[FedFanForever]

Berdych being ousted gave confidence to the rest of the field. I have no doubt Falla got fired up from that.

[Lugburz]

ffs Kohli out of Olympics due to injury. 

German committee at its finest! They really screwed hard this year.
Not only they didn't nominate Tommy in the 1st place, but they put Kohli on hold too. Because of it, Kohli had no choice but to play his scheduled tours. Now he injured himself, and germans are left only with Petzschner, which is ironic, because he was alternative lol

Georges up a set & playing well agaist Radwanska.   The rain has delayed proceedings - I wanted to see the Murray & Djokovic's matches.

It's going with serve in the second set  & Georges still determined. Radwanska could well be in trouble here. 

EDIT  -  Radwanska won the second set 7-6. These two aren't going to give ground easily, and it's a good match.   Tracey Austin is one of the commentators, and just confirmed how slow the Wimbledon courts play now. She said it wasn't her favourite surface when she was on tour as it was "way too fast"  & she'd have liked to have played on it now.   

[Alex]

I'm watching this match right now. Thank God, TSN is finally showing some tennis. It is super cool that both girls are so quiet and composed. No screaming, shrieking ... love it.

Quiet and composed, agreed.

However, all the women have the same playing style. Hardly any slice or volleys. Only Serena Williams can mix it up with her serve.

[Bazcovic]

Both Goerges and Radwanska play as if on a clay court. They are virtually glued to the baseline.

[Alex]

I'm so mad right now. I can't even find a freaking live stream for Nole's match. grrrrrrrr

[Alex]

wow, Aga is out 

[Bazcovic]

Federer is spectating Wawrinka vs. Murray with Mirka. Funny.

This is going to be a thriller!

[Dallas]

I was watching Novak on my phone, then the rain came and suspended play.

I'm not sure if you can get  "livescorehunter" but a friend of mine in Montreal uses it.

I see Georges remained focused & won it.  Good for her.

Came back to see Murray take the first set & break in the second. I'm hoping this will done in straights.
A second break would be good!

I thought you might already be aware of it!    The only other one might be sportlemon.
Here is the BBC link - I doubt if it will work but no harm in trying.

Wawrinka in trouble on serve.
