surely they are going to put nadal online at least? can't see him anywhere though.....

You say that like the men never have lopsided matches. Isn't that why so many complain about early rounds in general?
Indeed already more shocks in the women with the number 9 seed out. There's never going to be the same amount of bagels because of the serve, but I'm sure there will be plenty of straight-setters for the top 10.
I get no satisfaction from watching wholly unabalanced one-sided matches (of either sex) and these are all too common in the womens game.
This could be all done in 35 minutes. Pretty shameful.
Don't like it? Then watch another match, plenty to choose from on the BBC Sport site. Peak players sending out a come and get me challenge and when it's a player I like is the icing on the cake for me.
Anyway, Laura won a game, so it won't be as bad as I feared, insane return too, in the next game, reminds you of the power she has, still obviously not match-fit.
The use of bad language on court has happened for decades. But in times past there have been people at the BBC who made sure that as far as possible, the feed from court-side microphones was muted, when it was likely to "kick off," so the viewer missed most of it.
I'm sure the authorities at Wimbledon will have had a "quiet word," as the perceived etiquette at this event, demonstrated by players and particularly most spectators, has always been superior to that at other tournaments

eta found it!
I'd rather watch good players than shit British players getting spanked. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Nice easy start for Petra to ease her onto the grass. Bertens on the board now but I can still see this being done in 45 minutes.
And now the first set in the Kvitova centre court match lasts a massive 17 minutes!! Most women's tennis is just pathetic.
isn't it just?!
Nothing pathetic about watching peak Petra.

Far, far more prevalent in the womens game.

I'd love to see what she can do against Serena on this surface.

Rafa takes the first set 6-4....weird he looks more comfortable serve and volleying than at the baseline

He will be really awkward for rafa. Centre court written all over that one (They'll give Andy his token court 1 match thurs most likely as a result)
Did I hear the first game in the Nadal match lasted longer than Kvitova's first set
Jo in a battle here as expected. Muller has been terrible from the ground but Jo really is such an average returner
I wonder has this been Youzhny's last Wimbledon performance?
