Carsten Ball's Wimbledon journey lasted all of 2 hours losing 2-6 0-6 6-3 6-7.

Interesting to note Wimbledon have replaced their old manual scoreboards on the back courts , and the graveyard court is no more

I thought the same too, but not all the courts, been watching some streams and most still have the manual scoreboards. I personally think they should have electronic for all courts.

That makes me happy again lol!

I like the manual ones because it adds to the old school charm of Wimbledon - yes, the place has been greatly modernised in the past 10-15 years, but you still have the white only uniforms, no advertising, manual scoreboards, old school uniforms for umpires etc.

Stosur broken in the first game vs a qualifier (highest ever ranking 80)

Stosur loses first set 4-6 to Kapeni

Stosur GONE 4-6, 4-6

That's wrong, I'm pretty sure she's been top 30, possibly top 20 even.

Still, a very bad loss, even if grass is her worst surface.

Most of our commentators have been champions of the game and yet it's staggering how many stupid and completely incorrect things they say.

37-37 in the 5th between Isner and Mahut.

Groth just broke Oudin in the 2nd to lead 6-4 and 4-3 with groth serving!

Apparently an easy third round for groth against a specialist clay courter who somehow got through the first 2 rounds with an easy draw and then it's Venus Williams

41 all now in Isners match

43 all.

Isner leading 48-47.

Lleyton won through second round.

6-4, 6-4, 3-0 the other dude retired.

50 all in the fifth !!

Far out. Thats unbelievable. I'm switching over. How long has the match gone for?

Almost 9 hours. Final set gone 6 hours.

Longest 5th set in Tennis History !!!
