Week 26 - Wimbledon - London (grass) - women's main draw

Emma making a bit of a hash of her two service games which she should have held and paying for it. Some good tennis already from her though. Needs to just reign it in a little.

1-3*

Katie into a third. Had a game point in the game she was broken in but her level has been pretty consistent. Sabalenka the more up and down who will decide this one.

Emma's had points to win 4 of the 5 games played so far. She's learning some important lessons in this set about this level of competition.

*1-4

I prefer all of these to Boris. He might have been a brilliant player but as a pundit I don't think he has anything of interest to say - just states the b****** obvious.

 And is an unethical, bordering on criminal tw*t

Watching Emma, you'd say she should have played qualis.

In terms of my French sports psychologist's balloon, she was completely overblown, ready to burst. It's understandable, being so young, and at wimbly.

She may well rebalance herself as the match progresses

 I agree. She has not been playing enough tennis.

One thing about Inverdale are his many comments about Sabalenka's "many faces", "ferocious looks", "you wouldn't want to mess with her" etc. Yes she is loud and animated, but the constant implications that she's scary because she's like that isn't something you'd get with the men.

Given his history (see: Bartoli) I'm not massively surprised. But surprising that he keeps getting these gigs.

Anyway, Boulter doing herself proud here.

What a great match. Aryna is lovely and they both seemed to enjoy the whole experience. Some really special shots from Katie too.

 Yes, it's sexist and objectionable
