He played well against an out of sorts Rafa. By doing so he won more money than he had done all year. He is 30. He will probably lose his next match and never be heard of again......

I'd actually heard of him before... remember him playing in Wimbledon a couple of years ago. Walking onto the court with his dreads and headphones he looked every inch the coolest man in tennis.


But alas, Alan is right - the match says more about Rafa's decline.

He was a pleasure to watch.So enjoyable to see a different style of tennis. I know Nadal was not in best form but don't take it away from Brown as he was "in the zone".He is enthralling.Nadal may have to consider getting some help other than uncle Tony.

Otta here's the order of play for today-


Centre Court (13:00 start)

Grigor Dimitrov (Bul) v Richard Gasquet (Fra),

Novak Djokovic (Ser) v Bernard Tomic (Aus),

Serena Williams (USA) v Heather Watson (Gbr)


I would guess from that lineup it's going to be late afternoon/early evening.

I agree. Serve and volley is the way to play on grass.I spent all of my youth playing on grass and always loved it much more than any other surface.

I think it used to be the case in women's tennis in particular that if you were going to be a top player you would have done so by the age of 23, if not several year's younger. I loved how HW played and I don't think she choked in the last set even if she was 3-0 up. Williams was lucky to get through and at 33 she is probably over the hill tennis wise. She plays her sister next and she's 35. Given the quality of Watson's game I really hope she climbs up the rankings. So much of the game at that level is to do with controlling what's between the ears.

    • So, on Saturday, we suddenly had a leak through on to our bedroom ceiling, with water falling onto our bed. In a panic, we messaged friends to try to find a reliable plumber who would be able to help. My oh my, did we need help. One of our friends suggested Nico; she had been a client of his for a while and recommended him very highly. Nico was unable to come during the day but said that he would visit our home in the evening. The flow of water had stopped but we kept our fingers crossed that he would turn up and that he was affordable. Nico arrived just when he said that he would, climbed up into the loft and then he explained what he was going to do and why. We agreed, the source of the leak was sorted and he gave us advice about how we could make sure that it was unlikely to happen again.  The price of the work was totally reasonable and we are genuinely grateful for his intervention. We intend to use him again and would always recommend him. Aside from his highly professional behaviour, his social skills are outstanding, he is a kind and thoughtful man. Dear Nico, thank you.
    • Are there any Physical Activity (Bronze) approved providers near East Dulwich? Any ideas would be highly appreciated!      
    • The failure of the council year on year to prevent the corporate take-over of our precious public space is appalling. The consultation process this year is deliberately dumbed down and takes the form of a survey with a range of anodyne tick boxes designed to give the appearance of a 'consultation' without requiring any hard comment or information that could be used to oppose the survey.  It may be possible to get some answers from Gala themselves so I will try to do that and post here if anything forthcoming.
    • Avoid Acorn at all cost. Appalling service in every regard. We were involved in a sale and they repeatedly made procedural errors that delayed, and almost tanked, the sale. As buyers, they knew literally nothing about the property and were unable to answer even the most basic questions. Instead they simply lied rather than saying they didn’t know any information which caused issue in the long run. I hear only positive things about Truepenny’s.
