Please join us in conversation if you enjoy Wimbledon - it is just 2 weeks of the years and greatly enjoyed by it’s fans.

Are the adverts annoying anyone else - a new intrusion of the Wimbledon coverage?

No, I am not interested in BBC3.

Quite agree, Callistemon21
Like ads in the French Opens when shown on ITV 4 - at least the BBC coverage used to be seamless.

This is a new thing this year, isn't it?

I love Wimbledon and used to book weeks off work to watch it or go in person when I was lucky enough to get tickets. I’m watching Serena at present after having a nail biting time watching Nadal, who’s my absolute no 1.

Back to the old annoying, It’s on bbc 1, now it’s on bbc2 now it’s on the red button, now it’s on bbc2!

Half an hour to Sherwood - nailbiting stuff!!

Wow indeed!

merlotgran Tue 28-Jun-22 20:22:37

Wow! What a great set.

nadateturbe Tue 28-Jun-22 20:10:51

Great sport indeed. And very fit. Good match.

Serena's a great sport - applauding that last shot of Harmony Tan's which won her the game!

Agree.. Good sport.
I do like the inclusion of Johanna Konta in the commentary box, lovely voice.

Great match watching Rafa ?
I wonder how Serena will do? Age 40 wow!

Serena must be pure muscle - she is so nimble for someone who is, dare I say it? - quite large.

Thank goodness Rafa got through - good match, though.
We haven't seen the last of Cerundolo - age 23!

Wasn't it great? I can usually rely on my feelings. Very pleased that they got it right.

Good to see Serena back. And what a fabulous name her opponent has! Harmony Tan smile

I wonder if Berrettini needs someone to plump up his pillows and mop his fevered brow?

Cerendolo has lovely teeth.

LauraNorderr Tue 28-Jun-22 19:01:40

Your gut feeling was right Zoejory. Great match, shame someone has to lose.

Pittcity Tue 28-Jun-22 18:59:59

Glad you were right Zoejory

Has Nadal met his match?

I have one of my feelings that are telling me Nadal will win. My feelings are rarely wrong. But they might be.

He's not getting any younger but he's been beaten before. They mentioned Dustin Brown, fabulous player, who beat him in a surprise result 10 years ago.

MayBee70 Tue 28-Jun-22 17:46:05

I’m just looking out for someone who can beat Djokovic. I really dislike him.

LauraNorderr Tue 28-Jun-22 17:40:20

Where’s Lucca today? One of GNs biggest tennis fans. Hope she’s okay.

TillyTrotter Tue 28-Jun-22 16:53:58

Some of these young players are biting at the heels of the Giants of the Game like Nadal and Djokovic.

Callistemon21 Tue 28-Jun-22 16:51:05

Cerundolo is certainly giving Nadal a challenge!

Callistemon21 Tue 28-Jun-22 16:46:58

My knitting gets faster and faster and the tension goes to pot too ?

I decided to get the needles out too, knit one, oh a nice drop stitch there!
