Well she did it. But man, can someone nip down to SW19 and bottle some of that Wimbledon home crowd energy then release it at the KP next season please!

Really?  Given it was a brit I thought it was really poor....although it is Wimbledon so it's not going as good as the other slams.

Well, if you have access, you can download day 4 at Wimbledon if you have the SKY+ Box.

 

 

Ill do it.

 

You can tell me at exactly what point in the recording those comments were made though.

Guido Pella vs Roberto Bautista-Agut in a Wimbledon QF, this ain't fvcking clay.

Sounds more suited to a French Open 1/4 final..

 

Djokovic must be laughing all the way to the final..

 

Mind you Nadal and Federer had to easy today.

Well, after Nadal won the first set he says about him taking 40 seconds between serves. The other comments are not far before and after that, by the 3rd set, he'd pretty much stopped moaning.
here's a transcript from the NZ herald in which you can find most of his outbursts in quotation. - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12246791

Good start for the two seeds in the first two quarters.

[Jimothy]

Scrap they both win the first sets.

That's what you've already been told though right? All of that transcript is in relation to the interrupted serve, as Facecloth has pointed out. These are not isolated bits of moaning about Nadal, he has actually put up with everything he was moaning about until the point Nadal interrupted his service at which point he had had enough and wanted to know why Nadal was able to do what he wanted, so he has a point. He definitely had a point when he called the umpire no one and a joke even if those comments were going too far as the umpires decision was blatantly wrong.

Williams broken in the 2nd with Riske now serving for the set. Riske giving Williams a really good test. 3rd set will be very interesting.

Good match, this.

Yep. Thought Riske would take it further and could have won some deciding rallies but in the end Serena, as usual, far too powerful and just better.

She took a few too many risks with her serve...

still reckon it’s mad that they play with balls in their pockets or shoved up the side of their dresses 

[PhillippaT]

Noooo....  Uh Oh.

[ScouseFox]

not sure how konta lost that set. should’ve won it about 6-1. still should’ve won it in the tie break. gonna need another decent comeback from here. 

[kingfox]

Trashy Konta makes her first appearance at this years Wimbledon.

 

That set was like watching her against Vondrousova at the French, brainless tennis.

[Manwell Pablo]

Would be just like her to lose this. 

[StanSP]

Konta's lost this. Losing that first set after being in a good position at the start of it seems to have rattled her.

Konta's been working on her mental fortitude, and it's been working, but her old problem seems to have returned here

[ScouseFox]

to be fair once strycova figured out how to serve she’s been much the better player 

[kingfox]

That forehand volley

Konta's played some pretty amateurish shots though. 

[PhillippaT]

Hopefully I won't miss much of Andy's match on the way home, then  :-/ 

 

That was cwap by Konta, but Strycova's been on it, and Konta had no answer.

[kingfox]

Strycova is a decent grass court player but this was a winnable match up for Konta.

 

Just like the French, a glorious opportunity to potentially win a Slam and she fvcks it.

 

Couldn't handle Strycova's variety.
