You don’t win a slam without having the ability, she clearly has lacked consistency because of the injuries… so if she can I’m sure we will see her competing in the latter stages again

Typical attitude from Dart tbh, she has previous, she threw a right tantrum in their match at Nottingham the other week. 

Not a likable trait

Andrew Castle just said during Draper v Norrie that the last time the British number one and two played each other in Slam was Henman v Rusedski.

 

Erm it was the match before this one Andrew

She’s looked good, and she looks happy and up for it, I’ll be rooting for her now Bottlejob Boulter is out.

I knew what he meant as he had Henman with him, but made me laugh and someone will be calling him out on twitter 

[RowlattsFox]

Just starting watching this and i don't know why Norrie exaggerated fist pumps after every point is annoying me 

[foxes_rule1978]

Draper has certainly caught Norrie on a very good day

When I watch Raducanu I often feel like she doesn't really need much coaching in term of game plans etc. I think she's naturally gifted and has a great ability to quickly work out her opponents game. She's had her injury issues and prior to that I think she might have had a little too much influence. She just needs to stay fit and play.

What odds that whoever wins the Draper-Norrie match goes out in the next round (Draper because fatigue, Norrie because inconsistency)?

Particularly as they would play Zverev in all likelihood.

Can't see Draper beating Zverev (potentially) after two 5 setters. Norrie is a machine so his fitness doesn't worry me, but as you say he's inconsistent. But so is Zverev, so could be long match strewn with errors.

Shite scheduling by Wimbledon. British number 1 playing British number 2, and they schedule Murrays doubles match now.

Yeah, about right all really. I hope that Norrie can at least give Zverev a game.

Pretty special piece on the BBC now after Murray's defeat. They've even brought Sue Barker out for it.

We’ve been here before haven’t we? 😂

 

Sure I can remember players leaving messages for him a few years back m

 

Never say never?

Plays like he did against draper he has a good chance, hopefully he can deliver that game again 

[Super_horns]

Tough one for Alcaraz .

A real scare.

[Spacey_Fox]

Raducanu is very much back.

[deejdeej]

Raducanu is finally back!

Hopefully she can back it up, because her section of the draw is nothing to fear. 

This is the most sense I’ve talked on this thread since I knew Jerzy Janowicz was gonna be a top player
