I also not the "Miss" prefix seems to have been dropped in these championships. Don't tell me it's political correctness?

2019.

2019.

I give up!

I give up!

I had to check. I hadn’t noticed either.

Looks like Paolini is just going to come up short.

She’s now started quoting ‘Love’

Fucking hell what’s the Czech girl done to get such muted support. The upper middle classes massively favouring the Italian.

Edit Congratulations to her

Guessing maybe that the Italian lady was a qualifier?

Nope. 7 seed Italian I think v about 30th Czech. Only saw the end but felt sorry for her. Seems like a nice kid too

 

[BringBackSwales]

Maybe the Wimbledon crowd don’t like Central/Eastern Europeans? Always very lukewarm to the GOAT (Djokovic not Shaun)

Didn't realise she was a qualifier.
She was the 7th seed at Winbledon and was beaten in the French finals a few weeks ago.

She was No7 in the world and was French open finalist

She wasn’t a qualifier mate (was she?)

I don't think so.
Someone had previously posted she was

Centre court barely a third full for the men's doubles final.

Congratulations Alfie Hewitt Wimbledon Gentlemen’s Wheelchair Singles Champion. The only one he hadn’t won.
Well done, young man. :-)

 

[BringBackSwales]

Really hope Djokovic wins today. Not the most cuddly of people but an out and out winner and champion. Scandalously disrespected by the centre court upper middle class crowd. He will feed off their support for Alcaraz.

Could be watching this until tomorrow at this rate

Alcaraz breaks Djokovic in the first game.

Hoping it is a good day to be a Spaniard before the Euros final kicks off. ;-)

I was thinking this might be in danger of running into the Euros, but now I'm thinking Copa... ;-)

Hope Spain gets to cheer for this one early and that's it for the day.

Djokovic broken again, via double fault, of all things.

Not starting particularly well. He’s really struggling against Alcaraz’s aggressive backcourt play. Alcaraz seems to have him on the second serve, as he charges them when he sees Djokovic make a short toss.
