Straggler Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 That would be Katie Boulter. One of several up and coming young British tennis players. They all seem to be called Katie too. I actually thought Boulters doubles partner Katie Swan looked the better player having seen them both play now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I saw the other Katy ( Dunne ) against Ostapenko the other day on Centre, having already enjoyed Muguruza and Broady earlier on. Seemed to end up watching rather a lot of ladies tennis there for some reason Glorious sunshine and with a phenomenally English diet of pimms, pimms, cod and chips, pimms, strawberries and cream, and pimms. Then discovered the result of the England match via the underground doors on a tube station opening and hearing three lions blasting out the sound system. Cilic just losing now means it's a sleepwalk to the final for Federer now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Diatchenko is playing now, she is another talented tenniser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Epic SF going on between Anderson and Isner. 18/18 Final Set so far, no signs of a winner yet either. Could go on forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted July 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2018 Remember John Isner is the guy that won the last set 70-68 at Wimbledon a few years ago. The guy is a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I think its a mistake not to have a 5th set tie-break. when you have two big servers like Anderson and Isner the match just goes on too long and Anderson will be at a disadvantage in the final now. I thought that was high quality stuff from Nadal and Djokovic. Djokovic has the advantage but I still wouldn't like to call it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea of a tie break at like 10-10 or 12-12 for example is a workable compromise. Give space for the extended set but ultimately have a cut off limit built in. Novak will win this now I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Anderson is a disgrace, hate it when players like this get to the final because it becomes a no-contest. Another slam for the drug cheat Djokovic then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy played over 50 games in 5th set just two days ago and is now playing against one of the best players of all time. I think it is OK to cut him some slack.

It's great for him that he's there, and he is there on merit, but nevertheless I despise these finals where a lower top 10 seed makes it and it becomes a dead rubber either because they bottle it or at too tired, and Anderson is probably a combination of the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve lost the plot Dr P. Truly lost it. Have you watched any of Anderson’s matches other than today’s final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
