We ❤️ Wimbledon ‘22.

Watching Kyrgios at the mo though it is late here. He certainly draws the crowds and many of us here have gone through stages of loving him, hating him, exasperated with him. Now I quite like him, he’s a real showman.

Chatting to some of my Australian family this morning who have (Aussie) friends staying and all think he's an embarrassment and a poor ambassador for Australia.

Also - I'd like some of whatever painkillers he takes. Very quick acting indeed!

Me too - I'd be playing there if only mine worked like that!

He's quieter but is the bad shoulder just more gamesmanship?

If it comes to a match between Kyrgios and Djokovic I shall support Djokovic even though I'd normally support Djokovic's opponent.

Come on Nakashima!!

Me too!

This match is a bit like watching paint dry. ?

The Wimbledon staff have rewarded Kyrgios’ bad behaviour with a centre court appearance. Perhaps all players should be disruptive and bullying. Listening to Tim Henman’s grovelling commentary towards the ‘entertaining’ Kyrgios is making me so cross. I’m off to watch paint dry.

Me too - and also the rest of my family I discovered during discussions today.

I'm getting quite irritated with the commentators trying to depict him as a lovable, watchable rogue so I'm going out to pull up some invasive plum seedlings that have taken root in the hedge.

Many years ago he took a gamesmanship type toilet break during a match. I think he was playing Andy Murray. From then on I was always suspicious of him. And nothing that he’s done since has changed my attitude towards him. Which is sad because his tennis is sublime and I want to enjoy it.

I do find it hard to forgive his attitude to vaccination at a critical time when it was important for people to be safe. And he is a role model to the young. Highly irresponsible, but I accept his right to make his own decision.

And he was throwing parties at the start of the pandemic where other players were catching it.

I can’t look at him without thinking of his Novax attitude in Australia.

I wish I could get some sort of pleasure from watching how brilliant Djokovic is, but I just don’t like him. And I’m not someone that expects my sporting heroes to necessarily be ‘nice’.

I'm the same. I just can't like him, and when he's trying to be "nice", I don't buy it I'm afraid.

I can't watch him either MayBee, he's so arrogant. I agree that he's trying to win the public over. He seems to really struggle with not being popular, but doesn't help himself.

Cameron was brilliant wasn't he.

He's trying to win the public over!
I mean Djokovic

He's trying to win the public over!

Well done, Cameron Norrie!

Gosh I didn’t realise Angela Mortimer was in her 90s. She was the only one I don’t remember either TopsyIrene

I remember rushing home from school to watch Wimbldon on our black and white TV!
We also used to be able to buy string bags of Wimbledon balls at school, which had been used during the tournament. Some had a bit of Wimbledon soil on them.

And well done Cameron Norrie.

I watched Kyrgios play Tsitsipas in the Halle Open a few weeks ago and he behaved just the same. Berated the umpire, said the lines people were too old, and was consistently rude. It’s time the governing bodies did something other than fine him, he’s a disgraceful tennis player. Last night two lines people reported him to the umpire, so why wasn’t he warned earlier. Makes my blood boil. However I thought Tsitsipas handled it well considering. Feel sorry for the umpires, but they need to do a better job.

Well done Cameron Norrie. ❤️

Been out for a few hours, just settling in to watch Norrie, I like him,seems like a modest and unassuming young man. A bit like Nick Kyrgios in fact…not! I had to turn tv off when he started his antics, I was just getting more and more annoyed. I hope Cam wins, really rooting for him. I’m sorry I missed all the champions earlier, that would have been a lovely trip down memory lane. Maybe I can find it on catch up. ????
