    Bedene just beat Karlovic, some wonderful tennis, fantastic game to watch. Went to 5 sets with only 1 break of serve, to win it!

    A housemate of mine back in the day used to frap off to Navratilova saying he got off thinking about her muscular forearms and general rug munching. Each to their own.

    Yes a mate from playing football but you only really get to know someone when you live with them. Pogoing around the living room at 5 in the morning to Zulu Beat by King Kurt at full blast was one of his more social activities.

    Over the last couple of years Johanna Konta has blossomed as both a player and a specimen.

    My grandad's a crafty sod. He got to watch Murray play by hiding in his kit bag.

    Kyle Edmund has leveled at a set all with fellow Brit Alex Ward, winning his first-ever set at Wimbledon in the singles.

    Federer was just revving up before his opposition had to withdraw. Just after Djokovic won the same way.
    I fancy RF to break the record this year. Raonic looked good again. Rafa too yesterday.
    Just love these 2 weeks.

    Well done Bernard...

    Bernard Tomic slouched out of the first round at Wimbledon, turning in a pathetic display and admitting in an extraordinary post-match press conference that he was ‘bored’ on court.

    The Australian, who could face a heavy fine for lack of effort, also admitted he had taken an injury timeout purely to disrupt his opponent Mischa Zverev’s momentum.

    The 24-year-old said he was no longer motivated by winning tennis matches, and was simply aiming to play for another decade to amass a fortune so he never had to work again.
