Djokovic - Shapovalov could be an interesting match even though Djokovic will be a massive favourite and will most likely win handily enough - hopefully Shapovalov will show some progress.

I'd love to see Raonic do well here. Really looked to be making the breakthrough in 2016 but has struggled so much with injuries since.

good to see him back but he has such a boring game to watch imo.

yes. Zverev wildly inconsistent though - huge amount of double faults.

would imagine that he should beat the Aussie Bolt in the next round, despite the partisan crowd that he will face but Raonic seems to be back in form and will be a big big test.

Zverev struggling against (by elite tennis stds) the journeyman's journeyman Jeremy Chardy.

Has just gone to a 5th set in a 4th set tie-break now.

Not convincing at all, even tho Chardy is really fighting and took a huge risk at 6-6 in the tie-break to bang in a big second serve which proved crucial to give him the set point which got him the set.

SophieLockhart

Don't say Sasha is going to bomb out early again.

Djokovic vs Tsonga on now, thought it was all over there when Djokovic broke Tsonga to go 3-1 up in the first set but fair play to Tsonga he has broke back. I hope Tsonga can give a Djokovic a game.

I signed up for the Eurosport Player using a Bargain Alerts link before Christmas and it looks like I have a choice of 5 different matches to watch.
Are they all live or are some of them just replays?

All live. Every court is being shown on Eurosport Player. If you log on after midnight this week you'll get a larger choice than just five matches, all of them live.

Kevin Anderson so technically poor last night it was unreal granted he seemed to have a slight injury to his shoulder or elbow.

Bastista Agut is in another marathon 5 setter, Aussie Millman has come from 2 sets down against him. If Bastista Agut gets through this he will be exhausted for the next round. Millman must be the slight favorite to win this.

Am really annoyed with the coverage of Eurosport on SKY, i wanted to see the highlights of djokovic's match today but all i've seen so far is all the british players matches, all the women's matches. Yesterday they made sure to repeat Federer's match which i'm fine with as he's the defending champion. i might have missed the highlights but i've been checking every hour or so and still no sign of highlights of the world number 1 player, Wimbledon and US Open champion. Is Eurosport just too biased or what?? and don't get me started on the Rolex ads, not a single mention of 6 time winner djokovic!!!

He's not sponsored by Rolex, so they can't use his image in their ads. All the rest are either sponsored or were able to sign a release. Djokovic is sponsored by Seiko, so he can't sign a release with Rolex.

You can get highlights (ranging from 5 to 15 minutes) on YouTube if Eurosport don't end up showing it.

I've been saying this for ages as well. If you ever look at Federer/Nadal when they **** up a point, they immediately collect themselves. And you can see them start to focus inwards and think about what went wrong.

A lot of the younger ones seem to just throw tantrums when it doesn't go their way. Murray was also a huge example of this, constantly moaning and looking up to mammy in the box. It really held him back.

Nole can be guilty of it too at times, but he seems to be able to push through it.

Aye. He has enough raw talent so it doesn't hamper his game as much.

Worse thing they did was allow coaching during matches on the women's tour. A big part of the game is figuring out a way to win on your own when things aren't going your way.

I see that “The Coach” feature is no longer part of Game Schett and Mats.

All because of the fallout from Serena-gate?

Thiem is mentally weak, it's a shame these new young lads just aren't up for it ... it's on serve in the 5th and his shoulders are slumped, he needs to stop thinking of the 2-0 lead he had and just finish the job, still needs to win one more set, same as 2/0.

Thats the way you think of these things, dammit I should go into coaching :P

Funny you should mention that, Annabel Croft was just talking about that today. She said players today dont seem to be able to cope with the stresses in the game and need to vent at their boxes. This was after the Halep match.
