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

Sheddie · administrator

I don't think we're getting anyone through to round 2 :(

And now Ollie has fallen, hurt his hand, something went pop, it's on fire, made him feel light-headed, all faint......

He'd just broken too

Danny1312 · Club Coach

Who has put some curse on today? So frustrating...

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Now Ollie's in trouble: two tie-breaks down, breaks for *4-3 in the third (first service break of the match), calls for trainer ("I feel light-headed, as if I'm going to pass out..."), then goes off court for an MTO! cry

Jajon · Club Coach

Guys are we going to get a win in mens or ladies today? Im nervous for em

PeteM · Junior player

Ollie has played really well today, has matched Rinderknech throughout. Whatever happens now, he's shown he belongs at a good level.

Var · Challenger qualifying

Have we not had a man or woman into the second round ever? JPJ the last hope today?

What would help, of course, is a couple of Brit v Brit draws! I know most don't like them but it does stop them all losing in round 1. I put 25 wins in the predictions. Let's hope the doubles goes well.

There's Mimi and Fran and Hannah too today, if you're counting the women too biggrin

And Ollie Tarvet is still going, so JPJ can't be our last male hope either smile

That rather depends on whether he gets on court. It's the same court as Ollie & Rinderknech & there's a women's singles scheduled before that. They could always move it, of course...

I suspect it might end up on Court 1 or 3

Just to add that I can't see him beating Nakashima anyway.
