Heather Watson through to round three beating Anastasija Sevastova the 18th seed.

Sabine - lovely

Cici Bellis crashed out on 3rd July against Azarenka 3-6 6-3-6-1 

Dreadful news

I may follow her on Instagram - can't remember 

But she's in action in the doubles tomorrow 

Johanna Konta has just beaten Donna Vekic after a mammoth match 7-6, 4-6, 10-8 lasting a bit over 3 hours.
Her opponent in the third round is Maria Sakkari who is ranked 101.

It's the first time since 1986 that 2 British women have got through to the third round.

Bad accident today ....poor girl 

Tennis...it's a load of balls 

During Wimbledon fortnight more than 54,000 tennis balls will be used

Grass is cut to a height of 8mm

There are 250 ball boys/girls

William Renshaw has won the Wimbledon title as many times as Sampras and Federer

The longest match was played in 2010 and lasted more than 11hours

Why am I rooting for Fognini??

Heather Watson goes out in three sets to Azarenko 

Cici Bellis WON her doubles yesterday

The march moves on - nice!!

Ostapenko  - a name to watch

She won Roland Garros this year , aged 20

She's very good and won today against Camila Giorgio  7-5 7-5

Camila Giorgi - shame she lost

I may rewatch her match

Thank God becoming a British citizen in 2012 hasn't ruined her ranking

Oh dear El Rolio

I can see why he doesn't  

Johanna Konta into the semi finals having beaten the number 2 seed Simona Halep 6-7, 7-6, 6-4. First British woman into the semis since Virginia Wade in 1978.

She has the chance to go all the way now El 

Rather an odd ending sadly

Halep seemed to stop as if the point should be replayed

Well done to both - shame someone has to lose

Well done Konta 

Murray out:

Murray Mint

Has ended his stint

Perhaps it seems he was hurt

He played on til the end

A title to defend

He probably slipped on his skirt

These epic poems have to end - it's just too much

Bimbles 

I know Federer is still in, but at this rate of attrition the winner of the men's singles is going to be someone we've never heard of before!

The Venus Williams/Johanna Konta semi final is the second match on Centre Court today. That's not the only match today involving British players. There are two mixed doubles quarter finals matches to see, There's the one which follows the semi finals on Centre Court where Jamie Murray and Martina Hingis, the number one seeds are playing Ken Skupski and Jocelyn Rae so it's certain that one or two British players will progress to the semis.

And the other one (court and time not yet decided) is between the number 10 seeds and the defending champions Henri Kontinen and Heather Watson. They aren't seeded but they make a very good duo and it's clear they enjoy their matches,

A final between Jamie Murray/Martina Hingis and Henri Kontinen/Heather Watson would be a must watch if they all get through.

After the disappointment of Johanna Konta losing to Venus Williams, well done to Henri Kontinen and Heather Watson for brightening up Centre Court and cheering up anyone who saw them.

With Jamie Murray and Martina Hingis winning their quarter final the possibility of them and Henri Kontinen and Heather Watson final is still on.

And it should be a must watch after the Men's final on Sunday as it could be the match of the tournament, even better than Henri's and Heather's semi which finished a short while ago. Jamie Murray and Martina Hingis are top doubles players but this tournament is the first time they've played as a pair. Henri Kontinen is also a top doubles player and is equal to them. Heather Watson isn't in their league as a doubles player but when she's with Henri Kontinen she's just as good as them and there is real tennis chemistry between them.

 

And it should be a must watch after the Men's final on Sunday as it could be the match of the tournament, e

.... .is the announcement of who's going to be the next Dr Who, surely?
