Can't beat the Murray Magic. Hope he can pull off a miracle run and go reasonably deep.

Berretini out of the tournament with Covid.
ffs… that’s a career defining negative moment, unfortunately… and a letdown for his staff as well

speculation about how he got infected is a bit silly, yet somewhere missing somewhat for sure

Amazing how Kyrgios finds something to moan about after every single dropped shot.

Will never understand his passive play on grass when it's been a key reason for his early losses over the last decade.

Nadal has been poor, so erratic. But Cerundolo has also been playing some lovely stuff at times.

This Nadal would stand no chance vs Djokovic on grass anyway.

Kyrgios admitting he spat towards a spectator who was abusing him. What’s the potential consequences of that?

Yeah he will have to improve massively but he's not played on grass in 3 years, so no real concerns. The 2018 SF shows he should be able to compete with Novak at least.

FAA 2-1 down to Cressy who is a potential QF opponent for Rafa. Tricky first round to be fair.

Even with his full ground game, he'd struggle. Compared to 2018, he doesn't have the serve this time to win free points.

1st game on grass in 3 years, right? Not too shabby. Onwards and upwards!

Nadal's gotten really lucky with his draw opening up. Berretini and Cilic, huge tests, both withdraw with COVID and now FAA down 2-1.

These commentators are unbelieveable. All they seem to be able to mention is Serena's power and intimidation. People get paid for this.

She's playing some beautiful tennis after the first games, it is ridiculous really.

Why has Serena Williams get a pair of beachballs stuffed down the back of her shorts?
And big beachballs at that.

Weirdly I think he might prefer playing one of those guys before a potential match with Djokovic. He's capable of beating those guys anyway but they would prove a real test for him and be able properly gauge his level. Still better for him and there are some dangerous guys left so not a terrible thing by any means.

Men’s draw is insanely bad at this point. I would be shocked if Djokovic doesn’t win. If I asked you to right now pick 5 players who could win this tournament I think it would be a struggle to go beyond 2-3
