Does that mean it's not televised on main ESPN channel? That would be awful. -
Just returned to find the night Djokovic vs Hurkacz match -- disappeared -- nowhere on the Wimbledon web site. I mean literally nowhere
I know the result now, but this is my process I had to go through as a fan ...
Seriously. I had to use Google to find the score. Not under Wimbledon site's "Live", because it stopped in some fashion, so I go to "Results". But it isn't under results, so that's either a mistake or it was suspended. I go to "Order" for tomorrow and it's not there. OK, they haven't had time and scheduling can take a while so ...
I go to "News". Nothing.
Ah, but Wimbledon has posted to Twitter that the match is "suspended" because, I presume, the 11 pm curfew. But with zero details.
Ah, finally! Google shows Novak won two tiebreaks. Thank you Sergey Brin.
Tennis, the most disorganized of organized sports.

Hurcatz probably can't believe he's two sets down after a first percentage of over 80%.
Novak is recognised for he's great defensive skills but the last couple of years have seen him defend less and less in rallies in my view. He seems to be switching much more often to dishing it out.StottyComment

Jim, Serena just tweeted you have no idea what is up. Womens tennis is what all want to see. ESPN knows what the people want!Originally posted by jimlosaltos View PostComment

Tsitsipas in trouble down a break at 0-1 5th set. It has not been a particularly great match for either player, but Eubanks has competed well and seems to be heating up at the right time.Comment

Up next for Chris it looks like Med. And what a superb likeable post match on court interview. He definitely has a career in broadcasting way in his future. It will certainly be all on his racquet vs Med. Can he rain down enough timely winners?Comment

Very compelling final 8. A couple of dark horses in there no doubt.Comment

I saw the first set and a half, which was strewn with errors by Eubanks. He must have improved a lot to then go on and win the match. Court 2 is a horrible court and many a top player has been sent packing on it. I remember watching John McEnroe lose to Tim Gullikson in 1979 on that court. It's an unsettling court with a funny atmosphere to it. It used to be nicknamed the 'graveyard'.Originally posted by stroke View PostStottyComment

Alcaraz wins in four sets.
Alcaraz drops sets here and there to players but nonetheless most of the time he's head and shoulders above the rest of the field, save Mr Djokovic of course.StottyComment

Odds are out for the final 8. Of course, Novak, Sinner, Medvedev, and Alcaraz are the favorites in their respective matches, in that order(strongest to weakest). Very interesting. If I were to take a flyer on any of the underdogs, it would be ....Chris ha.Last edited by stroke; 07-11-2023, 02:11 AM.Comment

Chris is leading the tournament in number aces at the moment. Of course, two of the players will no longer be adding to the count. Bublik also kind of cancels out his fine serving work as he leads the tournament table when it comes to double faults...with 38.
C. Eubanks 85 aces
A. Bublik 84 aces
H. Hurkacz 82 aces
Hurkacz has hit the quickest serve of the tournament so far with a 141mph rocket.StottyComment

Yes I would say 38 doubles take him out of the conversationComment
