    I wonder how Djoko will handle it even hotter tomorrow.

    don't forget you've got a busy day tomorrow:
    1. kidnap Garry Richardson and lock in cupboard
    2. have a go in The Egg and and become 25
    3. switch settings on The Egg once you've had your go.

    I feel really bad for what's happening to Bouchard. Surely this partnership with Sumyk can't last much longer?

    And now Halep is gone. Difficult to view her as the world #3 when she keeps flopping at slams.

    They have moved Sabine's match from court 12 to court 16, why not put her on one of the show courts?:confused::o

    did anyone just see that shot in the monfils match? it was like a magic trick

    he returned serve and put this massive reverse spin on it so it bounced and spun back over the net before his opponent could get there.....

    it was so good john lloyd laughed :o:o:o:o
    *faints*

    Simona seems to be struggling at the moment and Bouchard only God knows what's going on with her right now!

    It must take some fitness to play in this heat

    Mention for the officials as well. Must be hard to concentrate when it's as hot as this

    And they can't even move around. The umpire is stuck in his/her high chair and the linespersons have to stay static too. And I bet there'll be a lot of burnt shoulders and necks tonight among the spectators!

    Halep will drop out of the top 5 after Wimbledon and Bouchard the top 20.

    I'm shocked at the Halep result, it was only a couple of months ago that she was fighting Maria for number 2. She is definitely in a slump, I hope she can improve soon.

    I'm very happy about Rafa, all my organs still belong to me which is a bonus. I so want him to get to the quarters, I'm totally fine with Andy beating him then. Andy is my pick to win the whole thing so if Rafa's going to lose I want it to be to Andy.

    Agreed.

    Phew what a scorcher.

    Just got back from a day on Court 3. Missed the Bouchard match cause I needed some shade. Glad I didn't queue. Met one woman who'd joined at 5am to get Show Court tickets and didn't get them.

    People were still joining at 10am despite being told there was a 7 hour wait. Rather them than me.

    Surprised there aren't more pages of comments to read through today!
    This build up to Andy is cringeworthy.

    Are we going to have the misfortune of viewing this before every match and no doubt every rain delay?:(

    Totally cingeworthy. They just kept one channel on centre the whole time even the bits where players hadn't come on yet when there were really exciting matches going on elsewhere. At one point I switched on to see some slow-mo black and white shots of Andy Murray and quickly turned over. I can understand the story videos for a semi or final but I really hope they don't do this for every Murray match. They should just switch to another live match until they are on court at least.

    That is crazy. They will be dead with heat exhaustion by the time they get in.
