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

So relieved Andy got through. I missed Emma’s match, but saw bits on the news.

I have been to Wimbledon a couple of times and it is a great experience. I am going to enter the ballot again and hope that I get tickets for next year.

Love Wimbledon! To be truthful, I only watch the Men's Finals with full concentration but I have the rest of the coverage on in the background every day.

As well as the skill of the players, I enjoy the whole sense of tradition about it all.

In the matches I watched yesterday, there seemed to be fewer Grunters, which is A Good Thing ?

Great results but we will be put through the wringer again on Wednesday.
Andy always doesn’t this to us doesn’t he? It was the same with Tim Henman - always nail-biting stuff!

Whew! Andy and Emma through. Oh the tension!

I’m a Tennis Addict and watch matches from all around the world for 11 months of the year. However there is something special about Wimbledon, it is so quintessentially English.

Can’t wait for the King of Clay to grace Centre Court. ???

Another Wimbledon lover here

Yay well done Emma and Andy! It's not looking good for Heather Watson at the moment though

Come on Andy!!!

Best fortnight of the year. Love it all especially when we manage to get lucky in the draw for tickets. Sadly not this year though.

Well done, Emma.

PamelaJ1 Mon 27-Jun-22 18:18:38

Well done Emma

J52 Mon 27-Jun-22 18:18:28

Well done Emma, not an easy match, but she smashed it!

Zoejory Mon 27-Jun-22 18:17:31

Well done! What a brilliant shot to end with.

Such a lovely little player

TillyTrotter Mon 27-Jun-22 18:14:15

Is your sister one of the 3 women who are sporting union flag umbrella hats Pamela ? ?

No???, I can’t even see her and I know what she looks like.

TillyTrotter Mon 27-Jun-22 18:00:54

You lucky person Pittcity . It will be fantastic ? ?

Streaky Mon 27-Jun-22 18:00:28

Thank you for starting this new thread for the tennis lovers!
Really enjoying this first day and looking forward to Andy later, is it going to be another all-nighter? I might have to watch Stan the Man for a while, I think this tournament might be a Last Hurrah for him and a few others, but I hope not. I’ll have to watch one match on tv and the other on my iPad!

Pittcity Mon 27-Jun-22 17:56:50

I'm hooked already. Looking forward to being there next week!

These two young women can produce great strokes but there seem to be quite a few unforced errors from them both too.
