Weeks 26 & 27 - The Championships, Wimbledon (grass) - main draw (singles)

PeteM · Junior player

Billy breaks to get back on serve at 2-2 in the third.

Toby lost a very tight third set but has held at the start of the fourth.

Jan · Hall of fame

I see 4th seed Ben Shelton has lost in 5.

Excellent news for Arthur, who now plays Virtanen instead!

Yes - what a super match

And what a performance from Otto V - great to see him at qualis

It was a real thriller

Munar has just put out the 18th seed (& Queen's champion), Francisco Cerúndolo, in straight sets (1, 4 & 3)!

L64: (WC) Arthur Féry WR 114 vs (Q) Otto Virtanen (FIN) WR 140 (CH = 91 in November 2024)

Virtanen has just seen off Ben Shelton, the fourth seed (shock of the tournament so far?), by 6-4 3-6 6-7(8) 6-2 7-6(11-9). He will be a handful!

Toby is playing some inspired stuff and has taken it to a fifth against Mensik, including a quite brilliant winner at 15-30 down in the final game of the set.

I bet the groundsmen will be cursing the players on Court 3. They've made a right mess of the grass round the baseline area. At first, I thought it was just Mensik dragging his trailing foot when he served, but then I realised that Toby was doing it, too.

christ · Challenger qualifying

Shouldn't the receiver be penalised if he isn't ready when the server is? Mr Mensik has made Mr Samuel wait to serve on numerous occasions.
