Hilarious in the Broady match. I cannot remember verbatim but the umpire said…
Ladies and Gentlemen, especially the gentleman on my left giving a running commentary during the match, please be quiet during play!

3 British guys playing at once, it’s a challenge to keep up! A shame for Norrie but that Chris Eubanks played amazingly well. And he seemed very nice in his interview (pleased to see Annabel Croft doing that) so good for him, unseeded knocking out the #12 even if he is ours!

I can’t believe it. The Hopeless One actually got through an interview with McEnroe without stumbling. I thought they would never put him with her! So that was an improvement.
Ah, Sue got a lovely big cheer in the sports personality presentations. And Clare really bigged her up as well.

Gosh, well done Chris!!! First Wimbledon and he’s in the QF. I know he isn’t a young newbie but he is playing out of his skin. I wonder who he’ll get next.
Clare is obsessed with Oms Jabeur I think!

First time I've seen Jabeur play. Now I see why there is all the hype. She just put a miracle shot over the net and Kvitova looked absolutely disgusted! . And I don't blame her! How that went over the net is against the laws of physics!

Any reason why sand or sawdust isn't applied to those slippery areas beyond the base line? Been quite work few spills which could have led to serious injury. A precaution often used in Cricket for the bowlers run up and footholds.

I’m so stressed watching the Svitolina match!
Damn! ☹️
PS Why have they closed the roof today? It hasn’t rained at all today and it’s sunny now. 🌞

Well Ons really played badly for her, didn’t she? And that Czech girl has a strong game. Clare was very deflated that Ons lost, but the service games were broken so many times it was beyond belief. I got sidetracked in the second set by a Google search and when I came back it was almost over. Well done to the non-seed though.

Seemed to me that Ons didn't really want to be there, it was like her get up and go had got up and gone. Shame as I was hoping she would win.

This is as bad as yesterday’s match. Hopefully it will perk up a bit soon.
On a positive note, our lad has just won the Boys’ Singles. First British winner since 1962.

Lot of complaints about Djokovic time-wasting on Twitter.

He managed to perk up after his bathroom break. Interesting....
