Well done Babs and Lucie, I can only imagine what they must've initially thought on seeing the draw. Two big shocks in the women's doubles, there are medals for the taking now.

You need shades to look at Delpo's shoes

I'm surprised more people cheered for Novak than Delpo...

Very rowdy crowd. This could drive Djoko nuts.

This is almost like a home tie for Delpo with all the Argentinian flags.

Mahut and Herbert are in trouble in the doubles.

Just to change the conversation slightly, I wonder if Dan Evans could find himself in some bad press.

His Aston Villa supporting friend on Twitter sent some racist tweets to Birmingham City player David Davis (calling him a "half breed" and a "f*cking oreo") to which Evo laughed and joined in somewhat (although he didn't say anything racist himself).

Tweets deleted now but lots of people screen-shotted it and calling him out for it. Would be a shame as he's done well the last 12 months.

How are ye all watching the tennis, on the red button is it? Cause it currently isn't working here in Ireland *roll eyes smiley*
I've managed to tune in some of the red button channels on Sky, but can only get centre court for the tennis.

BBC Sport online has Centre and 1 streams. Both tend to randomly appear as and when the BBC feels like it on the Red Button tv feeds. I don't think they've given Court 3 any airtime but it can be accessed via other means. Not all the courts have got cameras though.

Sacre bleu! Mahut and Herbert are out!

Thanks

What on Earth is going on with the linesmen, have they really not employed enough to cover every line so they have to run between the two? Never seen this before.

Some cracking tennis going on. Djokovic vs Del Potro and Murray brothers playing doubles. Well worth staying up for.

Andy & Jamie are going to have to do it the hard way after losing the 1st set on a tb.

Wow, interesting. I thought the talk of Djokovic having a tough opener was overblown, didn't think Del Potro could mount this much of a challenge. Could all change, of course, but interesting nonetheless. Djokovic looks.. tired?
