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

Oh it did!

And if I remember rightly it was on an outside court and people were doing everything trying to watch it.

Could be wrong though. I often am. I'd have said it was about 5 years ago. No. 12 years!

Not really a fan ?

Was glued to the TV yesterday watching Rafa. What a match!

A wonderful reunion with those special little people Lucca. Enjoy.

I am glad a lot of you enjoy Wimbledon and wish our players all the best. I will cheer with everybody. WHY is it shown on BBC1 and BBC2 at the same time. ?

LauraNorderr Wed 29-Jun-22 15:34:39

On both channels so that we can switch from match to match. Currently between Djokovic v Kokkinakis on BBC1 and the wonderful Cam Norris v Munar on BBC2.
It’s only for two weeks and there are lots of other channels to choose from.

Flicking backwards and forwards between Emma and Cam. Can’t stand the strain!!

Zoejory Wed 29-Jun-22 16:18:06

There are lots of other channels! This is what I don't understand. It was true years ago that if you disliked tennis you were somewhat stuck but not today. Very odd.

Anyway, Emma's just started. Had a break of serve against her but early days

I’m very anxious about Emma!! I hope she can pull it off.

Emma's having a tough journey.

Love it, myself and my daughter always go to henman hill if we are not picked in the ballot. Great fun we get there at 6am we get our Wimbledon hamper and spend the day soaking up the great tennis and atmosphere.

Best two weeks of the sporting year. What a match yesterday between Serena and Harmony.Good luck to all but my heart is with Andy! What an inspiration.

Smileless2012 Wed 29-Jun-22 17:32:45

Norrie's just amazing!!

J52 Wed 29-Jun-22 17:33:14

Oh no! Still that’s the game - ups and downs. She’s young plenty of games and wins left.

Is anyone else getting annoyed with Johanna Konta’s constant prattling in the commentary box? I’m watching on mute!

Pittcity Wed 29-Jun-22 17:43:32

Come on Norrie!!

Parsley3 Wed 29-Jun-22 17:52:12

Come on Andy!!

I certainly am!

I hope Emma is not too disappointed. She's so young. Maybe next year!

PamelaJ1 Wed 29-Jun-22 17:59:55

No. I really like her comments. I didn’t know who it was at first.

Yes me!

We’ll done Norris. Shame about Emma

Come on Andy!!

When I watched tennis a few weeks ago, don't know where it was from, I'm sure there was a sign on the screen that you could watch without the commentary by pressing the ??? button. Would love to be able to do that. Any idea if it's available or did I imagine it?
Great shame about Emma, but hopefully her day will come.
