There are plenty of tennis haters on NSC who won’t even be watching. Can’t complain though, I am exactly the same with cricket zzzzzzz

Me too

I don't like cricket.

I love it.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I am watching too, and was so engrossed that I forgot about NSC.

Herzog has shown some bottle to come back, but wow, I can't believe the mental strength of Gauff, at her age.

Love game. Can she break to win now?

Garden Rescue cancelled. Shame.

I am totally engrossed in Hercog and her pokies.

I am totally engrossed in Hercog and her pokies.

Her chest is not dissimilar to Rafa Nadal's.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Wow! Gauff wins!

 

[Icy Gull]

Wow just Wow

 

[marlowe]

That was riveting. I feel drained just watching

 

[Razzoo]

She is so gutsy. Go girl

What about Gauff's comeback from two match points. She looked dead and buried

Yes, incredible.

I was, sort of, responding to Ninja saying that Herzog would just fall apart after that. She didn't, which meant that Gauff had to dig even deeper.

What a superb match.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Oh no, here we go already, that closing sequence, it's Coco time, please don't do it to me again, I get so sick of the BBC fawning over sportsmen and women.
It's going to be Tiger Woods Mk 2 FFS.

Going Monday on Centre so hopefully will see Gauff against Halep

Guaranteed to be on Centre. Manic Monday at Wimbledon is by far the best day of tennis in the entire calendar.

Not really into tennis but can somebody explain why the server is given 3 balls and discards 1 what is he/she looking for to discard one.

The answer's in this article. It's essentially the same consideration bowlers in cricket give to the condition of the ball which affects its performance when bowling, hence why they polish it and in some cases tamper with it.

What is so funny they could just be given 2 balls so why 3 and discard 1.

According to the Wimbledon app, Halep v Gauff is second up on No 1 court......
