Great achievement and the first British woman to reach the last 32 for ten years. She's pretty fit as well; much more attractive than Laura Robson.

But I can't see her wining the next round

Pironkova was mugged off last night, I hope thr competitions prettiest woman recovers against the Screamer today.

Murray v Karlovic now on centre court, predict this will be a 5 set epic

Doubt it. Once Murray gets on top he ought to sort it ok. Won't be a flowing match though.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

First set sorted for AM. Hope it doesn't go the distance, it's gotta be pretty horrible playing out there in this humidity.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Well played James Ward!

 

[Husty]

Shame to see Ward go out, enjoy watching him much more than I ever will Murray, thought he deserved that match and reaching the third round at Wimbledon would've been massive for him and his ranking.

Nadal 9-9 in 1st set breaker

What on earth is happening to Rafa ? Just about won the first set, lost the second set, a break down in the third - I'm sure he'll win in the end, but really .....

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Blimey Rafa, 2 sets to 1 down. Maybe he wanted a 5 set work-out

Surely he won't let this happen !!!!

James Ward fantastic performance, he looks young so we could start to see TWO Brits playing in week 2 soon! He looks like he has the tools.

How knackered does the court look and we are not even at the end of first week!

Doesn't look that bad, just the usual baseline and serving point spots. There'll be fewer matches on it next week.

Can't believe this Rosol guy has only every played 1 match on grass before. He's playing superbly.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Oooo - we're having the roof on to see the end of this match tonight. 1/2 hour break to get it sorted though. Over to the cricket for a bit, methinks.

Hes 25. Although he did come to the sport later than most and has improved well in recent years.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Restarted. 2 sets all - Rafa just dropped his serve on the first game of the 5th.

 

[DumLum]

Nadal 3-1 down in the final set. This could be the shock of the night, bigger than Germany going out.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Nadal 3-1 down in the final set. This could be the shock of the night, not Germany after going out.

I wouldn't count him out yet, but it's looking dodgy - and Rosol is still terrrific still

 

[Albumen]

Come On Rosol!

 

[Frutos]

Could be an almighty upset here.
