Oh bless her - she was doing so well

I’m enjoying Alcaraz Humbert very much this Sunday afternoon

 

[Suzesnooze]

Well done Carlos I like to think he loses a bit to entertain the crowds ! Wouldn’t it be cute if him and Emma got together! He’s always liking her posts and they mention each other a lot

 

[londongirl2001]

Jannik is looking really strong these last two matches. This hyped one against Ben Shelton seems to be a quick one, but I guess Ben must be tired after his earlier rounds.
Not sure what to think about Carlos. Can’t help but wonder if some exhaustion is setting in. Luckily he’s such a good player already that he can win matches even if he’s not playing at his best. I hope he can make it to the semifinal, along with Jannik.

If Emma loses she can blame her wrist

I don't understand the ticketing situation at Wimbledon but I'm matching the Emma Raducanu match and there are loads of empty seats.

I'm sure there would be loads of people who would love to see a Centre Court match. Especially featuring a British player

Lots of people would have left after the Carlos match for a break - it will start filling again at the change of ends.

I was there yesterday and the seats are not all that comfy when you’ve been sitting there a few hours of a men’s match!

 

[londongirl2001]

Is this an activity a man should take part in, weeks after surgery, with an injury that was career-ending for others?

 

[MyLittlePony25]

Those seats are super uncomfortable and I could barely move the next day after sitting in them for 7 hours. People will be queuing for the toilets/refreshments and can’t get back in until the stewards let them in. Same happened on Monday after Carlos won and then it soon filled up for Emma.

I was thinking this!!! Bit of a danger isn't it

 

[Suzesnooze]

Not going well for Emma.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

I’ll admit my opinion is being coloured by the fact that I don’t like the guy, but I’m very sceptical about this ‘surgery’ Djokovic has supposedly had, whereby immediately afterwards he’s playing slams and shows not a single sign of any medical intervention whatsoever, knee bandage aside.

As I’ve mentioned before, he didn’t earn the nickname ‘Fakervic’ for no reason. And the Aus open/vaccination debacle certainly showed us that his claims don’t always seem to add up

Emma's gonna screw it up and lose to a complete nobody isn't she

Nah she'll win. Lulu's form will dip

looking likely at the moment. But saying that, Paolini smashed Keys in the first set earlier and then she made an epic comeback so

 

[Curly Top]

Emma is not playing to her previous level. This match looks very anodyne compared to Keys’ and Paolini’s.

 

[Suzesnooze]

Sun has no pressure on her so can play more freely. Hopefully Emma can loosen up.

 

[PillowsofFluff]

Come on Emma! I want my earlier comment to be proved wrong

Edit: just realised I'm a VIP

It depends who you want to watch. I left Centre after watching Rafa, when Murray came on and went to watch Lopez on an outside court.

 

[forthelifeofriley]

I think Emma played so well against Mertens and Sakkari as she liked their powerful, hard hitting style. Lulu isn’t giving her that and it’s Emma making more of the mistakes
