Kvitova only needs one more game to win her match, and she has only been playing for 32 mins.

Tsonga v Muller is proving just as grueling and gripping as we expected, Tsonga leads 2-1 but Muller is a break up in the fifth.

Wheyyy how embarrassing!!

Laura Robson has just lost her opening match, not really surprising given she's been struggling with injury for over a year.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Heather Watson, on the other hand, has just won. Really solid performance from Watson in the end after a shaky start.

Centre Court only saw an hour and a half of action in the first two matches!

Robson out but Heather Watson is through - good win.

Indeed TB. Oops!

Tsonga went on to prevail 6-2 in the fifth set.

Great win for Heather Watson 8-6 in the third after a horrid first set. Saved a bunch of match points too

 

[Master D]

Murray is currently clowning around on Centre Court.

 

[TractorBoys]

It's quite enjoyable to watch, and, whilst I fully expect him too, he'll have to drastically improve his first serve % if he's to stand any chance this year. It's been pretty dire.

 

[The Iron]

Murray is back to his best in the tiebreaker by the looks of it. 5-1 up and playing some good shots.

 

[Munkiki]

Whatever has happened to Eugenie Bouchard?

Whatever has happened to Eugenie Bouchard?

Her and Halep who has just gone out have not been the same players this year at all.

James Ward and Bedene through making it 4 men into the 2nd round for the first time since 2006.

 

[The Iron]

Well done James Ward who has just won in 4 sets.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Well done to Aijaz Bedene who has beaten Radek Stephanek in 5 sets.
We have 4 men and Heather Watson through

 

[SALTIRE]

Well done James Ward who has just won in 4 sets.

When he lost that opening set, I said to myself he'll either win or lose in 4 sets, Ward never does anything easily.

Hardly a huge prediction you covered two of the three bases.
Just checked the dreamteam website and Master D has started like a train. Though we have all done well and we sit in 6th out of the 71 mini leagues

Its always the same with Ward no matter what match he plays, he never wins or loses in straight sets.

It won't last! I've lost 2 players but it isn't showing a red line through them, not sure what's going on with that.

 

[The Iron]

Let's hope that Watson and Broady can do us proud, and make it into round 3 by winning their games this afternoon.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Kei Nishikori has withdrawn due to a calf injury.

 

[The Iron]

So far so good for Heather Watson winning the first set.

 

[Munkiki]

and a break up in the second

edit - not any more

 

[The Iron]

Well done to Watson on getting through to the 3rd round, but she now faces the ultimate test in Serena Williams.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Great win for Watson but see is on course to meet Serena in R3 which is a huge shame

 

[TractorBoys]

Sue Barker and Henman putting Nick Kyrgios' disagreement with the umpire and his following comments at the press conference as down to him being a 'character'. I love that, it's basically a commentators word for prick/bellend before the watershed.

 

[SALTIRE]

Kyrgios giving the umpire grief today - some guy!

I was laughing all the way through that. Love a bit of needle.

God help them when he loses!

Mix day for my TFF team - Baghdatis and Mattek-Sands through which is a bonus but lost Pliskova.

Good win for Heather Watson - nice easy match next up..

 

[SALTIRE]

I wonder if she'll manage to get a game against the beast?
