I thoroughly enjoy Wimbledon, and is one of the few times I actually sit and watch the television.
I'll be cheering for Andy this year!

I love Wimbledon but I can't stand that woman screaming!

Ooh ta muchly. They're chilling the bubbly...

I'm fed up with the screaming so am willing the other girl to win now...

I love it too. Djokovic is my man. Nadal and Murray are growing on me gradually. Have never taken to Federer somehow. I love tennis and try to follow all the grandslams as much as TV allows.

If I won the lottery I would travel to all the grand slams and follow the sun around!

Also love John McEnroe commentating, he is so knowledgeable. Hate Andrew Castle commentating! He makes so many banal comments.

Well, I'm sitting watching Sharapova and remembering the last time I watched a Wimbledon match, it might be as far back as when Sue Barker was actually playing! I don't know who is who or who to cheer on but as watching sporting events on the TV in the afternoon is one of the treats for non-workers I thought I'd give it a go...when are the strawberries delivered?

Nadal just about to step onto court 1.

I love the tennis too - especially Roger! But Andy Murray is growing on me...

Here's a new Wimbledon thread or those of us who love the tennis this time of year. Who's your favourite player? For me, it's Roger Federer, but Rafa Nadal comes a close second. smile
