    Yes nice story, not least that his previous winning this year reported to be £50, and he is guaranteed £50K if he loses.

    His career earnings to date are $92k, today he wins $60k even if he loses, quite a jump.

    Although there is no English involvement at quarter finals stage of Wimbledon.

    £50? Hardly worth bothering to turn up, especially now that the pound has plummeted.

    Willis made a half-decent fist of it in the end. Still looks a bit on the heavy side though. It's a day he won't forget.

    It seems I undervalued his earnings, which was more like $220 which £164, so much wealthy than I had given him credit for. He seems to have benefited from Brexit:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Your time would be better employed learning footballers names.

    Womens second seed Garbiñe Muguruza has just been knocked out of Wimbledon by world number 124 Jana Cepelova.

    Oh aye. Eugenie Bouchard looks like she's gone out on court in a negligee.

    New balls please!

    Your time would be better spent reading up on 'Hull City, the missing years......'
    And for the record I pride myself on being able to name all the Hull City squad, as for fringe Arsenal players? Frankly, I couldn't give a damn.

    Womens tennis is like a void at the moment. I reckon Serena will win this at a canter and she must be about 34-35 now

    Stone or tons ? Margaret Court (Smith) was in the crowd for the Bouchard game today. Great era for women's tennis that.
