He probably doesn't need to be a top ten player on grass to beat Del Potro right now lol. He's made the quarters the last two years, losing to Roger after winning the first set and losing the second in a tiebreak, and losing to Gasquet in five sets in one of the better matches last year (11-9 in the fifth). I think you're underestimating him. If Stan has an off day though, who knows, but I doubt it.
Rough opener for her. What's she ranked these days?
Between 59 and 72 after Wimbledon.
Ouch. Not a great year for her.

Willis is like: slice slice slice slice slice slice slice slice slice lol
I hope he at least gets on the board in this set lol. Seems like a good guy.
Well, never mind ._.

Despite unsurprisingly getting completely thrashed this guy has most definitely got talent, the right training and could have been a quality player

Before the match that was probably the expected result

Thanks to the weather delays there will be many 3 day matches. Possibly 4 day matches. Will they finish the entire first round by middle sunday? maybe not!

Bencic played exceptionally well to beat Pironkova 6-2, 6-3 on her first ever match on Centre Court. She said "It is going to be my court soon [I hope]" in the after match interview. If she keeps playing like that, perhaps very soon indeed. Great to see her properly recovered from her injuries, moving well and enjoying the game again.
Outside Centre though, another rough day with the rain. Annika Beck took a nasty fall, hurting her ankle, immediately after telling the umpire the court was dangerous to play on. Not good. Heather Watson had completely collapsed and lost 7 games in a row, but can rest overnight now.
Good to see the organisers decided to move Bouchard and Rybarikova to Centre to finish their match, but with 6 men's first rounds and 8 more women's first rounds still to finish on day 4 the schedule is wrecked now.

Marcus Willis was nicknamed "Cartman" on the challengers circuit. He would even eat candybars and drink sodas on the changeovers. It would have been even more badass if he lit up a fag, but smoking isn't allowed indoors lol

The commentator's exasperation is great. What the fuck was Willis doing? They did say today that he lost 4 stone.
Yeah that caught me by surprise and I almost missed it after checking on and off all day...but she won.She will have to play much better against Konta though if she wants to move on...

To a qualifier no less. Not to mention Mugurutha made it to the finals here last year
Maybe he's starting to play well since he he has almost no expectations. His supporters have kinda lost hope so now he has no pressure and is playing well.
It's either the #2 curse or the post slam slump. Or both.

She had too much bad juju working against her
I would say both now lol...Muguruza out...biggest upset yet I believe.

Thiem just lost a second tiebreak to go down 2-0.
Was this before or after the rolled ankle? That looked nasty.
