Djokovic is playing Draper.

Djokovic defeated Draper 4 6, 6 1,6 2, 6 2
Wimbledon is so formal. Linesmen dressed in sports coats and ties. The rain made the grass courts slippery. Players have been slipping all morning.

Federer really needs to beat Djokovic here and if he is in the finals, I suspect Federer will get him this time unles Djokovic is truly peaking again. Any slight drop in form and I think Federer gets him if they meet in the finals and both players are healthy |

Federer fan here. Will be a tall order for the 40 year old maestro to pull off the victory over Djokovic at this stage. He has choked too many times against Djoker in the biggest matches to be able to win now imo, but i would love to see it happen. |

#41 Mannarino is giving #8 Federer all he wants. He broke Rodger at love. 1 set apiece. 5 2 Adrian 3rd set _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I was wondering when not if the slippery courts because of rain would cause an injury. Looks like Mannarino is a victim. He slipped and is being attended to. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

The slippery grass got Serena. She's gone to the locker room with an attendant. Medical timeout. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Really sad how it happened. Dangerous grass. Everyone seems to be slipping. |

This really sucks. Having played on grass courts in Rancho Mirage, I can tell you for a fact that it gets very dangerous if there is any moisture out there at all. I've played in tournaments there a few times, and one day it actually drizzled a bit. We tried to play through it and guys started slipping. Luckily, I didn't, but you could feel the difference. One of our opponents in a doubles match slipped and fell hard, and finally they halted play for the day after that.
By the way, grass court tennis is awesome. Nothing like it. It sure as hell beats playing on dirt, I can tell you that. |

Kudla down 2 sets to Djokovic is fighting back Leads 3 0 in the 3rd set. The grass course is still slippery. Djo has slipped twice today.
EDIT: Dojokovic wins straight sets 6 4, 6 3, 7 6 tie breaker. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

#1 Djokovic defeated #20 Garin 6 2, 6 4, 6 2. #6 Federer has to get a win over #20 Sonegoita to keep the highly anticipated Fed vs Djok alive.
#20 Gauf vs #25 Kerber up next on Center court. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

It's too bad Gauff lost, but Kerber is the real deal, and if playing as she used to, could definitely win this thing again. But anyone of those that are left could, except maybe one or two. Three matches for whoever does. Swiatek went down hard in the last two serves, amazing serve by Jabeur. She has a fun style, would be fun to see her and Barty in a final, hitting angles, drop shots, variety jambalaya.
For men, Djokovic Federer final rematch still in play. Long way to go for both. |

I thought there was a “sharapova” rule where you couldn’t scream on every hit. #2 women’s player was flat out screaming through a bullhorn this morning on every swing. |

#1 Djokovic defeats #48 Fucsovics 6 3, 6 4, 6 4. If Federer keeps playing the way he's playing Hurkacz he won't get to play Djo. He's 2 sets down. 6 3, 7 6. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I think the rule is being debated. Quote: | The WTA rules state that: 'Any continual distraction of regular play, such as grunting, shall be dealt with in accordance with the Hindrance Rule. ' In essence, a player can be docked a point for grunting.Mar 28, 2017 |
