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 ?

Carlos is so humble. Wouldn’t he be a lovely son or grandson?

Andrew Castle is talking twaddle as usual. He's now on mute.

He even mentioned the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit!

Did it sound hotter? 😁

This looks like it’s going to be a good match.

Feeling ridiculously pleased with myself - have completed all sorts of housework and gardening - hope that I have paved the way for an uninterrupted afternoon of tennis!

So have I, it’s so hot, a lovely cool tennis afternoon ahead.

Brilliant - she was smiling throughout and having the time of her life.

I’m losing interest in the men’s tennis now that we seem to be left with an injured Sinner (sp) and a possibly injured Djokovic. I am, however, loving the women’s singles because, for once I’m getting to know the different players. And I’ve still got my 10 pence bet on Iga to win!

Did anyone see the footage of the ball-girl being invited to join in with men's doubles yesterday?

I wondered if she was a known player as she played very well!

It was a nice moment though...one of the reasons Wimbledon is so different from other sporting events.

It always helps when one of the players wears a hat..

But not both of them unless they are different colours.

Exactly NanKate ... and the point I was making upthread. What can they be thinking? I have written to the BEEB!

I wish the BBC would stop giving the scores of a different match to the one I am watching. Don’t they realise some of us watch more than one match per day.

Could we have 2 Italians in the semis?

Consistency is all. Brilliant shots wow but boring good sometimes wins the game (set and match)

Shame, but Carlos played so well.

I'm so blind Carlos and Cam look the same to me. I would so like the Brit (SA, NZ/Scot) to do well.
