Here we go again. Hopefully we'll see some great matches over the next fortnight.
To be fair Sakkari is still playing well in flits and starts, Raducanu did well to save two more break points on her own serve, she is serving really well! (Commentators just confirmed she has faced 7 break points saved them all, first serve in for each).
That is an absolutely cracking win and performance from Raducanu against Sakkari, takes her third match point 6-2, 6-3. So few unforced errors! Excellent serving too.
Into the fourth round again. And I doubt very much she’ll retire with breathing issues.
Lulu Sun in the next round for Raducanu, not a player I am familiar with I must admit came through qualifiers.
Sinner a set up in about 20 mins flat, and before the balls were even changed 😳
I'd say poor Kecmanovic doesn't know what's hit him! I hope he can make some sort of a game of it.
Raducanu just retired Andy Murray 😂
Norrie definitely gave it his all in that third set against Zverev!
Swiatek down a break in the third set..gone..very poor in second and third set. I see Jabeur also gone.
Djokovic playing poorly and about to lose the 1st set
Djokovic did lose first set to Popyrin, not much in it, he had 1 break point and took it! Served well.
And she getting a whole load of flak for it , even from Andy Murrays mother which is fairly classless I'd argue.
Why the hell should she risk her own career to give Andy Murray a farewell match.
Djokovic 4-1 up....some distractions from the crowd watching the euros clearly ha
Exactly it happens all the time.
She has chronic wrist pain and had multiple surgeries, needs to look after herself.
Ha ha players having a good laugh, the pimms will be flowing in the crowd after the England win anyway!
Djokovic takes second set 6-3...into third set.
Djokovic takes the third breakpoint chance in opening game...ominous!
Djokovic through in 4 sets, he is creaking a bit imo Sinner or Alcaraz should both be capable of taking him out (just about!).
I don't think he will meet either of those. His mobility is nowhere near where it needs to be and it's only a month since he had surgery on his knee. He's obviously still protecting it.
I don't know why he's there tbh. He's risking being at the Olympics for a zero chance of winning Wimbledon. Maybe he's trying to salvage as many ranking points as possible to remain in the 2/3 side of the draw for the US Open? He'll never be #1 again.
what did he have done to his knee ?
also the hell is Judy Murray up to ? I don’t understand why they played the video and had sue barker come back and have all the big deal for the men’s doubles then ? Also some of the comments on twitter towards Emma raducanu are **** pathetic.
Repairing his torn meniscus from Roland Garros.

Ignoring the sensationalism, this vid explains a little what exactly was done and why he was able to be back playing after a month.
okay there’s grades of meniscus tears. I saw enough of them. He must be okay to be playing but I’d say he’s not at 100%.
It's raining so heavily that you can hear it on the roofs in both main courts.
Did Mammy Murray have anything to say about her son pulling out of the first round of the singles at the last minute, denying someone else a chance to play at Wimbledon this year?
I don't agree with her comment at all (she is predictably back pedaling saying it was sarcasm) but Andy Murray did not deny anyone in the singles from playing at the last minute, a lucky loser came in David Goffin.
Anyway back to the actual tennis, Alcaraz serving for the match against Humbert and takes it, quality contest.
Raducanu next!
Raducanu broken in opening game...yikes.
This girl can play!
Whether she can keep it up for the whole match remains to be seen.....
Very impressive so far! Up a double break! Raducanu looks shell shocked
Raducanu on the board and with a break back, bit more like it!
Sun serving for first set 5-2...Raducanu not really at it so far...
