Shame about our young Emma last night but hopefully she is feeling better today and realises how well she did.

Well it is so dark here that even if it didn’t rain I reckon you could appeal the light! Honestly it is terrible.

They are currently showing the Medvedev match 4th set on BBC1 but I’m watching the 5th set on the red button!

In today's Jabeur v Sabalenka, would Ms Sabalenka PLEASE shut up!
There's no need to scream EVERY time she hits the ball.
Currently watching that with the sound muted

Sometimes I wonder if a player does it deliberately to put their opponent off ??

I could hardly believe the racket she was making. Incredible. Sometimes they sound like a herd of buffalos the way they bellow. That’s what it makes me think of, at least. I do think sometimes it sounds like a line call when they do the shouty scream which must be very confusing to the other player, although perhaps when you are on court it doesn’t sound the same.

I think they once did a survey and found that the men do this as often as the women but somehow viewers don't seem to notice the men as much. It just never puts me off and I'm sure the other players can manage. If they thought it was deliberate, they could just look at them directly and smile to show it makes no difference. Smiling at an opponent can be just as off-putting.

Goodness me! Federer out in straight sets, ending at 0-6. When I had to leave it I thought he would be able to get the better of the young Pole but when I got back he had lost the first two sets! I didn’t think I would miss much, idiot!

Sad to see him go. I wonder if that’s the last time he will appear at Wimbledon.
At least with him not getting to the final….we won’t see him lose to Djokovic!!

See that Boris Becker was suitability reprimanded by the Beeb for sexist comments regarding a players girlfriend in the players box. Big fan of Boris but this is a no-go.

In fact I dont think he'll be allowed to commentate for the remainder of the tournament.

Poor old Hubert the Pole! His game has deserted him.
