Tsonga the stronger in Isner marathon, Kyrgios books Murray meeting

“To play on Sunday, on this Centre Court, I think it is very special”, Berdych, 30, said in a court-side interview. I’m just looking forward to go out there. This is the first time she’s been seeded at a Grand Slam.

The Scot has won the previous three, with his only lost set coming at the US Open last summer, but Kyrgios did manage a win over his rival at the Hopman Cup in January. She won 24 of the last 28 points overall.

Tsonga reacted to the crisis by belting the ball out of Court Two to calm his nerves and went on to stay alive with a forehand victor before winning the next two points.

As the three-times former Wimbledon champion John McEnroe said: “To me, it’s insane that they don’t have a tiebreaker at every major – at 6-all”, and Isner agreed. “I had no idea”.

She’s now 300-42, an.

Russia’s Elena Vesnina made the fourth round by beating U.S. qualifier Julia Boserup, the world number 225, 7-5, 7-5.

Yes, thanks to sun on Sunday, the tournament is all caught up after persistent rain left a backlog of matches. All fourth round matches in both draws will be played on Monday [4 July] as the tournament schedule recovers following a week of inclement conditions.

On the other three occasions – 1991, 1997, 2004 – fans lined up overnight to buy tickets that normally are so hard, and expensive, to come by, creating a loud festival of flag-waving, face-painted folks thrilled to be on-site for once. At the same time, it’s good for the crowd and for the people around, for the story.

When asked if he thought about his marathon match against Mahut while playing today, Isner said.

If anything, this middle Sunday was oddly subdued.

“Strange feeling, a little bit”, said No. 7 Richard Gasquet, who helped give France four men in the round of 16 at Wimbledon for the first time since 1929, “because…” “The most important thing today was to win and continue”.

Gasquet, who reached the semi-finals past year as he did in 2007, could face compatriot Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the last 16 if he beats American John Isner.

Tsonga entered this match with a 14-7 career mark in five-setters, while Isner was only 6-14.

“Hope I will have a good recovery from this one and be fit to play tomorrow”, said Tsonga, who has a 6-0 record in five-set matches at Wimbledon.

Isner led the 12th seeded Tsonga two sets to one on Saturday before their match was suspended due to fading light.

The 15th seed returned to Court One on middle Sunday to finish off a 6-3 6-7 (2/7) 6-3 6-4 victory over Feliciano Lopez and will play for the fourth day in a row.

Kyrgios came through with a 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 triumph and admits world number two Murray is now the favourite for the title following defending champion Novak Djokovic’s shock defeat to American Sam Querrey yesterday. “Sometimes it’s better for the body”.
