I’m not enjoying Jo Konta as a commentator, I think she is very bland.

Sue Barker back for the Murray interview! And she is all emotional, bless her.

Much to my amazement, Nick Kyrgios has been my favourite commentator so far! I thought it might be a bit prickly with Andrew Castle (because of the on court antics) but no, it was very enjoyable. He did make me laugh when, having talked a bit about socialising when in a team, Nick immediately suggested a BBC Team Big Night Out at the end of the championships. I also wondered if he is being sponsored by the Dog & Fox as he keeps mentioning them. 😂

They never seem to mention that now. It has been the same for the last couple of years. It’s iPlayer or bust!
I see Emma pulled out of the mixed doubles with Andy. Judy Murray didn’t seem exactly impressed. It was disappointing that Harriet Dart lost because she was doing well when I saw some of her match. A big shock when the #1 seed lost but I was pleased the Ukrainian woman won 🇺🇦 even though it meant Claire’s favourite, Ons Jabeur, whom Claire goes on and on about, lost. I wonder if there’s a decent schedule today or if it is being used as a catch up operation.

I wondered why on earth the crowd were allowed to make such a noise during play on No. 1 court, then realised it was just the rain on the roof. It was deafening! Yet when I flipped over to Centre, it was really quiet. We have just had a short thunderstorm as well. The Italian player was doing well at first but had a bit of a collapse in the second which was a shame.

Well the Italian Paolini has got her mojo back and from 1-5 it is now 5-6 to Madison Keys. It has been a cracking match really.

Apparently all the ATP tennis tournaments next year will have no linespeople. It'll be all electronic. The ball kids will be the next to go.

I thought Lulu Sun played very well when she defeated Emma. She is a qualifier and #127 in the world. So well done to her. And Coco Gauff is out! I thought she was the favourite to win. I’m annoyed I missed that but come 8.00 I was all tennised out. Blast. Apparently she was rowing with her team so that would have been lively, 😂.

Just saw an interview with Arthur Fils on TV, and he was adorable! Laughing, joking, talking about movies, such a change from some of those dour interviews we get. I’d make him my new favourite but don’t think he will beat De Minaur. But it is just so nice when they show their personalities.

Oo er, Medvedev got a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct! I was checking something and didn’t hear a thing, so it wasn’t a McEnroe style outburst, 😂.

BBC jumping channels again. And why is it always at a crucial point of the match. Unbelievable!
