[Other Sport] Wimbledon 2024

Surprised this didn’t gain much traction here yesterday

Cameron Norrie in a race against the light out on Court 3, two games from victory at 4-2 in the 3rd

Also good to see Katie Boulter earlier (and any time)

If Draper gets through and Norrie does they play each other in the next round

Dart playing Boulter in the next round too

Shame

Draper closing in on a five set win, don’t f*** it up!

Surprised this didn’t gain much traction here yesterday

It got a very late mention last night (post 13).

 

[A1X]

Norrie wins

 

[Flounce]

Draper wins, phew

Lol I have gone too early - not there yet

Got there, that was a bit nervy

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

You’re right though / he needed to go for it more to close it out

 

[KZNSeagull]

Have lost track a bit but I think that makes 10 brits into the second round?
Andy Murray has received a wild card into the mixed doubles playing with Emma Raducanu so that will be fun.

Brighton's Sonay Kartal takes the 1st set 6-3! And she's a break up in the 2nd set.

Putting this into perspective, she's currently 298 in the World compared with 45 for her opponent Clara Burel.

2nd seed Coco Gauff awaits her in Round 3.

Live on BBC2 now.

Kartal now a double break up in the 2nd!

Edit - now just a single break up. Currently 3-1.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Serious lack of notorious Mexican drug gang gags on here - Sonayloa Kartel?

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Too busy watching the tennis! Tables turned now it seems but still fighting

 

[hart's shirt]

Having had 4 points to make it 5-2, it's now 1 set all.

Hopefully Kartal can get it back in the decider.

Edit....and she can! Gets a big net cord to break and go 3-2 up.

Now 4-2.

 

[Clive Walker]

Kartal.....is that a man.... man?

 

[KZNSeagull]

And she WINS!! Great stuff

 

[hart's shirt]

And she's done it! Breaks again to take the 3rd set and match! 6-3 5-7 6-3.

Brighton's Sonay Kartal into Round 3!!!

 

[herecomesaregular]

Wow, that was tense. Well done.

Centre Court (?) v Gauff next...

 

[KZNSeagull]

Emma Raducanu has just thrashed Elise Mertens 6-1, 6-2. Very impressive.

 

[Flounce]

Blinding performance from Radacanu

Didn’t realise Sonny Kartals old man used to run GFC kebab shop in Hove. I reckon I’ve funded half her tennis lessons over the years!!!
