Carsten Ball's Wimbledon journey lasted all of 2 hours losing 2-6 0-6 6-3 6-7.

Interesting to note Wimbledon have replaced their old manual scoreboards on the back courts :( , and the graveyard court is no more
They don't keep me here because I'm gorgeous and 5'10

I thought the same too, but not all the courts, been watching some streams and most still have the manual scoreboards. I personally think they should have electronic for all courts.

That makes me happy again lol!

I like the manual ones because it adds to the old school charm of Wimbledon - yes, the place has been greatly modernised in the past 10-15 years, but you still have the white only uniforms, no advertising, manual scoreboards, old school uniforms for umpires etc.

That's wrong, I'm pretty sure she's been top 30, possibly top 20 even.

Still, a very bad loss, even if grass is her worst surface.

Groth just broke Oudin in the 2nd to lead 6-4 and 4-3 with groth serving!

Apparently an easy third round for groth against a specialist clay courter who somehow got through the first 2 rounds with an easy draw and then it's Venus Williams
