Lleyton being a dick. That might fire him up a bit, needs it. Down 0-2.

I think Hewitt will struggle now. Wawrinka striking the ball very well at the moment

I think Hewitt will have to hope Wawrinka goes off the boil at some point in the next few sets, and maybe even hope for play to stop, and hope the pause unsettles Wawrinka.
How good is this
Rafa did the same thing when he lost to ferrer at the aus open a couple years ago when he was clearly injured. He should have pulled out but kept playing because he didn't want his mates first QF to be a hollow one.. Then did the same thing to the media.. Seems like a great respectful bloke/champion
Awesome game Lleyton. Didn't do much wrong out there. Sad feeling that we won't get to see Wawrinka hitting down the line with those orgasmatic backhands 
Also Ana in white, still sexy as ever

Huge win 
That last game was a rollercoaster. I wouldn't have fancied him serving for it if he didn't break.
Only the British could do something as stupid as start play 2 hours later on the main courts. It's ridiculous to have 3 straight setters and they are playing in the dark to finish the last match. The Darcis and Nadal match would have went longer than expected but on the flip side the Hewitt and Wawrinka match had a 5 setter all over it and was closed out in 3. It's just really ordinary scheduling, going to be even worse when it rains.

Wow I'm wrecked after that . Well done Rusty surprised how well he did and has a decent draw now.

He's a freak and the GOAT though so it's expected.
Just got up and checked the Hewitt-Wawrinka match score. 11 UEs and 32 winners for Rusty - he must have been absolutely on fire.
With Nadal out, that gives him a path to the QFs of Brown, Isner, Kubot/Paire/Darcis. Very doable.
EDIT: lol, just heard Nadal saying after the match that it's 'not the right time' to talk about his knees. Good news, sounds like he is still undefeated while fit.

Wow just saw the overnight results. What happened with Nadal was he struggling with his knee during the match? I checked the paper all it said was he played poorly and refused to talk about his knee afterwards.
I didn't think he played THAT badly. He is always a bit wonky in the first week of Wimbledon, when the courts are still fast and he hasn't adapted to the surface. He seems unsteadier on his feet these days, off clay.
Darcis played a very good match. Attacking tennis, lots of S&V.

Managed to get in to Court 1 for the Hewitt/Wawrinka match... Lets just say I'm a happy man Pretty awesome day, hard not to get excited about lleytons draw now.
I'll write more of report when I get back but Matosevic has gone full blown mug status, his attitude in the first set astounded me. Reid has top 100 potential but needs to build on his ground game. And Nadal? Wow, I guess we'll see him South America next year
