Tennis ITF Wimbledon 2021

[MHSN 3,220]

Can they put the finals in the first day of the competition when the grass still looks good ? 

[Monzanator 3,595]

First upset is here. Petra Kvitova is out after losing to Sloane Stephens in two sets.

[Federer91 2,140]

Wimbledon is showing only on Eurosport 2 here, because of regional rights. And i'm sure they are deliberately choosing low-profile matches to show.  Like, out of everything going on you are choosing Begu-Volynets to show.. It's not so subtle tell "We have the rights, but if you want the good stuff, you have to pay for the Player"

Wow, despite losing first two sets and losing 0-5 in third Basilashvili returned and lead 6-5 in third against Murray! 

[rybak 2,694]

What a point at set point for Niko and he takes third set 7-5! 

[rybak 2,694]

So, after all Murray wins the match 3-1 (fourth set was played under closed roof due to darnkness). Good for him to win first match here, especially that it's his first Wimbledon since 2017

 

Also there was huge upset, not mentioned earlier, Tsitipatis lost to Tiafoe! 

[Makedonas 1,577]

I'm not surprised Tsitsipas lost. He played a lot lately so he clearly needs a break, and Tiafoe is a good opponent. Tsitsipas also hasn't really proven himself on grass courts yet.

 

Sakkari won easily 6-1 6-1 in 51 minutes. I hope she can go far here.

 

Also Serena Williams retired during her first round match so that's another big name on the WTA side out. I'm sure the semifinals will be something random as always like Kontaveit vs Putintseva and Pegula vs Martic 

[Monzanator 3,595]

Serena Williams just won't stiff arm Father Time no matter what her fans say. She and Federer will not win another GS again. Old age comes back to all of us, let alone professional athletes.

[Monzanator 3,595]

Jelena Ostapenko beats Daria Kasatkina in three sets for the second time in two weeks and advances into R3.

 

Paula Badosa vs Magda Linette in R3 as well.
