    Hard to say, a lot of the seeded players are getting punted out by randoms. Women's is wide open with no Williams. Wawrinka about to lose in straight sets to the world #97.

    Federer through to round 3. Would love to see him win it.

    When Djokvoic is launching his big serves, the pain is visibly shooting up his arm. There's no way around it for him - he has to use that part of his arm!



    Could this be why? Carrying an injury?

    His body is *, he is Novak in all but name.

    Not to say he can’t do a Rafa right enough in years to come.

    BBC breakfast just did their piece on it. They made a big thing about getting his friend, Tom, on the phone to speak about it:

    Tom, amazing stuff by Kyle, what a result!

    “Ehm, yeah, great news to wake up to”

    You didn’t stay up to watch it?

    “Nah it was at 3am this morning, I was asleep”

    Have you spoke to him yet?

    “Nope, I’m just up, I messaged him before the match yesterday though”

    What did you say to him?

    “...good luck.”

    Ok thanks for joining us Tom.

    Good timing for Edmund, tennis is crying out for a new wave of player to start reaching the tail end of Grand Slams.

    Think Cilic will be able to put Nadal out?
