    Agreed. F1 is boring, in fact the only thing more boring is listening to a F1 driver giving an interview.

    Too little chat about Brook in here, Spence far too good on the night and in general, maybe Brook Khan in 2019?

    Konta (7th seed) loses 2-1 to Hsien of Taipei (number 107 in the world). Jo took first set 6-1 and it looked like being a routine victory, but the other player stepped up her game as Konta seemed to lose her first serve. A very good game with both players in with a chance, but Hsien took her chances and Jo didn't.

    :( I had high hopes for Jo, especially with so many top players missing. I know that clay isn't her best surface but this is still disappointing. I have a horrible feeling that Andy's going to lose too - for once I'm glad that I'm in work and can't watch.

    Two good fighters on their day but not too bothered about that. Although it will be hyped up as some be-all end-all British clash they're not in the same league as the big guys. I hope GGG Canelo lives up to it's billing.

    Can't see it being that good a fight (GGG Canelo) just don't think anyone is in GGG category, can see it being very one sided.

    Name to watch out for is David Benividez, I'm sure Degale will be trying to dodge him before too long

    GGG can be hit though... He just puts his guard up and takes shots as they don't faze him. Brook couldn't hurt him for example although he landed shots. Canelo has more power so who knows. GGG has been a long way out in front of the others, but is 35 now, Canelo 26.

    Murray's sarcastic clapping of his training team isn't endearing. You're playing the game Andy, just play ******* tennis!

    I love Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. That's all.

    Murray wins 3 sets to 1 to go through. Edmund beat the lad, who knocked out Tsonga, in 3 straight sets.

    Kyle lost 2nd set on a tie break, but takes third 7-5. Got a good temperament.
