What an amazing afternoon. I feel quite exhausted! I don't think I have ever switched channels quite so much. At one time Liam and Katie were in synch so you could watch each hold their serve.
Me too.
I had one on TV. And one on the laptop
And was trying to keep an eye on other things too - spectator gymnastics
Why does centre court start at 1.30 pm . Pathetic scheduling and if the Murray Tsitsipas match is unable to finish tonight then officials only have themselves to blame .
Liam was so, so incredible - it was thoroughly enjoying throughout. Of all the players I feel he deserves a run like this. He was screwed over by covid ranking points to the higher players, screwed over by no points last year, theres nobody on either tour who deserves a top 100 spot than him. So pleased!
Liams half has 7 seeds into the last 32. More importantly, his quarter has 2 of 8 through. They are Sinner and Shapo, but its certainly wide open if he can keep going!
Liam has beaten Shapovalov before. I clearly remember a minor 'spat' at the end when Denis didn't take kindly to Liam's roar of delight, to which Liam retorted - 'I'm glad I won because you are a very good player'.
Let's hope he can repeat. A win would give him a CH ranking inside the top 110.
