Wimbledon 2021 ???

Here we go!
??

PS. I am also a great Gareth Southgate fan!!!

NanKate I can highly recommend Andy Murray's documentary "Resurfaced" on Netflix if you haven't already seen it. I loved him before, but even more after watching him in that ... such dedication and hard work, and also a family man.

Haha NanKate, Love your Mum's comment! It's going to be an exciting weekend.

I agree with your analysis sparklefizz and that of others. I love how Rafa brings all his family with him when he is on tour, such a family man and a supreme sportsman without all the negative aspects that ND has.

Let’s hope Berrettini can turn things around tomorrow. Hasn’t he got lovely eyes ?

Talking of tomorrow it’s tennis in the afternoon and footie in the evening! My mum used to say ‘I’m turning off the tv to let it cool down a bit’.

I am not bothered about a player lacking people skills, Lendl
was never popular because he lacked ‘people skills’

Callistemon…sorry !!

I was rooting for Shapovalov and he gave Djokovic a good run for his money. I was really disappointed he wasn't able to finish it off but he will be one to watch next year.

I don't like Djokovic. I find his aggression horrible at the end of the match and actually quite intimidating. I just don't like him or some of his opinions.

Murray was always a bit gruff and sour. I loved his tennis but he had no people skills ..... but then I really warmed to him when he cried that time.

Right - so who are our favourites?

Barty and Berritini

He was quite gracious in his victory speech.
Why don't people like him generally?

I wasn't keen and wanted Shapovalov to win but went off him rather when he had a long bathroom break and then a tantrum and shouted at the umpire.

I don’t like his anti vaccine stance. Also he was responsible for some players being infected last year: can’t remember the circumstances ( need to look it up). And I remember him playing Andy Murray once and he was guilty of a lot of gamesmanship. I never liked him after that. It was a long time ago but I’ve never forgotten it. He’s being nice now because he realises it’s good to get the crowd behind you, but I don’t trust him.

I didn't realise, have only taken notice of him as a tennis player and thought he was very graceless and yes, guilty of gamesmanship but had impr8ved lately.

Of course, Murray too lacked charm but has improved a lot in that area!

Lucca I think we've realised

Really missed Rafa this year but I'm warming to Berrettini. Novak D is very robotic and I think that's why people don't like him.

I’m more than warming to him !!

He’s a great player, but was rooting for Shapovalov to win. Time for a change.

Blooming Djokovic again.....sigh.

Me too MayBee I know he's a brilliant player but I just don't like him.

Is Djokovic the most disliked Wimbledon champion ever: or is it just me?

I bet you’ve had a few tipples by now grandmad. I’ll have the chocs with the nuts in please. Cheers.

Can I straighten Boris' tie please?...maybe it's the name that means they can't dress themselves!!!!!

Why is sue barker dressing like angela Merkel ?

And that smile……

Lucca

Just switched on to see gorgeous Berettini….

Oh yes! ?

I’ve just seen that the BBC have got TV rights for the next 3 years. I can’t imagine Wimbledon with any other channel but yes get rid of McEnroe please. He’s been incredibly annoying this year.
