Big shock in the women's draw today. Simona Halep beaten by Cepelova. I didn't see that one coming at all. Kvitova's route to the final just got a lot more straightforward.

Genie Bouchard lost to qualifier Duan Ying Ying, which should also be a shock, but given Bouchard's results lately I think a lot of people predicted that one. She'll now drop out of the top 20.

Good news for the Brits, with Murray through in straight sets, and a great win for Heather Watson over 32 seed Caroline Garcia.

Hopefully she will be back, she was becoming the new face of the game last year - and made it to the Singapore End of Year WTA Finals.
The WTA tour has become almost unwatchable with one woman dominating everything.

Duan Ying Ying could be the next Li Na. Not saying she will be, but she could be.

What's funny is Cliff Richard only had two real hit songs in the U.S. in his entire career, and the bigger of the two hits ("We Don't Talk Anymore", 1979) I believe wasn't even a single/a hit in Great Britain.

Nadal is being taken out by some black guy with tongue ring.

Cool Runnings came to Wimbledon today. What a fantastic game of tennis it was between Nadal & Dustin Brown. Old school serve & volley won against Nadal's baseline and max rpm game.

4 years running now Nadal has lost to a player outside the top 100 at Wimbledon.

Not a total surprise, Nadal going out in the 1st week at Wimbledon, and Dustin Brown is an unpredictable and dangerous opponent for anyone.
Federer in the meantime is into the 3rd Round against big serving Aussie, Sam Groth.
Would be absolutely over the moon if Sam can spring an upset.

Well, Nadal can start training for US Open a little early.
