Who will be watching Wimbledon this year?

To be honest I prefer clay court tennis, but am more than happy to watch. Just concerned about the heat this year.

Iโ€™m backing Sinner ?

a worthy winner but I bet Alcaraz will be hearing โ€˜Faultโ€™ in his sleep.
Am not a fan of Andes Cadtle either.

Did anyone else feel that the BBC mentioned Sinners doping episode at every opportunity?
No mention of it now heโ€™s won.

Well done Jannik ๐Ÿ‘

We share a birthday but that's the only similarity

I donโ€™t think Carlos can believe whatโ€™s happened.

Great match. Well done, Sinner. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

All over for another year sad thanks for your great company on this thread

I donโ€™t remember ever enjoying Wimbledon as much as I have this year. All of the games have been brilliant.

Thank you everyone. I know I've said it before but I miss my mum for tennis talk so this thread has been great.

A brilliant match. The best player won. Alcaraz was definitely off form.
Well done Jannik .... and he seems a very decent chap. I like him.

(Nice to see the Princess of Wales looking good, both at the Women's Finals and today at the Men's.)

NanKate Thank you very much for starting this thread. It's been very enjoyable.

Yes. Thank you. Itโ€™s been nice to know I havenโ€™t been the only one glued to Harry von Wimbers (navy speak) every afternoon.

Needing to stay out of the heat was a perfect excuse!! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Missing dear Lucca at this time of year and her love for the game ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ.

So pleased for Jannick ๐Ÿ‘and Carlos handled losing well, especially as the King of Spain came yo support him.

I have just read online that there have been complaints about Andrew Castle talking rubbish, instead of analysing the tennis. Hopefully he will take early retirement.

And two new champions!

One of the best years at Wimbledon, really enjoyed it.
Brilliant Men's Final, both those young men are amazing.
The ladies final was a little sad with the final score but they too are going to have a fabulous future.
