Yay ignoring the tradition and the beautiful look of Wimbledon, the actual tennis is much better at Roland Garros. Of course that has nothing to do with Nadal winning 14 titles there as opposed to 2 at Wimbledon

Wimbledon being so soon after the French Open certainly didn't help when he was playing every final of the French Open,plus his body began breaking down . He went from making 5 straight finals to losing very early to low ranked players. But if you're going to win your first Wimbledon title might as well be the greatest match of all time

Seyboth Wild had 2 set points to go up 2 sets against Medvedev and choked 4 straight points to lose it. The first set [point 6-4 in the tiebreak was an absolute sitter. All downhill now.

Seyboth Wild was up a break in set 5, but Meddy just broke back at love.
Edit: Seyboth Wild breaks back and is serving at 4-3 in set 5.

Meanwhile, Rune is taking a MTO to get an ankle taped as Chris Eubanks is giving him all kinds of trouble.

Love the wildness of the French Open. The crowd really gets into it as well.

It was 2-1 Bianca and then Azarenka ripped off five straight games to win set 1.

Bianca just got back on serve in set 2. She's playing better and Vika's level has dropped a bit.

This announcer on the Bianca match is really disappointing though - Basically said that Bianca is not a fighter when she gets down in a match, I mean tell me you haven't watched her play much, that's one of her defining traits.
