So glad Berrettini won! I really like him a lot.

That's one of the things I don't like is when/how he celebrates.

Berrettini is fine.

I have been watching the Eastbourne women's tournament. Camila Giorgi beat the defending champion (from 2019), Karolina Pliskova in the first round.

I have been watching it too.

I like both Giorgi and Pliskova, but Pliskova is my favorite on the women's side. She just cannot get over the hump at times.

I like Pliskova and Giorgi too. Hopefully they will both do well at Wimbledon.

I've been watching some of the qualifying for Wimbledon. I hope Kateryna Bondarenko gets through.

Giorgi won today against Sabalenka in the Eastbourne International.

It was a good match.

Here is the latest update from the tour.

First of all in Eastbourne, Alex De Minaur won the men's singles title and Jelena Ostapenko won the women's singles title.

In Mallorca, Daniil Medvedev defeated Sam Querrey 6-4, 6-2 to win the Mallorca Championship.

Also in Bad Homburg, Angelique Kerber defeated Katerina Siniakova 6-3, 6-2 to win the Bad Homburg Open.

Meanwhile in the previous week's events; Ugo Humbert won the Noventi Open, Marin Cilic won the cinch Championships, Jasmine Paolini won the title at Bol, Croatia, Ons Jabeur won the Viking Classic Birmingham and Liudmilla Samsonova won the Bett1 Open.

So that's the latest update from the tour. Next up on the schedule will be the long awaited return of Wimbledon. I am so that the Championships is almost here. Here are the men's and ladies' singles draws.

Thanks for the news, Rod. I'm very much looking forward to Wimbledon.

I just read that Nick Kyrgios and Venus Williams will be pairing up for the mixed doubles. That should be interesting.

Here is the first update from Wimbledon.

First of all, Nole got his quest to three peat underway and he had a struggle against hometown favorite Jack Draper, but came through with a 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. 6-2.



We already got a couple of upsets as Frances Tiafoe defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 and Sloane Stephens defeated Petra Kvitova 6-3, 6-4.





Things were more orderly in the other matches as Arya Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Garbine Muguruza, Madison Keys and Sofia Kenin won their matches in straight sets, while Andrey Rublev defeated Federico Delbonis 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2.

So that's the update from the early matches at the All England Club. In a couple of matches in progress; Andy Murray is leading Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-4, 6-3 and Diego Schwartzman is leading Benoit Paire 3-2.

I cannot believe Andy lost that third set!

I am very disappointed in Stefano going out in the first round.

And, what a first round match between Sloane and Petra.

Nice that Murray won that match in 4 sets. Tough if you're a fan of Serena Williams fan. She only ccompeted in 6 games in her match vs. Aliaksandra Sasnovich today. The winner of Nao/Per a will play Sasnovich in round 2. Most of the women in this draw I have not that I recall even heard of before. At least in this section where Sasnovich is playing in."Ellen Perez", "Clara Burel", "Ana Konjuh", "Kaja Juvan". Have you watched any of those play yet? None of them are seeded on this tournament by the way.

Thanks for the update, Rod.

I'm pleased that Murray won his match. Weird 3rd set.

I'm sad that Tsitsipas lost.

No, Matt. I haven't seen those women play yet.

1st round matches are still being played because of the rain delays. Alize Cornet just beat Bianca Andreescu.
