In the women's draw, you'll do well to pick a winner, can't call it at all.

I just watched the Kyrgios-Nadal match and he really is box-office.
He's a bit of an idiot but he really makes it glorious to watch. Some of the shots he pulls off are insane too. If he can sort his head out and get a decent coach he will be challenging for slams no doubt. |

American Cori Gauff has at 15 years and 122 days become the youngest player to qualify for the main Wimbledon draw since the Open era began in 1968. Gauff, ranked 301, beat Belgium's world 129 Greet Minnen 6-1 6-1 in the final round of qualifying. She's through to the fourth round and plays Halep just absolutely brilliant from her. |

It's a noteworthy story for sure but it's a little cringey the media all jumping on this hype bandwagon. She's beaten 2 nobodies and a statue, let's she how she fares against the best then we're talking!

She's 15, has range, can beat professionals who've been playing for 15 years and have the skillsets and experience. Gauff is going to be a big player.
Considering she still makes errors that can easily be improved with practice, it would be a surprise if she wasn't challenging in a couple of years. |

An unexpected appearance on Centre Court for Polona Hercog. |

Johanna Konta is the only Briton left in the Wimbledon singles after staging a determined comeback against American Sloane Stephens to reach the last 16.
The 2017 semi-finalist had trailed by a set and was under pressure on her serve before regrouping to win 3-6 6-4 6-1. Compatriot Dan Evans had many chances against Portugal's Joao Sousa but lost 4-6 6-4 7-5 4-6 6-4 in an epic battle. Fellow Briton Harriet Dart was earlier overwhelmed 6-1 6-1 by Australian world number one Ashleigh Barty. |

Evans threw the game away.
He was by far the better player . |

Serena Williams battled past American compatriot Alison Riske despite a sluggish performance to reach the semi-finals at Wimbledon.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion beat Riske 6-4 4-6 6-3 to set up a last four meeting with Britain's Johanna Konta or Czech Barbora Strycova. |

That was a big collapse from Johanna Konta after being 4-1 up in the first set,a string of unforced errors. Another opportunity to win a grand slam missed.

When I saw the title I was thinking oh here we go again, she can't take bottling the match so vents it out on the media but fairplay that journalist was a complete asshole there.
Hoping for a surprise Svitolina win now but she'll have to beat 2 of the best to do so! |
