Just got in to see her clinch the set. Great stuff! She seems really talented, but I believe has underlying health issues which have restricted her over the years? Great stuff anyway! 

[StanSP]

Go on Katie! 

[Spacey_Fox]

Really enjoying this match. She looks like she is as well!

[StanSP]

Struggling in this 3rd.

[kingfox]

Hanging in there, foxes never quit, come on Katie 🤞🏻

[StanSP]

Yess, stepping up now with pressure on. Come on, Katie. See it through! 

[StanSP]

What a shot to win that point! 

[StanSP]

She lost

 

[kingfox]

What a shame, tremendous effort.

 

Sabalenka just came up too big when it mattered.

Yep, too much quality and power showed in the end. 

[Super_horns]

Dan Evans progressing nicely .

 

Murray time now .

[StanSP]

Surely something can be done about all this slipping on the court? Never seen so much of it. I get it's been poor weather conditions but I'm sure it's never been this bad.

 

Mannarino and Williams get injuries to send them out of the competition. Murray nearly fvcked his groin up due to a fall. 

[Super_horns]

The usual late night drama with Murray then ?!

[RowlattsFox]

Even if Murray does produce something incredible here. There is no way his body will hold for another battle in the next round.

Shame Katie went out!

I thought Andy was done, but game on!!

I don’t know, it’s technique that’s let him down so far.

Suspect it's timing allied with lack of match practice tbf.

Yeh fitness seems to be holding up within this game. Was thinking more about recovery.

Ffs

[HighPeakFox]

Just glad we won't have Andrew Castle saying 'we're going the distance here on Centre Court'. Like he always does.

[Super_horns]

He will be glad if he gets this over quickly.

Well tbf, it's a man ranked 150 odd in the world v a man with a metal hip. I hope you weren't expecting Federer v Nadal Wimbledon final levels.

There have been some very nice rallies and good winners, I don’t think it is that bad

Murray looks dead on his feet out there.

 

Then wins an amazing point.

 

Tennis players are so fit. And they don’t complain when they have another 3 hour match less than 48 hours later.
