At this time of year I’m usually away from home sailing, and
as my wife is a Wimbledon addict I phone her each evening to ask how things are
going with the tennis.
Murray
Dimitrov
Andy Murray became Wimbledon champion last year, but today I
was able to watch him on live TV with my wife as he lost to Bulgarian
Grigor Dimitrov in three straight-sets. This was very disappointing, as we saw
him far from his best. When Murray serves well, he is a tricky customer, because he has a very strong defence and he’s probably the best player at
returning serves.
Federer
Now that Murray has been eliminated, I would like Roger
Federer to become Wimbledon champion for an eighth time, and today he progressed
by beating the Colombian Santiago Giraldo in three straight-sets.
Bouchard
Canadian Eugenie Bouchard overcame the German Angelique
Keber by winning two straight-sets, to earn her place in the semi-finials for a match against Rumanian Simona Halep.
