Serena and Maria are in the same draw. They could meet in the semi finals.

Interesting that after Novak's comments regarding communicating with the coaching staffs during a match, Serena was admonished for a comment she made to her team during the match.

Some good matches coming up next round in the men's. All the big players seem comfortable.

The granddaughter and niece of two ex-Knicks players called Melo soft in an interview after upsetting Karolina Pliskova. Ouch.

Wow, shocker at Wimbledon

Heather Watson is giving Serena all she wants. I was surprised to see Heather is mixed. Tied a set a piece.

I think the crowd is playing a part, it's all Watson. That may be getting to Serena.

Serena down 3 games 0 3rd set.....Looks like a upset in the making

Serena came though in a very tough match. Just when you think she's done she reaches back and finds another gear.

I think the crowd played a part in the match. It was pro Watson. Serena spoke to the chair at one point asking him to ask the crowd to be quiet during play.

Looks like Serena vs Venus. Richard said long ago when Venus was doing most of the winning, Serena was the better player.

I didn't watch the entire match between Nadal and Brown but was surprised by the result 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 Brown. I thought Brown's drop shots would cause his undoing but they did just the opposite.

Compton's finest gotta face Compton's finest on Monday.

Great match today. Serena is slowing down but she's still bad ass.

Sam Groth with the 147 mph serve, second fastest at wimbledon ever. Comes in a loss to Federer in 4 sets.

Serena seems to be setting the stage for Venus advancing by her various comments.

She has never liked playing against her, I have a feeling she allows Venus to advance this time around.

It seems as though Serena beat Venus with ease 6 4, 6 3. I didn't see the match. 4:00am PST is too early for me.

With Serena chasing the calendar slam I had a feeling she'd win but not with such ease.

I'd imagine with the win a lot of pressure has been relieved. Hope she doesn't relax and blow the next match.

I didn't see it either but I was listening to some commentary and they said Serena looked sharp. That's great to hear because her next two opponents are Azarenka and most likely Sharapova. I hope she Serena Smashes both of them. Both of their draws were a joke.

Watching Federer now. He looks good and it looks like Giles Simon is going to take out Berdych for him.

I have Directv I sometimes watch on 701. It's split screen usually 3 or 4 matches at one time.

Right now they're airing Federer vs Agut, Djokovic vs Anderson and 3 doubls matches.

Anderson's up on Djo 7 6, 3 1
