Girls: 2021 Wimbledon (Week 27)

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Well, they have more of a welfare issue now, IMO. With Matilda and Vidmanova having been on court 2h 40 mins and now about to enter the start of a third set.

Enjoyed watching that.

Love the new hair-do, Ranah - quite a change from Surbiton

Well done, nice win, easily within her stride

DavidC · Tennis legend

Ranah was very poised and unbroken throughout, coming through 6-4 6-4

A quicker third set sees Matilda through 7-5 6-7(3) 6-1. It remains to be seen whether a 3 hour match is sufficiently long for the organisers to hold back her scheduled round 3 to tomorrow

Thrilled she won in the end. However.....

The other issue is I see that Ranah is supposed to play the winner of Eala's match.

And it's scheduled as the match straight after Derrick's Chen's. Which is in progress.

But Eala+ have only just started. Because the match before them on that court also went on for 2.5 hours or so.

They'll have to change that too

Alicia should be on again in an hour or so on court 11 against the Roehampton finalist.

I am guessing that 4 Brits into the L16 stacks up very well against the norm?

Don't know about the norm - but I'm guessing you're right too biggrin - however, I looked at the 2019 results yesterday, and in the girls we only had one through to the L16 there (Matilda)

So, yep, miles better this year smile

I thought those were an excellent clutch of results, including Eva's, given her opponent and the match.

Alicia is on court with a break fest - 4-4 with 6 breaks

DavidC · Tennis legend

Alicia duly claims the 7th break - and eventually takes her fifth setpoint for a 6-4 first set

I cannot recall the last time we had 4 in the last 16. We nearly managed it in 2014 when Gabi Taylor, Maia Lumsden and Katie Boulter reached round 3, and Issy Wallace only just missed out.

Is the Alicia match streamed?

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

They've changed the order of play to insert an extra match after chen's and before Kylie.
However, still don't think that'll be enough as Eala+ are into a third set.

Matilda has a not before 4 pm start time. Which is not only less than generous but unacceptable, in my view.

Goodness Matilda makes a noise!
