Berdych - Anderson seems to be an unavoidable draw... How many times is that this year?

The Gym exploded when Robson won! Great play from her and shows what sort of amazing character she has. Full credit to her, brilliant stuff.

So pleased that Robson managed to win after all.

Well done Tomic, but sad that Gasquet lost.

Home at last.....pimms and Tommy Haas!

and lovely Feliciano as well!!!!

I think we worked out it was the 5th time this year, and a further 4 times last year. Unfortunately I think it's 9-0 to Berdych, because they are the same style; Berdych just a bit better at everything though.

This is going to be a rout.

I'm enjoying Feliciano-Haas...two players not afraid to S&V or to chip and charge.
 

go dolgo! breaks when ferrer serves for the set again!!!

and that broken straight back break back dolgo!!!

I can see Serena and KDK being moved to Centre the way stuff on 1 is going.

I wonder what they're going to do about Williams/Date Krumm. Court 1 looks the least likely place you'd get on tonight, but surely you can't have just 1 match outstanding from all the 3rd Round matches.

Really BBC? Dolgopolo? Would it take up so much room on the screen to add the "v"?

The sensible thing is to play it after Nole on Centre. You have to 11 on that court. I can't see play finishing by 8 on Court 1. Even more important to get it done since no play tomorrow.

dolgo is the best to watch!

Booo!!! Go on Daveed!!

damn! 1-1

You could make a drinking game (soft drinks only) out of Wimbledon commentary.

One sip for every time:

Daveed Ferrer is called a "warrior", "never gives up"
We're told Tommy Haas is 35 years old.

etc etc.

thats a great idea.
the official wimbledon drinking game....

When we're told how many people are watching in China.
People slip

How old Kimiko Date Krumm is.

42 i think.

dolgo 4-1 up! WAHOO!

It's amazing for a man of Chardy's height with his serve that he has 0 ways of hurting Djokovic.

5-1

Who is this American doing the Li Na/Zakopalova commentary? Getting on my nerves. I think he's the eejit that didn't realise Shvedova's golden set until after it had happened.

Was he the same guy who was doing Gulbis/Verdasco with Fred Stolle earlier? He must be a World Feed/ESPN guy - Doug Adler.

I'm just back for work so no idea. He seems only able to speak in hyperbole and cliche.

When Djokovic is even volleying well against you, you know you're in trouble.

Judging by your comments, and the general reaction to him on Twitter today, I "think" its him. He also commentated on the Li Na match, but with someone else - but think its him.

Sue says Ferrer is fighting hard!

Verdasco to take Djokovic out in three brutal sets.

Is that a more violent version of the game?

What is Robson wearing? It's like she's got 3 or 4 different tops on with a hole on the middle of the back

I'm calling 999 then.

oh hey snitchy

I'd pay money to watch Dolgopolov. Refreshing.

Wow from Nole!

Serena/KDK are moving to Centre.

Djokovic has taken Service Return to all new level, some of his returns are alien level, yes I have seen, Agassi, Sampras, Federer, Nadal and Murray but Djoko is another level in this aspect.  

That was really good from Djokovic BUT Federer played that well against Hanescu and lost in the next round. These performances are wonderful to watch but they meaning nothing after the match is finished, unless such a performance was in the final of course.

dolgo

Time to cheer on Krumm

And the Brits win at mixed doubles! Inglot and Konta put out Torro-Florr and TSJ's favourite Spaniard 19-17 in the final set.

Agreed.

Surprised to see Paire lost to Kubot. Opportunity missed there.

Well done Peter Colt!!

That section of the draw is amazing isn't it. Winner of Kubot/Mannarino to play Janowicz/Melzer in the quarters. This was supposed to be the tough Fedal quarter.

KDK's serve is from the Steffi Graf era....Serena's service return is from the modern era.
 

I don't want to watch KDK v Serena. I have nothing but admiration for KDK however watching her get pulverised on the main stage is not my idea of Saturday night entertainment. Where's that waste of space Zvonareva when you need her?
