He was the coach of Rafa since his nephew was a small boy. Like Judy Murray and her boys.

What a fantastic match with that young Cori Gauff. Mesmerising. Such focus for one so young. A grand slam winner for the future IMO

Our chap has won the first set against the Georgian 18 seed. I saw the bearded one playing the other day and thought he was at the end of his career as he looked close to 40 to me! He is 23!!! And I thought the bearded French p!ayer Moutet was about 30 and he is 20. So beards are more ageing than I thought.
Our chap has just got an obscenity warning! I didnt hear it cos I was typing but the match isnt exactly cut throat so I dont know why he needed to do that. A lineswoman reported him to the umpire and John Lloyd mentioned it so I assume he dropped the F bomb. Oh Lord, now he is having a rant about his service. I hope he doesnt blow it.

Harriet Dart has won her match So that might make her feel better about being dumped for Coco in the Mixed. Our chap (bit of a misery) has just won the first two sets. Dan Evans may be his name, I think. I believe he has a bit of a past!

I'm watching him now. I think he is known for being a bit of a brat.
Harriet Dart did well. I don't think she will go much further as she doesn't have a big enough serve but she moves around the court well.

Dan Evans has had a checkered career with a lot of promise. Unfortunately, he had a bit of an issue with drugs a couple of years ago (public record) which earned him a one year ban. Shame as he has potential and played well this afternoon.
Looking forward to the Federer/Clarke match later.

It's an interesting match. Clarke has settled in the 2nd set and is holding his own.

Angelika Kerber has just been beaten by a woman who looks as if she has just been sent home from A&E! So much tape on one leg! And then she fell on it during the first set and I thought she would have to retire as she was struggling to move.

Kyrgios v Nadal now. Should be interesting.

He seems to have started moaning very loudly about the speed of play, and of course Nadal is one of the slowest. The way Sue Barker was bigging him up, you would think he is one of the funniest characters on tour. I think he is a brat!

I think Nadal will play even slower than usual just to wind him up.

I hope Nadal beats him in 3 sets. What an oik! I would not pay to watch him.

I think Nadal will play even slower than usual just to wind him up. Well I would! And Rafa has gone to the loo now!! I think the oik is still raving on because he needs to keep himself geed up. Perhaps he thrives on grievances! Amazingly, CH56 has returned to my TV today so I have five more red button channels.

Gosh, they're booing him on Centre Court for the underarm serve!
