Tennis!

It's been confirmed now!

Andy Murray is my favourite sportsperson, and Serena is one of my least favourite. So this should be interesting!

Martina Hinigis and Anna Kournikova

This is the Mega Powers of tennis.

It feels like cheating. I hope they lose.

It'll all go wrong when Murray gets angry because Serena carried Kim Sears to the back when she was hurt.

[Chris2K]

Serena's lowering herself to play with some guy who's only ranked 227th in the world. Serena and Federer, now that would be cheating.

[Bobfoc]

Then wouldn't Federer be lowering himself to play with some woman who's only ranked tenth? Djokovic and Barty would be the true God Mode cheat.

Just put a couple of quid on Murray and Serena to win the mixed doubles, 9/2 is a decent price.

Well that was sad to see. Margarita Gasparyan, who has had three knee surgeries already despite being 24 years old, led 8th seed Elina Svitolina 7-5, 5-5, jarred her knee on landing after a serve, crumpled to the floor and had to retire a game later after being broken. She was two points from victory only minutes before the injury, ended up in tears on her chair.

Coco Gauff's fairytale introduction to Wimbledon continued with a second-round victory that belied her years over Magdalena Rybarikova. The 15-year-old American qualifier needed just one hour nine minutes to beat her Slovakian opponent 6-3 6-3 under Court One's new roof.

I really hope she wins the whole thing.

Capriati apparently made the semi finals in 1991 as a 15-year-old, which is utterly baffling to me.

Kerber has been knocked out in the second round by world #95 Lauren Davis of America.

[Bobfoc]

Nick Kyrgios is such a tosspot.

[The Lusophone]

True, but he's right about Nadal taking an age between points and games - his ability to get under Rafa's skin is great but Nadal almost definitely played it up here.

Not as much as Tomic.

A great story, especially as Davis actually lost in qualifying and got a Lucky Loser spot.

Kyrgios is an absolute tosser. Does this petulance and fucking about on purpose, it's pathetic. Spitting on Centre Court? This is a respectful sport, and he has none.

Tomic is a whole other story.

[Bobfoc]

Amazing from Gauff. She came from a set down and facing more than one match point to win. Simona Halep is next.
