Dan Evans could easily be as good as suggested. (I think top 100 was about as high as anyone ventured) he's just a muppet.

Just looking at his results this season, absolutely fvcking horrendous.

He even lost to Ben Mitchell from Eastenders.

[Jimothy]

Dan Evans is a twat. He has the potential to be a very decent player, he had the world at his feet, well not the world but a little chunk of it, and he's thrown it away. And it's not the first time. He does have the potential, a word KingFox clearly needs to check the definition of, but sadly I doubt he'll ever reach it now. We've seen it often enough in football with the likes Ravel Morrison, where they appear to have some talent, but just disappear due to poor attitude.

[Manwell Pablo]

Yeah and as we've just said Kingfox it's a lack of application more than anything else.

Meanwhile had another good chuckle at your expense today when the bbc featured a photo of your hero nadal .......with a baseball cap on.......backwards

Come on Federer, hold back a little, I'd like to watch a bit of Murray's game when I get home tonight. Murray will be done and dusted before I get home at this rate!

[leicsmac]

Thank fvck Petchey and MacEnroe are commentating on the Murray match. Practically the only decent team the Beeb have.

[Jimothy]

Don't finish work for another hour and a half, and won't be home until 6. Looks like I'll be watching most of Murray on the highlights, their already more than halfway through set one.

 

Good to see Heather Watson come through after a poor opening set yesterday, and she taken the scalp of the seed too.

[Strokes]

Is the Murray match on the radio?

Can't see this match lasting until then, Murray has Kukushkin figured out. 

 

Well done to Heather, good early win.

Genie's fall from grace has been hilarious 

[kingfox]

Halep & Bouchard are turning into absolute jokes.

Bouchard's game especially is shitty & basic.

[ScouseFox]

apparently she got told off for wearing a black bra. sexy.

Kyrgios is such a bellend.

[RUDZY]

Good to see Heather Watson advancing into the 3rd round on the hottest day ever at Wimbledon.

Greg Rusedski and co on her team and making a bit of a diffrerence.

The only time I see downturns in form like theirs is when you predict someone to win a slam.

Working 2-10 this week so missing the action. Any fresh talent to look out for this year in the women's? How are Ivanovic and Georgi getting on...

Most of the replies below that tweet show a level of ignorance I wasn't even sure existed. Then I remembered that social media allows people to be cvnts anonymously.

James Ward 2-1 up

[leicsmac]

Ward needs to get the crowd on his side and get them to pull him through here.

Aren't they on his side?

They don't seem to be on anyones side right now - seem way too quiet.

It's wimbledon, we don't really do noise.

One of the reasons I'm glad that Murray would be playing Djokovic in a final here rather than Federer or Nadal - at least that would encourage the crowd to be somewhat partisan.

Someone just made the point on the BBC live text updates that he shouldn't have been scheduled at the same time as Murray. Obviously most people are going to be trying to find a spot to watch that on a screen rather than going to Ward's court.
