[Mustard]

Malisse has beaten Ferrero 6-2, 6-7, 7-6, 4-6, 6-1.

 

[rainingaces]

Isner mahut going to finish under the roof tonight?

 

[JeMar]

And the legacy of Monfils-Fognini lives on.


Play suspended on Mahut-Isner.

 

[JeMar]

Isner mahut going to finish under the roof tonight?

Nope, gonna finish tomorrow.

 

[CCNM]

Grrr to Baggy, Blake, & Verdasco

 

[Fedace]

What ,,,what happend to Blake ?????? he was supposed to take Nadal to 5 sets.............??

 

[Justin Side]

What ,,,what happend to Blake ?????? he was supposed to take Nadal to 5 sets.............??

Knee injury, 30 years old, getting worse each year......All signs point to a player going over the hill.

 

[djokster]

Federer is third on in COURT 1 TOMORROW!?!?!?!? Why not center court? Doesn't make sense...

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Correct on all counts. His post match presser gave a lot of insight into the nature of the knee injury, seems like it could be something chronic and potentially career-ending.

[shadows]

I hate how late in the day play starts

 

[JeMar]

Hmm, no proper thread for Roddick and Llodra. I guess I can make one.

 

[JeMar]

Roddick/Llodra match thread

 

[Love Game]

whew ... what a relief it is that Melzer finally took a set (the third) ....... Troicki leading 76 64 36

===========

mahut vs. isner now on court to finish the fifth set.

isner now 64 36 67 76 .... called for darkness.

I think the overnight rest is going to help mahut, but isner's average serve yesterday was around 135 MPH

 

[Love Game]

ace-fest out on court 18: Mahut 35; Isner 37

(both have a long way to go to catch ivo karlovic 62 in one match)

:shock:

p.s. they've completed 10 games in 30 minutes ... 5 all

 

[norbac]

Melzer completes a comeback from two sets down to take it in 5.

 

[Mustard]

Karlovic hit 78 aces in one match, against Stepanek in 2009 Davis Cup. And Karlovic lost that match.

 

[TomatoSoup]

Hewitt in cruising mode. Dangerous floater.

 

[GhostDog]

Watch Monfils choke away the match against Beck. :wink:

 

[Mustard]

Hewitt is 2 sets up against Korolev.

 

[Starfury]

18:18 in the fifth now. And only 4-5 hours until it's too dark to continue

Both players winning 5 out of 6 points on their own serve on average. That could really go on for a while.

 

[robin7]

Kohly just won in 5.

 

[robin7]

Evans has 3 SP...

2 saved.

He is 2 sets to 1 up...

 

[norbac]

Wow, I'm loving this year's Wimbledon...and it's only day 3.

The young German Brands up two sets to one and a break on Davydenko. I like Brands, big serve he has....

 

[Guamanian G]

Federer is ALWAYS my favorite. But I voted for Nadal Fed is to shaky right now. I hope they both make the final! I'm rooting for Darth Fed but I think Nadal is sharp

 

[Wolland]

A bit surprising that Federer is leading in the poll. He won't be able to the title this year. He just does not seem to be on at the moment. Nadal is the clear favourite, that's for sure.

Have to agree there, based on current form Fed is definitely beatable.

haha well Isner's now got that record in hand easily

 

[bezs]

Mahut might just nick that ace record as well

 

[Justin Side]

Mahut might just nick that ace record as well

Isner- 98 aces so far.
Mahut- 95 aces so far.

Looks like both should reach 100 tomorrow unless something shocking happens. Like a quick break of serve or a freak injury.

 

[Justin Side]

Melzer completes a comeback from two sets down to take it in 5.

He's on quite a roll this last month for a guy that wasn't expect to do much. Should be a very close 3rd rounder vs Lopez.

Apparently the Queen asked Navritalova if she had played here often!

 

[CMM]

Haase is an ace machine.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Hasse doing a good job of not being intimidated. He should give Almagro, Robredo, and Nalbandian lessons...

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

A few too many errors >.<
2-2 Haase

 

[Semi-Pro]

Could someone make a thread for the Nadal Haase match?

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Haase very convincing so far. Return could use some work though

 

[bezs]

Was watching a program highlight of the day's play and a player think it was Ferrer accidentally bumped into a lady line judge while chasing a point and she totally fell over.

 

[NADALbULLS]

Anna Chakvetadze got sexi legs.

 

[Mustard]

Mahut is back out on Court 18, playing doubles with Clement against Skupski/Fleming. It's currently 2-2 in the first set.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Montanes-Djokovic

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Montanes holds easily for 1-1. Oh, did I say easily? I meant with just about as much difficulty as possible

Djo *1-1 30-15 Mon

Montanes's return on grass is awful

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

For some reason everyone is watching De Bakker destroy Isner. This is a good match, Djoker playing well, Montanes fighting til the last shot as always. Vamos Albert!

Djo *3-1 0-30 Mon

 

[seffina]

Look at Lu! Up two sets. A bit of a surprise here.

 

[norbac]

Hanescu/Brands in a dogfight. Hanescu already served for it at 5-4 and had match points, then had some more at 5-6 and another one at the tiebreak, but Brands takes the tiebreak with a monstrous forehand. Go Brands!

Brands takes the fourth 6-3.

And it's over, Hanescu retires after being 0-3 down in the fifth. First Wimbledon ever for Brands and makes the second week, great result for him. Saved 4 match points along the way too.

 

[iriraz]

Hanescu gets booed as he leaves the court.He gave up the match at 2-0 after reciving a code violation for swearing at someone in the crowd by making 3 intentional double faults and then retiring
