Maybe we should root for an Italy win on Tuesday over Spain to see Berrettini overindulge on cannoli and grappa prior to Wednesday's match.

Shapo up to #10 in the world and Felix up to a career high #14. They are also the 1st and 3rd highest ranked players outside of Europe. Diego Schwartzman is the #2 ranked player outside of Europe at #11.

Medvedev match will finish tomorrow, despite the fact that Center Court is available for another two hrs. WTF Wimbledon.

I guess you could say they're not Russian to complete that match. In fact, they have a Pole stuck up their butt.

Wimbledon is stupid?

I mean the fact that Medvedev, the 2nd seed, wasn't on one of the top two courts today is wrong. Coco vs Kerber on Center Court? Should have been the British girl on Center Court, then Medvedev on Court 1. And why can they only put 3 matches on a court?

No men play tomorrow so they have Medvedev starting on Center Court tomorrow, why not just put him out there now. They are cheating for Roger.

It's not Federers fault for Wimbledon scheduling.

You can only put 3 matches on a court. Why put Djokovic and Garin on CC? Garin is a clay counter who has -100% chance of winning. Djokovic will be on CC later, why waste him. Medvedev is #2 and hasn't played on CC at all yet. This was the chance to put him on because he could lose and not get another chance. But worse, he's not even on Court 1. They throw him on an uncovered court with rain in the forecast and then don't let him finish.

I think with Djokovic already being on court 1 earlier they couldn't justify having him there twice yet Federer playing every match on Center.

Only three mens matches and three womens matches can be on center and court 1 per day. Whereas US and Australia it's 5 and 5. And the French will get there eventually.

Wimbledon always runs into scheduling problems. The roofs help now and next year they'll finally play on Sunday.

I remember two years ago the media was mad Nadal got Center Court over Ash Barty at Wimbledon and asked him about it......

Nadal's English is better than mine. I don't know what polemic means.

Polemic:

A polemic is a very strong written or spoken attack on, or defence of, a particular belief or opinion.

Ommbelivable no?

Watching Golubic with a one handed backhand, you almost never see a female tennis player use it.

I mean does it really matter in the end? Novak is winning this with ease so the rest is just for prize money places.

I'd at least like to see interesting matches. Federer vs Medvedev is an interesting match. Federer vs Hurcaz will finish 6-4,6-2,6-3 for Federer with no drama.

I don't know NF, the Djoker - Medvedev Aussie Open final wasn't very interesting. Hurkacz can bomb the serve, I think Fed will have has hands full with the young guy from Poland.
