faraway saint Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Norrie currently winning, with some to spare. 2-0 in sets, be a massive surprise of he loses this from here, the American isn't great TBH. At the same time Norrie hasn't been outstanding, Murray, IMO, would probably beat both of these guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrie easily through against a very disappointing American who's head seemed to go down early in the 2nd set. Anyhow, Norrie sails through, TWO players into week two, I never seen that coming, only thought Norrie had a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 First up today, at 11:00 is Miss Tan against the GB player Boulter. Hoping for a good game. Liam Broady up against Boulters boyfriend De Minaur who defeated another Brit on Thursday night. De Minaur seemed very one dimensional, hard hitting, lots of baseline rallies with little finesse. Not seen much of Broady so not sure how this will go. After this match, the main event for me, Kyrgios v Tsitsipas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Well, a faultless match from Tan. 6-1, 6-1, hard to see where this form has come from but a joy to watch. Early bath for Boulter. Match over in under an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broddie out gunned, 3-0 to De Minaur, who I've probably been a wee bit hard on, he is a hard hitting baseline slugger but he is very consistent and generates some power for a guy with a slight build. Looking forward to the Kyrgios game, more variation guaranteed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Kyrgios match certainly provided entertainment. Over the top at times, especially from Kyrgios, some outstanding tennis but the antics will be the major talking point. Anyhow, that will be detailed elsewhere, Kyrgios wins in 4 sets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Big day for the last remaining Brits. Wee Heather first up on Centre Court just after 1:00pm with Norrie on Court No 1 sometime later. Watsons opponent is ranked 97th, Watson 121, both must see this as a chance in a lifetime to reach the quarters, although the German is still only 22. Norrie's opponent is ranked 32, Norrie 12. After yesterday's show today will be more focussed on the tennis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Wimbledon, celebrating 100 years, rolled out past winners, many greats that have graced the tournament over the years.

faraway saint Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Norrie up 2 sets, 6-4, 7-5 and has just broken early in the third. A real tennis match, not a lot between them, both players playing well. Edited July 3, 2022 by faraway saint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 WHAT a match on Centre Court, Sinner 2-1 up against the new wonder boy Alcaraz. Alcaraz just won the 3rd set tie break. Watching these two guys is one of the reasons I'm not convinced Norrie could win the tournament, but at this stage not a great deal in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Norrie on today in quarter final day. Unfortunately I'll not see much but he's certainly in with a shout against Goffin. I see it as a fifty/fifty match, 4 or 5 sets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
