Yes for Nadal & Pella but if you actually know RBA, he is anything but a clay specialist. In fact RBA is actually somewhat better on hard court & even grass than he is on clay believe it or not.

RBA is actually better on the quicker surfaces than the slower ones.
He's not the stereotypical claycourt Spaniard.

RBA has two wins over Novak in 2019 (both on hard courts) at Doha and at Miami. Of course, this is Wimbledon and it's best 3 of 5.

Fabio fined three grand - Is the NHL DOPS making these decisions?

Today at Nadal's pressor:
Journalist: Ashleigh Barty was on the Court 2, she was world no.1, knock out. Your game was over in under an hour and a half. Do you think there was an argument that Barty's game should have been on Centre Court?
Nadal: But can we predict the future or not?
Journalist: She's the world #1
Nadal: I'm the world #2 and I won 18 Grand Slams

Why do people care where they play? Unless you were a fan on site and couldn't get in because the court was full.

Equality. It's a running theme.

Gabriela Dabrowski still flying Canadian colours in both women's doubles and mixed doubles after her and partner Mate Pavic win their mixed doubles match that was suspended due to darkness last night.

Serena vs Halep could be a great Wimbledon final let's hope that's what we get. Glad Wimbledon has separated the Womens and Mens matches in the 2nd week. I admit when they are both on at the same time I don't have time to watch the Women's side and only focus on the Men's side.
Tomorrow I fully expect Querry to give Nadal a good challenge, he is the type of player that has taken Nadal out at Wimbledon lately. Plus Querry is a big game player at Wimbledon taking out Djokovic and Murray in the past.

I guess we will see, I thought Berrettini would give Roger a tough match yesterday and all Matteo could muster was winning a measly five games in three sets.

between the Big 3 matches yesterday, there was only a single break point against, and it was in Roger's match. so technically he was the one put under the most pressure?

I'll go with Fed gets broken, Kei will get at least one break of serve in the opening set (of course, Fed will break back at some point in the opening set) and it will all be over before Kei calls for the trainer

Why are tournament medical staff in tennis referred to as the "trainer"? What are they training people to do, and who are these people?

Novak decided to deliver a bagel to his Belgian opponent today, no waffling on who's heading to the semi-finals.
