What on earth are they thinking at Wimbledon .

Looks like theyre sticking Alcaraz on either 2 or 3 and the line up for no 1 Court is pathetic . Zverev fair enough but really the two womens matches on that court looks like a poor decision .

 I thought Alcaraz was a certainty for Centre. Shocked he is not even one 1

Alcaraz doesn't seem to be playing at all tomorrow. Pesumably because they are trying to get the bottom half of the draw second round completed.

Thank you for spelling my name correctly, Jaggy.  Most people don't!

 Got to be respectful of these things and pay attention to detail in my line of work

Quentin Halys, who made some friends here when he beat Evo, has just won his second round match very easily

Ranked ATP 79, he's now into the last 32

Jan has been playing decent tennis - holding his own - but never having a sniff at the Pole's serve - and just getting broken at the end of the set

4-6 4-6 2-2

A very good show on the show court by Dan

but the mess of yesterday was too much to get past

All too late....

COngrats to Halys though - he played a good match here

Pity the commentators/interviewer can't be bothered to learn the correct pronuncation of "Quentin"...

 I know - my 'French' son walked through the room yesterday as the commentator was saying it, and stopped short and said something along the lines of 'WTF?'

I know that pronounciations are difficult - but if you've only got two players, and they play a match for about three hours, I do feel that you've got enough time to check how to say the guy's name !!!

Almost ten times worse, I'd say:  I swear that I heard Nesta McGregor (I think) pronounce Daria Saville's surname "Seville" yesterday!    Absolutely no excuse for that.  But then, he's from a generation that seems to think monarchs are "coronated" & people "registrated"...

They're doing it again with "Stefanos Tsitsipas":  the stress should be on the first syllable of his Christian name &, strictly speaking, on the final syllable of his surname.
