Tennis is the only sport I watch. Love Wimbledon, but I feel concerned for the players in the heat today. I don’t support anyone in particular.

Me too! 🎾

I would love to see Jack do well. I think Sinner/Alcaraz (always want to call him Alcatraz!) final.

I love Jasmine Paolini . She's so little compared to the others

No, no, no, no………….NO!

Yes, Queens, Eastbourne now two weeks Wimbledon

Me too. I would like Draper to do well, but Alcaraz is such an exciting player. I also hope Emma wins the title.
I’m really looking forward to her mixed doubles with Carlos.

Must get more strawberries for Pimm’s Pamela 😋

Love tennis too Nankate and will be glued to my TV.
I am interested to see Mensik as well as Alcaraz and Draper as he (Mensik) is playing (and serving) phenomenally.

I had a couple of years when i got to know players styles and skills. I watched on tv and enjoyed it hugely. Then my interest diminished, I now know nothing and have no interest.
I’m sure others will enjoy all Wimbledon has to offer 🍓🍓🍓

Not for me thank you, but enjoy !

Me, Kate
I love watching Alcaraz play (he's so exciting and goes for shots that others would leave). I'd like to see Jack Draper doing well. (He had Tonsillitis while playing at Queen's)

For those who love it, enjoy but it's not for me.

Saw them both at Queens this year, fantastic.
I’ve got my Pimm’s in the fridge.

I am with you NanKate and really looking forward to it.
I am with Alcaraz but would like to see Jack Draper doing well.

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.

I’m backing Sinner ?
