Muguruza !

And Gabi v Bouchard, Dunne v Ostapenko, Hev v Flipkens..... wow, nig names

Good one for KB though, Toyg

And Swan gets Begu and Harriet gets Karolina Pliskova - doesn't get any better...

(and yes this should be in the women's, but like seagull, there's no thread so this'll have to do for the moment)

Oh crap no - this is Pliskova the Greater!

given he could have only met seeds 9-16 in R3, Kyle getting Djoker is the most rotten option he could get. Though given he's only made R2 here before we probably shouldn't get ahead of ourselves

solid chance for Andy to win a couple of rounds. That would be a win for me at this stage

I am really not expecting anything from Andy nor indeed does he himself. I am just glad he is reasonably fit to compete.  I cannot see Edmund beating Djokovic on grass even though Novak is not back to his best. I am hoping for a new champion to cease the Federer reign

Interesting set of draws.

Liam v Raonic - could get a decent show court for that, but Liam wont win obviously!

Cam v Aljaz - might get a lower show court given the Brit interest - 50/50 call, Cam should hope to win

Kyle v Bolt - Kyle NEEDS to win that and should

Jay v Gulbis - which Gulbis will turn up? Jay should again think he has a chance but Gulbis must be favourite.

Andy v Paire - clearly going to be on centre court, assuming Andy plays. He should win that one even with where he is at and it may help him decide it is worth playing.

3 wins from this lot, 4 maybe...

Raonic has withdrawn from multiple tournaments this year, the most recent being Queens where he won in R1 through retirement before withdrawing from R2.

Not wishing ill on Mr Raonic, but Liam will win his R1 match against a LL.

Cam versus the traitor. Interesting match, traitdene's form has been pretty average this year. 50-50 about right.

 Yes, I was going post similar. Milos is far from fit and hasn't been 100% in some time now (last year).

 Bad draw for Edmund, he is on course to meet the Nole in R3.    Nole is now getting back to gluten free era Nole cirica 2013-16.  Nole is equal fav for Wimbledon along with Frauderer and Nadal.

 Murray, will do well to ever get back into the top 20.  He will probably be a top 50 floater now for few years before he retires.  Murray's recent matches tell us nothing.

 

Vs Kyrios- he was clowning, treated it like a exhibition match.

Vs Stan- even when in stanimal mode, Stan was always a weak grass player, and with him injured, this win means nothing.

Vs Kyle- Kyle is average grass player, probably top 50 at best.

 

So we have no idea of Murray's real form or ranking right now.
