Why is Nadal so trash now?

I would love a Wimbledon semis of Murray, Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal. Well, there goes your semis hope, Nadal is out. |

It's hard to predict with this draw. Djokovic has the easier draw. But everybody has tough matches. Great run for Querrey.

Kerber and Wozniacki lost. The top seeded women are dropping like flys.

that's why I don't watch the women's anymore. It's one big mess with no consistency.

Why is Nadal so trash now? He isn't. Muller was incredible in that fifth set. |

Ostapenko's forehand is faster than that of every male player except Nadal, Del Potro and one other (forget who.)
Not doing her much good against Venus though!

Yeah, she is gone - but it looks like she put up a good fight though. I figure she has a bright future ahead of her. Garbine Muguruza also makes the semi-finals. At this point I would bet on a Muguruza vs V. Williams final, with the Basque-Venezuelan Spaniard winning her second Grand Slam title and first Wimbledon. |

They are missing a key thing when they post the score at the bottom of the screen. It should indicate how many breaks a person is up so that when you turn the TV on, you know the situation.
So
Konta 1
Halep 4+
Would indicate Halep up 1 break.
Konta 1
Halep 4++
Would means she's up 2 breaks.
You could do the same in tiebreakers.

But they have that yellow bar next to the server's name so you can easily figure it out.

I like Muguruza but I'd like her a Hell of a lot more if she didn't make so much fucking noise when she hits the ball. Jo Konta is another shrieker. Really puts me off. EDIT: It's Halep who's doing the shrieking, my mistake. |

Interesting tidbit about the Venus Williams vs Jelena Ostapenko match: Ostapenko was a two-week old baby when Venus Williams played her first Wimbledon match.

Yeah, you could still work backwards and figure it out, but I your method would give you the answer straight away

What the hell happened Murray? Is he injured?

What the hell happened Murray? Is he injured? Apparently. Eurosport is saying "Hampered Andy Murray taken to fifth set by Querrey in quarter-final". |

Murray's serve was really badly affected - it was down to 90mph (first serve.)
