Brutal shots landed...

She was quite understanding with the (non) handshake at match over as well. Understood and didn't make a thing. Tory stooges in the crowd giving it the big-un. Oh the irony.

Feb 3 (Reuters) - Ukraine's Elina Svitolina said on Friday that the ban on Russian and Belarusian players competing at Wimbledon must continue after they were excluded from last year's championships.

She should have refused to play today given her stance

If only O'Sullivan had played tennis...

I used to love tennis, played it for years at a decent level, mate played for our Davis Cup team years ago, but I can’t really be arsed about it now. Probably age or generational but just can’t get interested anymore….sad really….

Tennis loss is water polo's gain...

 

[Rita_Poon]

So many injuries today, not even half way through the day and the retirements are in both sets of singles. Shame.

Bit of russki needle there, uncalled for it aint her with the machine guns.

The Pole Swiatek is a big supporter of the Ukrainian cause. She plays Svitolina next up.

Maybe she could see past her own ambitions and allow the Ukrainian through...or maybe her support is just token?

It's not often you say something that is genuinely stupid Dave, but this is one of the rare occasions

Why would she patronise her by voluntarily letting her advance like that? She'd be insulting her to do so

Great win for Djok.

But isn't giving cheer and pleasure to a people at war with an invasionary force and suffering horrendous loss of life and destruction more important than her winning Wimbledon?

Swiatek wears that Ukrainian ribbon on her kit all the time. Does she mean it or is she just doing it for show?

 

[davek]

Great win for Djok.

24 GS in the bag.

The Serbian is the GOAT.
