Well I hope Murray doesn't play like that against Kei if he is his next opponent.
Yay Rafa up next. These courts don't help. I thought they were meant to be like the US Open ones, but they are much more slow. Was it deliberate, to get players to turn up, but to advantage the local clay specialists, or did they just lay it wrong? Some commentators were talking about it being very gritty because it had just been laid, but surely there's more to it than that. It's not going to speed up by Sunday, is it? |

i've never been so aware of linesmen before they are miles away from the wall almost with the player receiving serve, then they run about - how off putting for the server

I sometimes think Murray prefers to play against higher ranked opponents he's used to, rather than someone lower ranked who can take him by surprise.

The ball boys (who are over 40) keep moving about during the rallies also. Fabio told them to stop moving yesterday.
the ball-oaps have bloody cushions on court to kneel on

I think today he just thought it would be an easy ride and was caught off gaurd by Johnson raising his game. Same as yesterday basically. |

I read that too quickly and thought you said her Royal Box.
![]() It's not nice booing him though just because he wins a point. |

Rafa is getting angry about the booing and cheering. Talking to Jake.

Dunno but the BBC had to apologise for the comment Paul Hand made during Jo's match when he said he hoped they didn't show 2 blokes kissing during KissCam.
![]() i'm going to say it but i think the brazilian audiences are really rude. |
