Disappointing Jack and Katie lost as felt they couldve both made deep runs, Harriet and cam will probably lose in the next round

 Alcaraz also almost came unstuck today but I believe that is because he wants to be at his peak next week and all his psychological and physical preparation will be tweaked towards that.

Nobody can play at their peak all the time. It's not physically possible.

 You ought to see me.

 

(... it helps that my peak and my trough are pretty much identical)

Good luck to Cam today: going to be tough, Zverev is v good on grass and a tough player for Cam, basically hes a better player than Cam.

But hoping Cam will give it a real fight

Amazing story as the Lucky Loser, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, only age 20, continues his romp through the draw, and is now into the second week

Likeable young man too

Great to see and all the best to him 

Although, as you will know very well yourself, he is certainly not just any LL. He may have lost to Billy at Queen's ( not that that is exactly a great negative these days ) but he is a former JWR 4 and is currently senior WR 58, having won ATP Lyon 250 prior to the French Open.

 Great to see 

Although, as you will know very well yourself, he is certainly mot just sny LL. He may have lost to Billy at Queen's ( not that that is exactly a great negative these days ) but he is for mer JWR 4 abd is now senior WR 58, having won ATP Lyon 250 prior to the French Open.

 Absolutely - which sort of begs the question how hw managed to lose to Janvier in the first place biggrin

But that's tennis I guess smile

(NB Arthur Fils is 3-0 up in the fifth and if he finishes that off too, it'll be party time for the french federation - both age 20, both very likeable lads, playing aggressive tennis, who are spearheading the new wave of French male players, and both also black, which is something the press focus on, and pleases the FFT)

A quote from Wednesday's Times Tennis daily e-mail:

Fourteen years ago my sister [Elgan Alderman's, that is] queued early and took a seat on Court 18. Her only day at SW19 and she watched part of John Isner and Nicolas Mahuts 138-game fifth set. I thought of Isner as I looked at Giovanni Mpetshi Perricards win over Sebastian Korda: 7-6 (7-5), 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (8-6), 6-7 (4-7), 6-3. Parentheses have never been so sexy. The 20-year-old Frenchman, who is 6ft 8in, hit 51 aces, and had the temerity to break Kordas serve in the finale. Boo.
