But showed his class in the fifth!

Indeed, I thought he was gone after the third, class player

Radacanu now looking like a contender

Gotta love Emma when she's at her best.

Smashed a top 10 tonight.

Great to watch.

Sakkari is a joke of a top 10 player but still pleasing to see Raducanu play well, glad i recently stopped betting against her (previously easy money).

The only interest I have in football at the moment is Albion related, most games I’ve watched in the Euros have annoyed and bored me in equal measure. I am watching Wimbledon in preference to the Euros. Is there something wrong with me??

I am, though, very very excited about what is going on at the Albion, can’t wait for the season to start!

Novak Djokovic calling out the Centre Court crowd for booing him.

The crowd were apparently chanting “Rune!”

Makes Graham Potter look positively thick-skinned.

Djokovic is a dick, funny when he pretends to be injured to put the opponent off their stride it's not cheating

Crowd were clearly chanting Rune, same way Luke or Root, or Jude

I used to dislike Djokovic, particularly during the vaccine palava around the Aussie Open. However, I read a couple of his books and watched him more closely and I've completely changed my mind on him. He's a very positive person dedicated to his sport. Just because his mannerisms aren't great sometimes and that he uses the crowd energy (sometimes just one person in the crowd) to raise his game doesn't make him a dick imo. He is a bit sensitive but that isn't a crime in my book. Absolutely the greatest player of all time too. Love to watch him. It's a shame so many of the other players (Sinner, Zverev, Fritz) are so dull in comparison.

Been a few times but this year was the first time we got tickets + purchased them. Lovely day out on Court One. Expensive day out but nice to have finally done it properly

He was acting like a child on court today

Maybe, maybe not. I watched the whole game, the "Rooon-ing" was predominantly when Djokovic won a point rather than celebrating when Rune won a point. Djokovic obviously used it to raise his game and smashed the bloke off the park. Added a bit of spice to what was a very easy win for him. Was hoping for a bit of spice from Rune but he seemed resigned to losing from the off.

Not a fan but an astonishingly good player. Last night he behaved like a stroppy teenager with a massive chip on his shoulder in the post match interview. If he comes up against Alcaraz or Sinner it will be box office, what’s not to like?

His over bouncing of the ball before he serves winds me up far more than it should too

Djokovic is a self important and arrogant prat of the highest order, from his families support of Putin to his selfish stance on covid vaccines I consider him the least likeable of any current major sports star and that is saying something.

Interesting and heartfelt backing for Djokovic from John McEnroe on the post match rant.

Novak Djokovic: John McEnroe says Wimbledon great is tennis Darth Vader after Centre Court crowd row

After Novak Djokovic has another run-in with the Wimbledon crowd, John McEnroe compares the Serb to Darth Vader.

Alcaraz is f***ing box office, absolute flair master

Love watching him
