I was thinking that the Goffin/Djokovic match was more of an exhibition match but if Goffin can pull off a win, that takes the 1500 'undefeated champion' points off the table for Novak. Obviously the same goes for Murray/Wawrinka. So there's still lots to play for, for both.

As for Murray, he still needs to win a set to guarantee qualification . If he loses 2-0 he would go to a set difference of +1 along with Warwinka. Nishikori with ANY win over Cilic would go to at least a set difference of +2 and win the group, and Murray would lose out on H2H record with Warwinka for the runner up spot. |

Harry's never-ending luck.
Not only did he get the weaker group, he now has to play Goffin. So lucky here and at the USO. Has been lucky throughout his career ![]()

I've always thought he had a huge amount of luck too - even with net cords going for him. Then I remembered Andy got a bit lucky against Nishikori with his net cords, but that's just one match, Novak seems to get the benefit of them all the time.

Fergus Murphy likes the sound of his own voice. These warnings just fire players up to play better.

Boris looks grey faced today. Another shade to add to his colour palette.

Wrong Sue. Berdych didn't say he wasn't fit enough to play.

You've got to feel sorry for the people who have paid good money to watch this.
It is basically nothing more than a very gentle training session for Djokovic. |

Poor from little Daveeeed. He's normally a lot more consistent than that.

BBC Wimbledon coverage extended to 2024. Roof on number 1 court has been removed in preparation for the sliding roof in 2019.

Why does it take quite so long to put a roof on?

It doesn't seem a very long time alright just to put a retracting roof up.
Does it really take us 5 years to do something that Japan can do in a couple of weeks? |

They've been talking about it (and presumably planning for it) for at least 2 years, and it will be another 3 years until it's operating.

Be thankful you're not French. They've been planning a roof on Philippe Chatrier Court for over 10 years and still no closer to a completion date.

Ha! I was just about to mention their inactivity. They'll still be talking about it a decade from now. People think the Wimbledon residents are hostile to change.
