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 ?

Thank you for starting this most enjoyable thread!

Missing dear Lucca at this time of year and her love for the game 🕯️.

Yes. I’ve been thinking of her over the two weeks, too…

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.

Another year over 🎾🎾🎾

And two new champions!

So pleased for Jannick 👍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.

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

Yes. Thank you. It’s been nice to know I haven’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!! 😂

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

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.)

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

I don’t remember ever enjoying Wimbledon as much as I have this year. All of the games have been brilliant.

nanaK54 Sun 13-Jul-25 19:42:35

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

merlotgran Sun 13-Jul-25 19:38:59

Great match. Well done, Sinner. 👏👏

MayBee70 Sun 13-Jul-25 19:35:33

I don’t think Carlos can believe what’s happened.

Grammaretto Sun 13-Jul-25 19:30:50

Well done Jannik 👏

We share a birthday but that's the only similarity

bridie54 Sun 13-Jul-25 19:29:27

a worthy winner but I bet Alcaraz will be hearing ‘Fault’ 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 he’s won.

J52 Sun 13-Jul-25 19:28:09

That was so tense, I had to have a ‘Wimbledon Picnic’ for dinner, I couldn’t tear myself away!
Sinner played the better tennis, but Carlos played well.

MayBee70 Sun 13-Jul-25 19:27:24

How can he go from almost being knocked out to playing like that? I always think Sinner looks nicer with his hair showing without his hat; I hardly recognise him without it.

Pantglas2 Sun 13-Jul-25 19:25:19

Indeed Brodie and the Pinot didn’t really dull the pain…but Sinner was a worthy 🏆

bridie54 Sun 13-Jul-25 19:22:12

What a match.

Millie22 Sun 13-Jul-25 18:11:00

Steve Austin reinvented 💪

It’s 5o’clock somewhere in the world Merlot I’ll raise a glass of Sav Blanc to you. 🍷 Sorry emoji’ s don’t do white. On,y red or bubbly 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, annoying isn't it for those who like Sav Blanc.
Why would someone open 🍾 with a loud pop just as Sinner (I think) was about to serve?

Yes, Jannik for me too, although I don't really mind.

Allira Sun 13-Jul-25 18:05:33

Oh, what a good idea!! 🥂
