...to want to watch tennis rather than listen to people nattering

Don't like the format of this programme at all. Didn 't it used to be "Today at Wimbledon" with Sue and co?
Shan't be watching it

Everything is dumbed down to the dumbest these days. It drives me mad as well.

Agree with you all. if I want mindless chat I will connect to Gransnet (only joking)....

I like Claire Balding but she's all wrong for Wimbledon.

I agree - she's a great girl but she needs to get a bit picky about what she does now otherwise it could all come tumbling down. I think she will sort it out for herself as she ain't stupid and has a very clever partner too.

aaargh - thought it was just me ranting at the screen re '2day' (did not realise that is the new name for what is a 'national treasure' program )
Clare Balding is becoming a bit ubiquitous and is presenting sports about which she is not an expert (although she is good at her job)
Martina, Boris and the American woman ex-player were given much more airtime with their expertise - or am I being picky.
and the '2' picked out in yellow tennis balls everytime they do a replay - just why
found myself getting bored with the whole thing - which is very unlike me

and surely the 'gatsby lounge' should be a bit more sophisticated with its clientale.

sorry 'gatsby club'

I am finding the lingering shots of the spectators....for no apparent reason....on a face, someone's hands etc. They are very close up and almost intrusive to the person concerned. Even if its a so-called-celebrity , I am not sure I see the point.

I agree Hilda, I think it is def an intrusion to linger on members of the public rather than just pan the camera on e crowd in general.

The crowd!
