Yeah, it’s bought me back to tennis after years in the wilderness.

I was brought up with tennis & played almost every day (county coaching level).
Bjorg & Lendl hero’s as a kid. Dad ‘encouraged it’ (he died when I was young) & it was just at a local working class club (played with mates till dusk, red faced).

It’s a bit of an elite sport I feel but it’s both amazing to watch & play.
I got my eldest daughter into them started playing again (and became better than I ever was as a kid),

Sport can be incredible.

I hope she’s looked after now that she’s pure spotlight.

Some being very harsh on fernandes. She’s a kid ffs. This place is full of miserable, boring cunts. (Me included usually :))

They really are kids. Lesson to be learned here for us who watch team sports where they are brought gradually into a team. Kids they are

A rise of 127 places in the rankings on monday, up to 23rd.

338th before Wimbledon, just 76 days ago. There are rises and then there's that.

I've no doubt that her finishing her studies probably masked how good she really was and the pandemic but nobody could have seen that.

The pandemic slowed her rise down a bit.

I’ve not even followed the men’s but assume Djokovic is in the final against somebody.

Djokovic Mededev- will be a cracking final.

Djokovic to win and have the most majors ever- legend.

Yeah the pandemic too of course, without all that she probably would have rose quicker but this feels like perfect timing for her.

Have Liverpool claimed her yet?

Its neck and neck between them and united.

Il'l bet @snorky enjoyed that match

These are her results from qualifying to today. It’s one thing to have never dropped a set, but look at the utter domination. Not even one tie break. Madness. And her worst 1st set was a 6-3. Fast starter!!

6-1 6-2
6-3 7-5
6-1 6-4
6-2 6-3
6-2 6-4
6-0 6-1
6-2 6-1
6-3 6-4
6-1 6-4

Lots of 6-1s in there.

I reckon she’s a blue.

Qualifying and not loosing a set and wining an major probably counteracts the pandemic bullocks, she’s set for life
