What an inspiration.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......

Jeremy Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 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.

womanofdulwich Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 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.

aquarius moon Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I haven't watched the early rounds of Wimbledon for years. Usually wait until the last half of 2nd week.Thanks for the heads-up. I think he plays again on Sat so will definitely switch him on!

Louisa Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Talking of Wimbledon I hope everyone will be watching Heather Watson playing Serena Williams today. This young lady has a great serve. Love a good upset at Wimbledon. Louisa.

Louisa Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 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.

Louisa Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Tim Henman has jumped on the ex- British sports personality bandwagon and been hosting his annual slot on the BBC now since retirement. I wonder when Eddie 'the eagle' Edwards will be joining Ski Sunday to offer his opinions? Louisa.

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.

Otta Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Lindsay Davenport1999 Wimbledon champion on BBC TV"It was a fantastic performance. She (Watson) showed everybody how much she has improved and how much she wants it. There's no shame in going down to possibly the greatest female player of all time."

Louisa Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Absolutely Otta. It's easy to be disappointed, but when you consider the experience and ranking gap between her and possibly the greatest player of all time it certainly puts today's very narrow defeat into perspective.

Great player. > > Louisa.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.
