Wimbledon

[Eve]

Who is watching this year? Really enjoyed yesterday's tennis, especially the Venus Williams v. Putintseva match, maybe one to watch for the future, although I imagine they may have had a word about attacking the Court with her racket!

Also rather unimpressed with Kyrgios's attitude yesterday, shame as he was a one to watch this year.

Watching Federer now and waiting for Rafa to come on!

Who are your tips for the Wimbledon crowns this year?

So far I'm going to go for Djokovic for the men's but not sure about the women's yet.

[Prudie]

I can't see anyone beating Djokovic at the moment although my dream win would be Rafa but i don't think it's at all likely based on his recent performances. I'm happy for anyone to win as long as it's not Andy Murray - just slipping that in there and promise won't add any more negative stuff about him to any more tennis threads this year :-) I don't really follow the women's but isn't Serena Williams miles ahead of anyone else on form?

[Eve]

Rafa is coming on next. I do like watching him play.

Women's wise, both sisters are such amazing powerhouses, although I generally like more of a grateful match full of volleys more than just powering out aces and such, they are quite something to watch!

[Eve]

Our Heather Watson plays Serena Williams next! She has never played her before, must be a daunting thought! Really hope I can catch that match.

What do you think of Murray, Prudie ?

[Eve]

No offence to him but I can't get that excited about his games. I love watching the "veterans" though, McEnroe, Nastase etc... Didn't manage to catch them this year so will have to see if I can this year.

Prudie, have you seen this video of Djkovic, I love it!

Sorry, that was about Andy Murray, excuse the butting in :)

I agree with you n the winner, Eve, but i have followed Novak Djokovic for a number of years. Too short @ 5/4 for my liking so i have gone for a Djoko/Federer final @ 4/1. Whilst Novak digs deep when up against it, Roger Federer never appears flustered and i don't think i've ever seen a classier player. He is in the same half of the draw as Murray and currently leads 13-12 in the head to heads - after trailing 12-10 before the 2014 Australia open.

I have had a smaller bet on two-time Champ Petra Kvitova in the women's section @ 11/4. I backed her last year and cannot see this year's tournament going to anyone else other than her or Serena Williams - got the same 11/4 for the final to be between he two.

[Prudie]

Eve are you sure Rafa is coming up next? I looked for him in order of play last night and just checked again, can't see it on the BBC website.

Canary he doesn't appeal to me in any way, he has a massive following so the fact I don't like him is meaningless.

Rafa is on now.

He is playing Dustin Brown and it could be fun as he looks like
a rasta- so rafa/rasta

[Eve]

He's playing now on BB1 coverage, playing Brown.

I'd love a Djkovic v Nadal final, or Federer maybe if not Nadal.

I've not managed to catch Kvitkova playing yet this tournament.

[Eve]

Kvitova even!

[Sipowicz]

Rafa's going a bit thin on top!

[Eve]

What a cracking game, I'm hooked! Being given a run for his money, much as I like Rafa, Brown is playing some beautiful tennis! Some amazing shots!

[Sipowicz]

What a first set, well done Dustin!

[Eve]

Fantastic set! Wonderful tennis.

[Eve]

One set each and Rafa inching back into control, still all to play for in this next set!

[Sipowicz]

This match just keeps getting better!

[Sipowicz]

Keep it going Dustin!

[Eve]

Wow, he's playing the match of his life, that's for sure, two sets against Nadal, incredible tennis!

[Eve]

Broken him again already! I actually want him to win now!
