Cant see a thread anywhere, for such a massive sporting event !!

Sharapova up soon....

Wozniacki through in straight sets, Serena through after a slight struggle 2-1.

Big shock in the womens event with the well fancied Samantha Stosur who went well at Eastbourne getting absolutely smashed by Melinda Czink, currently 3-6 1-4.

Does anyone really give a hoot about Wimbledon?

The BBC seem to think it's the most important sporting event in the world behind the Olympics, Football and Rugby Union world cups. I was nearly sick on my weetabix when I heard that this morning. I hate tennis.

You don't wanna do that, it won't make it taste any better.

Ooh... didnt realise all the negativity over such a great sporting event !!

Oh well, rain ruined much of the afternoon, but play is about to begin now. Heather Watson and Laura Robson flying the flag for the Brits today, along with Andy Murray later on.

Top totty trio (Sharapova, Ivanovic & Wozniacki) all through last night.

I love it mate. I'm a a big tennis fan and for me it doesn't come much bigger than this. Just sat through 3 hours of Date-Krum v Williams, brilliant match. Quality of tennis was up there with the best, be hard for a match to beat that.

Heather Watson playing really well here, I hope her and Laura Robson make it because it's criminal the best ladies player we have is Baltacha.

Can't watch Nadal. Picks his arse too much and puts me off me tea.

Great win for Laura Robson, sets up a great clash with Maria Sharapova tomorrow.

She played really well tonight, very impressed. That game to set up a tie break and the last set where brilliant, she'll struggle to cope with Sharapova tomorrow but she'll give her a game if she plays like tonight.

She's a media dream her, bizarre dress sense (what was with those socks) and she loves a good moan too
