They'll draw 10x the viewers for England than they will Nadal.

Also, each TSN channel represents a different region of the country for people who don't have a full cable package that gives all five.

Though... not having centre court online is pretty dumb.

Totally makes sense, but to have courts 12 & 18 online but not center Court is very strange.

Women's draw is even more wide open as Halep loses in 3 sets. Serena is now an even bigger favorite to win

Gulbis is driving Alex Zverev crazy with his drop shots.

Gulbis had Zverev on the ropes up 5-3 in set 3 serving and dropped four straight games.

Hsieh is such a funky player. Variety of shots. She made R16 in Melbourne and should have beaten Kerber. Her game is probably better on grass.

Gulbis and Zverev are going to a 5th and deciding set. Anybody's guess who will take this match, Gulbis had to go through qualifying to make the main draw, so he's got to be feeling it in his legs at this point.

Edit: Gulbis breaks Zverev to start the 5th set.

Gulbis is up two breaks in this 5th set. Playing some wonderful tennis with chips and dinks and Zverev has no answers.

Edit: Make it three breaks in this 5th set.

Man, I thought after Gulbis dropped that third set that he should have won, he was done like dinner. Great rally from Ernests.

Krygios is helping out the organizers.

Nishikori up 2 sets to love after taking the second set 7-6(3). Kyrgios gets a code warning for rocketing a ball out of court 1.

If Nishikori win his 4 matches at Wimbledon would have been against Harrison, Tomic, Krygios and Gulbis. All those players are bat#### crazy.

Since Gulbis' parents are very wealthy, Ernests should be called eccentric
