I like the all white dress code especially when compared to some of the garish attire worn in other tournaments.
It’s tradition and I like that. What does need changing is the method of admittance to the Championships ie ballot, on the day queueing, Browsing other major competitions such as Roland Garros you can go online to purchase tickets. Much simpler.

You would think the dress code for the RoyalBox might be different for under 10 year olds.

Completely agree, except I would make it under 12s.

So glad I didn't see that Sparklefizz the more that man tries to ingratiate himself, the more I dislike him.

Was a great match and nice to see that the two of them are good mates. I didn’t care about what people were wearing, just envious of the nice hot weather .

I’m surprised Wimbledon weren’t as strict on the unprofessional behaviour from Kyrios or the fact he put a red hat on to get his trophy, which is not in the dress code , but it seems it gets publicity and draws in the viewers. Don’t mind Novak getting the cheers and doing a bit of a dance or whatever - he has just won a Grand Slam….

I wonder if the woman in the dress who'd had "700 drinks" is on Gransnet??

Doubt it. She's a young lawyer in her 20s!

I read that she was 32 and had only had 2 drinks. She blamed the heat!

Did you see that Mrs Novak wore the same pink dress to the Champions Ball?

PoppyFlower I’m a tennis addict and watch all year, except for December when no tennis is played. I have the TennisTV app about £90 odd a year and today will be watching tennis in Sweden and the US. Eurosport tend to have the bigger tournaments. If you download the free ATP you can follow the details of all the matches/scores etc around the world.
