Wimbledon 2024

Raducanu was excellent today. Her serve and return of serve both went up a notch from the erratic performance of two days ago. She found some great angles on her ground strokes. You could see the confidence growing with each game as she smiled throughout. Still some way to go but there were glimpses of her best form.
Sonay Kartal was the first British woman to win today and will play Gauf in the next round.

The aggression is the Key, She played on the front foot and attacked at will, Controlled Anger will win her Wimbledon because she has the talent and skill

She certainly played on the front foot. Give her a year and we will see, demons permitting.
 
I think Sinner is the man to beat this year. Despite being beaten by Alcaraz in the French open semis, he has been superb all year and has the game for Wimbledon. Not that Alcaraz doesn't, of course - he is the defending champion after all, but I just fancy Sinner to win this year.

Look at all those empty green seats. If they were blue and it was Manchester then it looks like City.

and yet there was thousands and thousands milling around outside the small courts just trying to get a glimpse of any match.
Huge queues for £12 pimms, huge queues to go for a piss.

Normally they have resale tickets for centre court and number 1, you queue for them of course.

This year they made everyone download an app (which was a pain with signal issues) then they said it will ping you when they have your resale ticket. that never happened.

whole thing is a shambles and they let in way too many people.
 
Years ago they used to have a tournament at the Northern tennis club in West Didsbury every summer, not long before Wimbledon.

Might still do for all I know.

Some players used to use it as a warm up for Wimbledon.

Saw some big names down there over the years. McEnroe, Edberg, Sampras, Connors and loads of others.
 
There was something in Nottingham recently that would be fine. I’d go to London ok but it’s the cost of everything there.

We done them in their first top flight game. 4-1 IIRC. Best memory playing them was when Andy Morrison got sent off for trying to snog one of theirs in the FA cup game when they played at Selhurst park.

I think he licked the Wimbledon players nose (John Fashanu?) and got hit - he got sent off and no action against the Wimbledon player
 
Had to switch off. On Monday it was David Bloody Beckham on every few mins today it Sebastian self righteous Coe. FFS.

Fair play to Norrie though, he's had a stinking 12 months and not many would have had him down to beat Draper with the form he has shown over the last month.

Only saw the end but his serve looked strong. I fucking hate the upper middle class Wimbledon crowd, all titters and can’t be arsed
