I'd forgotten how stressful watching Murray can be  

Not for me. I'm just reminded what a willy puller he looks giving it the big fist pump for every point he wins.

Only if you happen not to like him, I guess.

I neither like or dislike him. 

 

Every tennis player who does the above is a willy puller. Not to mention the loud screechers and grunters (both male and female).

I just spotted they have scheduled Badosa for 11am tomorrow - that’s a bit harsh! 

[HighPeakFox]

Oh God, I actually thought this might happen a few moments ago.

Murray injured... 

[The Bear]

Been a hell of a lot of slips the last few days. 

 

Madison Keys had a bad sounding one in her Eastbourne win last week too.

Bit of a scare there, nicely done to seal the set after that

Yeah quite worrying. Looked to fall in same place that Cornet did.

Massive scream then perfectly fine a minute later  

 

Murray probably wins if it finishes tonight, but he'll be stiff in the morning. 

 

Stupid that every other tournament can play into the night but Wimbledon has a curfew.

[PhillippaT]

 At least he managed to serve the set out, though... Plz be okay... 

 

EDIT: Good decision for Andy to call it off now

They need to sort this scheduling out. If you are going to have extended breaks between matches, you can’t be starting play at 1.30pm.

Poor line judge hands him back his racket and he starts having a pop at her about the surface. Not her fault.

Yeah I bit disappointing that you can’t get all matches finished even with the roof

Are you absolutely sure he was having a pop at HER?

Suspect Tsitsipas will be glad for the break and chance to recover and stop any momentum Murray had.

It'll help him, I'm sure.

 

That being said, it's now a two set match on a surface Murray favours with a partisan crowd, and he only has to win one set.

[PhillippaT]

Go Murray/Norrie/Broady! 

 

Norrie up first.... 2-1 Eubanks - he's got quite a jab on him  

 

Murray up next, too: Time to go MULTI-SCREEN   (Desktop/Laptop)

 

And now Liam's up...  I don't have enough screens!   1 set up for Liam

Broady first set win! 

[foxes_rule1978]

A big of a missed opportunity that for Murray, surprised he didn’t challenge would have been two break points 

[PhillippaT]

Everything seems to be going a bit pear-shaped atm. for Norrie and Murray. (Norrie getting a break helps - but not for long  )

It's got a very different feel about it from last night, that's for sure. 

[PhillippaT]

Norrie gone...

[EastAnglianFox]

This is going to be a bad hour or so ain't it
