Mind you, the Radio Times page reported that there were five men wildcards and five women wildcards 

And the BBC Facts line that scrolls across the page this morning said there were five male wildcards and all had won bar Paul Jubb.....

How is it SO difficult to get the basics right? 

I mean, you only have to do a 'control find' for 'wc' on the draw and they'll all pop up ....


 How do you do control find, I couldnt work it out ?! 


I may be wrong (I'm more or less IT illiterate!), but CD may have meant control+F.  Just a suggestion.  wink

 Thank you, SC smile

Yes, the F stands for 'find' (as far as I know....)

Like control+A for 'all' and various other ones....

And that's about the limit of my computer skills......no

Another Dutchman, van der Zandschulp , looks good on grass also. The Dutch have a history on grass, from Richard Krajicek, through Paul Haarhuis, Eltingh and Schapers were both good, back to Tom Okker. They tend to have a similar game to the Brits but also be a bit larger in size, and a bit better looking than us Brits, darn those Dutch!

I reckon one of the Dutch will go deep this time and also watch our for Wes Koolhof with Neal in the doubles, they are genuine contenders

Kyrgios looked v good in winning today, very comfortably as well.

Tsitsipas looking like he has learned how to play grass now as well. In control over Thompson.

These would play next I believe - that is Centre Court all over it for Saturday

 van de Z vs Nadal would be an interesting potential L16 match.

 Yeh really thought Liam might do it here when I saw he'd taken the first set 6-2, even losing the second 6-4 saw him still in it and alive - but he's just lost the third set to a bagel (by a bagel?)...

Not been watching Liam. But maybe he just to an extent let the 3rd set go in the end? He had a BP at the start of set 4.

*0-1

Though then to be broken to love was probably not part of his plan

0-2*
