Nice to see Heather Watson through to round three

johanna konta's f.a.f!

I don't think Murray expects to reach the final this year, and I think he could be knocked out by Dustin Brown who is a fabulous player and great to watch. If Murray beats Brown then his pay cheque will be bigger, but I'm guessing he will be out in the third round.

^^ I've actually backed Murray to reach the final against in my opinion, Federer.

Assuming Murray defeats Brown - a very talented grass-court player agreed - but for whom the world number one should still have too much, he will play either Vesely or Fognini. Andy should be very confident of defeating either of those. Sure, he's got a poor recent record against Fognini, but those recent defeats to the Italian were on clay and Murray, backed by the home crowd and having a wealth of pedigree on the green stuff, should be too good. A possible very winnable fourth round against in all probability Lucas Pouille follows.

The first real danger for me will come in the quarter-finals against probably Tsonga. That might be tricky but Murray's good record against the Frenchman, especially here, should see him through to the semi final against Nadal.

It's panning out to be an interesting draw so far.

Is anyone else finding the umpire in the Konta - Vekic match really annoying.. with his 'Lourve'

Jo Konta has beaten Donna Vekic 7-6 4-6 10-8

Has anybody seen Any Foot Medical Timeouts for any of the Ladies.

The Centre Court spectators certainly got their money's worth today with Jo Konta's match

^ Yes, repaired some of the damage done by yesterday's two withdrawals (Klizan and Dolgopolov) on Centre Court.

Doesn't help the people who felt short changed yesterday though.

Thank goodness.
It's not just me that thinks that then
