Nice backhand winner for the break. Let's go Felix!

Tomljanović and Ostapenko had some agro towards each other during the match. Tomljanović accused Ostapenko of faking an injury , calling her out to the umpire. Very frosty handshake at the end, with Ostapenko saying she has no class.

OK, this is better in terms of the serve for Felix. He can win at this standard.
EDIT: Nevermind, looks like Kyrgios is retiring at the end of the set.

FAA was a huge favorite in this match, like -600. Even after the first set that didn't drop much and now rapidly going back up to -600

This match is going to be over soon, no way Nick is in any shape to continue.

I mean he literally told the trainer he was going to finish the set and that would be it.

I have not been to Wimbledon but I know people who have gone, it's very posh and arrogant. About half the people are there because they are given corporate tickets and are just there to be seen.

Felix doesn’t have “mental problems”. He is a 20yr old male playing tennis against grown ass men who have lived. Give him time.

Roger has been horrible the last 40 minutes, decent chance he blows this.

Nah, he's pulled it out. I think he was originally just on cruise control but Norrie put his game together so he had to try.

Cilic up 2 sets to love now. Question do you consider Cilic an all time great? He obviously had one very good slam and made two other finals losing to Federer in both.

Depends on your definition of all-time great, but even in probably the broadest definition of all-time great he isn't that close. The minimum standard for all-time great, to me, is a multi-time major winner and reached #1. He's had a nice career, but he was also never a guy you feared running into in a major.

I think Cilic has had a better career than Del Po but if both players were playing at their peak I would bet on Del Po. Much like Murray and Wawrinka; Murray had a much better career than Wawrinka but if both players were playing at their absolute best I think Wawrinka is the better player.

I think in normal circumstances that's a fair barometer, but in the era of the big 3 the only players that meet that criteria are Murray and Hewitt. Guys like Roddick would certainly have more than one slam if not for them.
