What's she done to you that makes you dislike her?

Her general attitude on court stinks, makes her unbearable.

Just because she was losing she started to complain about flying ants.

She's an unlikeable idiot.

She is quite fit though

The seedings in the women's draw (and to a lesser extent the men's) seems bonkers, there seem to be big-name clashes already in the 1st & 2nd rounds that would normally be left for the 2nd week. Some of these so-called shock exits come from people of comparable stature meeting earlier than normal.

Katie Boulter's easy on the eye. She could always replace Laura Robson as my favourate Brit.
But she's losing her 2nd round tie.

Just goes to show the depth of the Women's game atm, not all that strong at the top nowadays but the tour does have better depth.

Konta playing and losing to Cibulkova though for example, Cibulkova missed out on seeding because they gave a spot to Serena.

Kyle Edmund through plays Novak Djokovic next on Saturday, hopefully Wimbledon schedule it properly so it doesn't clash with the England game

I'd expect the bookies to close things up in the inevitability of a Williams victory now

Muguruza KO'd too.

Considering the Wimbledon quarter finals could clash with the World cup semi finals, and the Wimbledon final could clash with the World cup final, i doubt they care if they put the Edmund v Djokovic match slap bang in the middle of the England game. I suspect they will be either first or last on court meaning a 1pm start or a post 5pm start time though

Personally i think Wimbledon should have started a week later this year to avoid clashing with the World cup, we'll only lose a few minutes of daylight so i don't get why they schedule it like this

I think a lot o the way Wimbledon is scheduled has a lot to do with giving player enough time to recover and prepare for the lead up to US open at Flushing Meadows.
Fingers crossed Andy will be in a much better physical shape to handle five sets and play there but do worry if hard courts will put that little bit more of a strain on him.

Agreed she is very easy on the eye, I imagine her she's very good looking but also imagine she'd be very sexy & filthy on the phones too -
if she was on the channels (especially where new balls are concerned!)
