McEnroe Almost impossible to concentrate on any match with his annoying drawl droning in the background.

I've just caught up with the Williams - Gauff match. That young lady could have one heck of a future in front of her. Superb player.

Is it just me that can't hear more than the last word of a sentence when Nadal is talking? I hear 'Drrrrrrrrr drrrrr drrrrr hard. Drrrrr drrrrrrrrrr ddrrrrrr win. Drrrrrrr rrrrrrr drrrrrrr year.'

Just watching our new prospect, Paul Jubb, who has finally won a set against the Portuguese #1, well done. He is on court 17 and the noise level from passers-by is amazing! He is at college in N Carolina and has just won the big college championship there which, had he been American would have given him entry into the US Open. He has a sad story though as his father killed himself when he was one, and his mother died a little bit later so he was raised by his grandmother. In his profile film he came over well. I think this could be too much of a struggle for him after losing the first two sets though.

Kyrios (sp?) plays Nadal tomorrow and should be a needle match as Nadal has taken against the Australian whom I think is a total pr*t. I may have to seek that out although normally I don't watch Kyrios because I can't bear the way he carries on or sometimes just decides he can't be bothered to play.

It would appear that Andy and Serena are playing mixed doubles. That I will definitely watch...although I never usually watch her play.

....methinks Kyrios will hit a few underarm serves at Nadal just to get under his skin.....

Yes, apparently he did so in Acapulco and Nadal said Kyrios had no respect for the public, the rival or the game, and Uncle Tony chipped in as well. Kyrios called Nadal salty, said Tony was an idiot and they were bad losers. He said to the press he couldn't see himself and Nadal having a beer together at The Dog & Fox, but then I doubt Nadal would even know where The Dog & Fox is! (it's a big pub in Wimbledon Village)

Nadal is right as well. The kid doesn't realise how pathetic he looks. All that talent going to waste cos it was given to someone with a bad personality and no sense.
