Djokovic well in charge now. He will have this finished in 3 sets.
Tremendous start to the Championship for the home players. Four have advanced to the 2nd round of the Gentlemenās Singles - the same representation that the USA will have.
To be fair, one of them is about as British as something very Slovenian.
One of the US representatives is Kiev born Denis Kudla.
So a good start for the Central and Eastern Europe region all around then.
fucking Nishikori. he has withdrawn with injury. The guy must be made of glass or something the amount he gets injured.
I hate to criticize my countrymen but having watched the Tomic match, those Aussie supporters are some shower of cunts. This isnāt football, this is gentlemanās lawn tennis you fucking apes.
Those fucking cunts that go to all kinds of events in their yellow t-shirts shouting āAussie, Aussie, Aussieā are a disgrace to world sport.

Nick Krygios displayed some typical Aussie cuntishness today too. Admittedly the linesman who reported him to the umpire for swearing was his stuck up British equivalent
A pair of cunts.

Kyrgios is a cunt and so are those aussie supporters. Kyrgios deserves the fuckers.
Nadal has a pretty handy route to the quarters and Iād expect them to get there even given his poor rent form and his decline at Wimbledon in recent years.
It looks like he will face Murray then who has a potential banana skin in Tonga in round 4 should both progress.
Federer has a handy enough route to the qf and should be facing Berdych there.
Canāt see any of Djokovicās opponents upsetting him, Tomic maybe but highly doubtful. Think his QF with Cilic should be a cracker though.
Wawrinka should make his qf without much trouble, maybe Goffin could give him a game though.
The most competitive section is who will meet Wawrinka in the qf. It will be one of Raonic, Kyrgios and Dimitrov. Really hard to call this one but I will opt for Raonic.
Predicted qf draw:
Djokovic v Cilic
Wawrinka v Raonic
Murray v Nadal
Federer v Berdych
The fanatics, I believe theyāre called. Theyāll be in force for the Ashes as well next week.
Dustin Brown his opponent today won their only previous meeting in straight sets. That was on the grass in Halle last year.
I expect Dusty to at least take a set today.
He might take a set, but I would expect Nadal to extract revenge for last yearās reversal at Halle.
The quarter final line up will be more or less along the lines of what Nembo Kid has predicted. Kyrgios v Raonic will be interesting tomorrow and looks the most likely early upset of the top seedings. I havenāt looked at who lies in the way for Berdych, but heās the other one there that could be prone to an early stumble.
Tomic (if heās in the mood) could put it up to Djokovic tomorrow but would still expect Novak to prevail.
James Ward has advanced to Round 3. An all British quarter final showdown with Andy Murray, still very much on.
Some start by brown taking the first set against nadal.
Brown going for everything. Hitting first serves for second serves.
Brown simply canāt sustain that sort of gameplan over a match for 3 sets+.
Nadal out of sorts but Iād expect him to advance here.
