2019 Wimbledon - Gentlemen singles

[The Green Mile]

Herbert throwing his racquet after that missed opportunity in that point, knows he's playing like dogsh1t.

 

[The Green Mile]

Can't remember the last time I saw Herbert play this badly, looks lost out there.... Serve is pretty subpar, it's making Kevin look like Djokovic out there...

 

[The Green Mile]

Kevin must be around 90% 1st serve points won, the unreturned percentage seems very high as well.

 

[The Green Mile]

Herbert picking the Tee serve, preemptively moving and strikes a clean deep return, draws the error. 0-30 here....

Stan is up and running, though. 2 sets to 0.

Here's a chance for Herbert... and no.

I would watch Stan instead but I'm limited to TV broadcast only at the moment

 

[The Green Mile]

These 2nd serves from Anderson though, so clutch. 111 mph and 118 mph, deep body serves to save 2 of the 3 BPs in this game. An ace to save the 3rd.

Great hold for 5-3.

Stan has looked very interested so far. Keen on winning in straights, I guess. Hope he has something to offer this tournament!
Bemelmans is overpowered and outfoxed so far.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

"Stan Wawrinka is trying to complete the Career Grand Slam by winning the Gentlemen's Singles at Wimbledon"

I wonder if he will achieve that.

 

[albertobra]

Where is the thread of the (official) opening match on centre court?

 

[The Green Mile]

Kevin takes a two sets to love lead...

 

[The Green Mile]

Superior depth control and weight of shot, Herbert still managed to keep the scoreline somewhat respectable.

Broken early in all sets, DF and Kevin leads 1-0 in the 3rd. Contemplates smashing his racquet.

 

[Atennisone]

Soonwoo Kwon breaks Khachanov.

 

[junior74]

Stan through, very comfortably so

3-2-2

 

[I Am Finnish]

Looking good Stanley

 

[The Green Mile]

Seven BPs have come and gone for Herbert, first six were on Kevin's racquet, Herbert with a wild miss on the backhand on his 7th chance, completely mistiming it...

Herbert belting his racquet hard against his shoe a few times

 

[The Green Mile]

Kevin through comfortably, 6/3 6/4 6/2. "Outclassed" is putting it pretty nicely...

 

[EloQuent]

I actually had Kandy losing - guess Wimbledon seeding is smarter than me.

 

[EloQuent]

Servebot Opelka wins 63 76 61...

 

[The Green Mile]

These first three serves, Novak seems to have a little more explosive movement on the motion.... Wow, Goran, wow....

 

[Atennisone]

These first three serves, Novak seems to have a little more explosive movement on the motion....

Djokovic has added Ivanesevic serve to his game.

 

[Atennisone]

Break for Kohlschreiber.

 

[TheIntrovert]

Savour this sight. A clean baseline

 

[TheIntrovert]

I’m surprised there isn’t a match thread for this. This is potentially a very tricky opponent for Djokovic. Already lost to him and it’s novaks first match

 

[The Green Mile]

Djokovic has added Ivanesevic serve to his game.

Well, it seems he's added his 120 mph double fault anyway

 

[Atennisone]

For the match, we really need a 2-0 lead now.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Koli breaks and now he gives it right back lol

 

[Atennisone]

I’m surprised there isn’t a match thread for this. This is potentially a very tricky opponent for Djokovic. Already lost to him and it’s novaks first match

It's probably because it's on Grass, but anyway shock start.

 

[Atennisone]

That was the 1st set.

 

[icedevil0289]

maybe this will be the only game kohli wins this set

 

[Centrius]

Djokovic breaks back right away.

 

[mightyrick]

Wow, I cannot believe how heavy and slow the balls are.

 

[albertobra]

WTA on centre court

 

[Atennisone]

Does someone know if Gulbis is injured, I mean Mayer is not really a player who breaks thrice on 4 tries.

 

[Centrius]

2-1 Djokovic holds.

 

[Inside out FH]

Anybody got a good stream for Djokovic-Kohlschreiber ?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Center Court on the 1st day is really an awesome sight.

 

[joekapa]

Hardly any bounce on the ball.

 

[N01E]

Kohlschreiber is a very good opponent for Novak in the first round. Not an easy one, but good. He gives you a lot of time, so Djokovic can feel the rhytm. Worked for him in 2015.

 

[Red Rick]

Literally the first point of Wimbledon I watch is Djokovic hitting a 1st serve return on the baseline.

 

[Centrius]

3-1 Djokovic breaks.

 

[The Green Mile]

"Where would you rate Djokovic's return?" It's not a Djokovic match until the commies start discussing this...

 

[Red Rick]

"Where would you rate Djokovic's return?" It's not a Djokovic match until the commies start discussing this...

Just a bit better than his overheads.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Kohli hits a 1st serve that was close to being out.

I shout that was out!

Djoko returns it on the baseline and forces an error.

Nevermind, it was in when I think about it.

 

[Red Rick]

"Where would you rate Djokovic's return?" It's not a Djokovic match until the commies start discussing this...

They heard you

Better talk about his ball bouncing

 

[junior74]

Hardly any bounce on the ball.

Slow like clay, but with a low bounce... played on skates

Very strange to watch. I give the camera angle a lot of the blame. The image is twice as wide as it is deep, the opposite of a tennis court

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

You just knew they would show Ivanisevic after Djokovic serveboted his way to a hold.

 

[Red Rick]

Can we give a very, very slow clap for Patrick Stebe, who got breadsticked by Opelka on grass

 

[Centrius]

4-1 Djokovic.

 

[The Green Mile]

Djokovic is serving 120-124 mph consistently so far, rarely dropping below 120 off the 1st serve. Goran, you SOB
