Bravo Carlos! A worthy winner of an epic final. :clap:

13 Deuces in the 5th game of the 3rd set. 7th break point finally converted by Alcaraz. The game lasted 26 minutes. o_O

Vondrousova a worthy winner of the match and the tournament. First unseeded women's champion in Open era. Would've loved Jabeur to have done it for both Arabia and Africa, but it wasn't to be. 3rd time lucky next year? I hope so.

The closest that comes to mind in other sports is possibly the USA v USSR 1980 'Miracle on Ice' or 1972 Olympic basketball final with upsets in both. In football, possibly USA v Iran in 1998. Or even post-war whenever the likes of Hungary, France and especially the Netherlands faced Germany...

Can you imagine Svitolina v Sabalenka in the Wimbledon final? Talk about a game within a game. Of course politics and sport really shouldn't mix, but outside her own support team, she'd have the whole of the crowd on her side.

And with Svitolina winning, there'll be a guaranteed non-seed in the Wimbledon women's final.

Astonishing collapse by 4th seed Jess Pegula. At 3-1 up with the break in the 3rd set, the roof closes. Then having been 4-1 up with a point for a double break, she loses the next 5 games. o_O

What a match by Eubanks! Knocks out another seed.

That seems very good value with either Pella (ranked 333) or Safiullin (ranked 99) in R4.

Drama in that last game, but Murray wins the 3rd set. So frustrating they won't be able to finish the match tonight though because of the 11pm curfew. But with that yelp of pain, I'd get him off now just in case. And thankfully that's what's happened.

Game on! 1 set all. :) Hoping that Tsitsipas will be feeling his 5 set R1 match in his legs soon.

As Broady has put out the 4th seed, one might think the 26th seed in Shapovalov is beatable with a home crowd support. Should he win that, he'd be playing a non-seed for a place in the Quarter-Finals as both seeds in Coric and Bautista Agut went out in R1. A big opportunity here.

So Cameron Norrie will be facing Chris Eubanks. Let's hope for a knockout in 3.

These rain delays have caused a few issues. Top seed Iga Swiatek's through to the 3rd Round already, but some of the other players haven't played their 1st Round games yet.

2nd protest today with another jigsaw and more orange confetti in the middle of the Boulter first set tiebreak. That's one item they won't be stocking in the Wimbledon shop from tomorrow.

To be fair, they've got a point. I thought I'd have some sardines for breakfast this morning. Having opened up the can, I found out it was full of oil and all the fish were dead.

Protesters on Court 18 throwing orange confetti and a jigsaw puzzle around. Thankfully it's probably a 500 piece puzzle rather than a 1000. They take a lot longer to complete.

Were Murray to overcome either Tsitsipas or Thiem, then win his 3rd round game, he'd be likely to face Cameron Norrie in R4.

According to the BBC live text, there are long delays with people trying to get into to Wimbledon today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/tennis/65583864/page/2 Dan: Queue an absolute shambles so far. Stewards and punters alike saying it’s the worst it’s ever been. We arrived at 6:15 and...
