Kyrios is a turn off for me too, objectionable man.

Thought they both behaved like children, but, I couldn’t stop watching!

I’ve been watching Alcaraz vs Sinner, seeds 5 & 10, aged 19 and 20! I’d never heard of either of them but it has been terrific. Of course I’ve had to change channels about four times trying to follow it, and at one point on the Red Button we had a commentary from someone presenting a highlights reel but with none of his pictures (fortunately) over the top of the match commentary. Crazy!
The crowds this year are getting on my wick! I’m finding them as bad as the Strictly audience. I don’t mind the cheering, of course not, but there always seems to be some prat yelling out at an in opportune moment. And if I have to hear that bloody chant of Let’s Go (insert two syllable name of choice) one more time……..

Yes I’m watching that one now, but watched Cameron Norris beat Tommy Paul earlier- a great match! It’s been a really good tennis afternoon- I haven’t been out all day except to put the washing out and empty the bins

I have also enjoyed todays play but feel it unfair to make players wait for centre court when others are available. Novak and opponent are still not on and it is 7.30pm.
If centre court is not available by 5pm, then another should be used.
Agree about Kyrios and opponent - and how sad that the commentators seem to regard their bad behaviour as something exciting and dramatic. Sadly when MacEnroe kicked off all those years ago he was not warned then booted out. As long as this behaviour is tolerated, it will go on.

Currently avoiding Kyrgios by watching De Minaur vs Garin, and very enjoyable it is too. Of course they've been relegated to the red button.

What a match! I can't quite believe Garin won, he seemed completely out of it (about two hours ago, 😂😂). Who was that woman we had to see nearly every point, in the red T shirt? His partner or some random Chilean?

Kyrios is playing a good match AND keeping his foul mouth in check.

Does Sue realise there's a red button option. Never ever mentioned. It's all I-player this and I-player that. Personally I preferred the old multiple red button options we used to have for Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios has just been charged with domestic assault over an incident last December involving his ex!
Just watching Niemeier, who beat Heather Watson at the moment. It’s her debut here and she’s in the QF! I like her but hope she doesn’t get nervous.

No surprise there. And I wouldn't be surprised to hear the same about Dan Evans either.

I read some article about him on Sunday. Apparently he is descended from Malaysian royalty!!! They must be so proud, 😂😂.
PS Very much enjoying the dulcet tones of Feliciano Lopez in the commentary box!

....three in the Commentary Box is rarely a good idea.
