watching Serena retire was one of the most heartbreaking scenes I've ever seen :/

Eighteen-year-old British wildcard Emma Raducanu stunned former French Open finalist Marketa Vondrousova in straight sets to reach the Wimbledon third round.

 

Raducanu, who finished her A-Levels two months ago, won 6-2 6-4.

Norrie has got Federer in the third round, if he can beat him (hope he does) it would be the upset of the tournament.

18 year old Brit into the last 16 now! She played some stunning tennis during that match.

 

We'll have to overlook the fact that she was born in Canada and has a Romanian father and a Chinese mother. She's lived in the UK since she was two years old.

Shame to see Norrie lose but at least he won a set. Needs a grand slam quarter final in the next year

Did anyone see the Ostapenko incident?

I was at Court 2 last Friday! Amazing experience, really close to the court.

 

The singles games were all very one sided (Sabalenka was an absolute monster in her match) but the highlight without doubt was Kyrgios & Venus in the doubles. Box office stuff.

 

Would encourage anyone who's never been to apply for the traditional public ballot next year. Got very lucky this year with it being first come first serve but it was brilliant and better than I thought it'd be.

I was keeping an eye on the scores as I knew you had posted you were going to be on that court. I'm glad you got the bonus of that mixed doubles match added to the schedule. I saw the last ten minutes of it.

World number one Ashleigh Barty crushed fellow Australian Ajla Tomljanovic to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time.

 

Barty, 25, won 6-1 6-3 and will play Angelique Kerber in the last four.

 

Kerber, the 2018 Wimbledon champion, progressed after a convincing 6-2 6-3 win over Karolina Muchova.

 

Aryna Sabalenka will take on Karolina Pliskova in Thursday's other semi-final after wins over Ons Jabeur and Viktorija Golubic respectively.

Surprised the top 2 seeds are still in, that's actually a very rare occurrence!

 

Sabalenka & Pliskova I both saw there so that'll be an interesting result. Pretty sure the former will come out on top.

Pretty limp display there by Federer against someone I'd not heard of before.

 

Caught some of the Shapolavov victory, the guy of course most known for smacking an umpire in the face.

World number one Ashleigh Barty will play Czech eighth seed Karolina Pliskova in Saturday's Wimbledon final.

 

Australian Barty beat former champion Angelique Kerber 6-3 7-6 (7-3) before Pliskova came from a set down to defeat Aryna Sabalenka 5-7 6-4 6-4.

Matteo Berrettini became the first Italian to reach the Wimbledon men's singles final with a dominant victory over Poland's Hubert Hurkacz.

 

The seventh seed and Queen's champion used his big forehand and serve to good effect in a 6-3 6-0 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 win.

British pair Harriet Dart and Joe Salisbury have reached the final of the mixed doubles at Wimbledon.

 

They gained a 6-2 4-6 6-4 victory over 46-year-old Czech Kveta Peschke and Germany's Kevin Krawietz.

Novak Djokovic needed all of his nous and quality to edge past Denis Shapovalov and set up a Wimbledon men's final with Italy's Matteo Berrettini on Sunday.

 

Canada's Shapovalov, 22, played superbly for the most part, only for Djokovic to claim the key moments on his way to a 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 7-5 win.

Ashleigh Barty won her maiden Wimbledon title as she beat Karolina Pliskova in a nervy final to become the first Australian women's champion for 41 years.

 

Barty won the first 14 points to take early charge in a 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 6-3 win on the 50th anniversary of idol Evonne Goolagong Cawley's maiden win here.

I thought that was going to be really one sided when Barty went 4-0 up after less than 10 minutes but Pliskova put up a fight.

We are guaranteed British winner in the mixed doubles at Wimbledon after Neal Skupski and his American partner Desirae Krawczyk sealed their place and will take on Harriet Dart and Joe Salisbury on Centre Court on Sunday.

 

Skupski and Krawczyk came from a set down to beat Australian John Peers and China's Shuai Zhang 3-6 7-6 7-5 on Saturday after Dart and Salisbury had won on Friday.

Another classic final Djokovic performance yesterday. Amazing to see him, Rafa & Roger now all on 20 Slams!

Yeh watched the first two sets and Novak seemed out of sorts but glad to see he won overall!
