Looks like Halep doesn't want to be #1.

I like the Guardian's description of that last point:

quote:

During the final rally, one of the thousands of morons in the crowd at Centre Court each day unleashed a shrill, piercing scream that prompted Simona Halep to stop playing. She lost the point, but didn’t make a big deal of it.

Halep should've played to the whistle, but that's a garbage thing to do and an unfortunate ending to a good match. Probably a Konta/Muguruza final then? I didn't think Venus was that impressive today, served herself out of trouble when she needed to and let Ostapenko error herself out of the tournament. Konta's steadier in the rallies than Ostapenko and will force Venus to run and play some extra shots. And she has a very good serve as well, plus the crowd factor.

He could've won this in three if he hadn't choked away that second set, was playing well up to that point. I guess he's hobbled by the hip injury now.

Murray said he had a dodgy hip and we didn't believe him. It's pretty clear he isn't moving right and it's a shame.

Good for Big Sam, following up on what he did last year.

It's probably better for him to play Djokovic in the semis rather than the final in that sense... I thought he was visibly nervous in those two finals in 2015. Although I imagine winning in Australia this year has probably taken a lot of that pressure off either way.

edit: Raonic is getting schooled.

In Berdy's last twelve matches against Djokovic he's won two sets. Oh.

Federer is dealing with Raonic's serve really well.

Berdych has somehow taken a set off Djokovic.
