going to shake her hand. I wouldn't be hanging about either.

    Aye just cause she's from Belarus. All a bit pathetic and that Svitolina seems a bit of a boot. Quite right to just walk off.

    They showed the interviews with both players after the Djokavic match and she basically said what I was thinking, wondering what she was meant to do.

    Alcaraz v Berrettini is going to be a cracker, 50/50 if you ask me, actually i lean ever so slightly for the Big Italian who like Rybakina is find form and match practice actually in the tournament.

    I put a few quid on Berrettini at 66/1 before Wimbledon started, he really does have a chance. Novak obviously the favourite, Sinner being his biggest threat perhaps on that side of the draw.

    Berrettini's backhand is what will prevent him ever winning a slam.
