Cracking game and a great win for the WTA ranked 103rd. With Maria's nerve under pressure, it's ridiculous to think that she'd only reached one GS 3rd Round since 2007. According to Wiki, her lifetime earnings pre-tournament were US$3.5m. A guaranteed £535,000 is going to help there.

:lolol: "Been on the pop in the office since 10.00am. Bubbly, vodka, ice cold cans of stella and now more vodka red bull." https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?42216-An-emotional-apology-to-all

Sunday 29th January 1984 FA Cup 4th Round Brighton and Hove Albion 2 Liverpool 0 My abiding memory of the game was seeing fans still celebrating the 1st goal when the 2nd goal went in! A great write-up of the game on...

Bigmouth strikes again.

If we sign him, let's hope he plays a blinder against them. Don't get mad, get Steven.

You're probably right, but I've got a feeling that it's going to be Ons Jabeur's year. She loves her football too.

Kyrgios the model of good behaviour today. Which no doubt suited the umpire, but not him. A flat performance, but he did enough to come through. Get his QF on in the late afternoon / evening with a noisy crowd and we'll get the best (and worst) of him.

Norrie through in straight sets again to his first QF. Next up - David Goffin, ranked 58th in the World, who came through in 5 sets. A great chance of making the Semi-Final.

Not an option we should pursue. If Mickey got sent off, we'd end up with a case of suspended animation.

She's clearly doing her best to avoid a TV clash with Norrie.

They've messed up the scheduling today with Watson and Norrie who'll be playing at the same time. Should've put his match 3rd on Court 1 instead of 2nd. Still, seeing all the old champions back in the Centre Court ceremony was worth it. Even if it did mean listening to Cliff singing Summer...

I agree. It's an animal I've always looked up to.

What coolness under pressure to play those shots in the tie-breaker. A great match by both players. Another seed falls and the route to the Semi-Final and a possible match-up with Nadal looks promising for Kyrgios. R4 - Nakashima QF - Garin or De Minaur (19) He's never been past the...

The scheduling for Centre Court and Court No 1 went a little awry today for the sporting VIPs. On Centre, all-American fayre with Gauff losing and 2 matches with possible straight sets wins for Badosa and Nadal. On No. 1, British interest, the #1 seed Swiatek crashing out and Kyrgios /...

Tsitsipas point penalty. Kyrgios winning both the match and the psychological war. Regardless of the rights and wrongs, it's a good watch.

The tournament referee is waiting in the wings...

"I'm not playing until we get the Supervisor." Kyrgios complaining about Tsitsipas knocking the ball out after the end of the 2nd set. One code violation each, one set each. Decent Saturday night entertainment. And on we go...

They'll let anyone into Wimbledon these days...

Jones should've gone months ago, but now needs to go and go fast after this Tour to give us any chance in RWC 2023. Consistently underperforming in the 6N. Comprehensively outplayed by the French. We've gone backwards.
