A platform for news, views and comments this Wimbledon fortnight.

Andy - how far will he get?
Who will be the most annoying presenter(s)?
Any Brits to look out for?
Anyone here going?

And not forgetting Lucca, who loved the game and the Championship🌻.

Catherine’s dress is lovely, what a pretty colour.

I hope it’s warmer in the Royal Box than it is here.

I would be sitting in a cardi and coat.

(I thought George would not be missing the football).

Go Carlos!!!

'Wimbledon' purple this year?
'Wimbledon' green last?

At last hopefully some happy news. Lovely to see Princess Catherine and Charlotte. Keeping fingers crossed for her full recovery and I hope they enjoy the tennis.

Alcaraz is on fire 😀

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Jul-24 15:27:57

I agree Urmstongran. I felt quite tearful at seeing how thin she's become but it's lovely to see her with Charlotte.
It's a fantastic match and I'm sure they'll enjoy it.

C'mon Carlos!!!! You can do it!

Millie22 Sun 14-Jul-24 15:31:33

Carlos is doing incredibly well 😊

I don't think the commentators know what to say!

bridie54 Sun 14-Jul-24 15:44:47

This is like a tennis masterclass today. Go Carlos.
I’m surprised too at how good Nick K is in the commentary box. A far cry from his on court antics.

tickingbird Sun 14-Jul-24 16:16:24

I’m actually feeling sorry for Djokovic. This has been an incredible display by Alcaraz who hasn’t played his best in the tournament before today.

merlotgran Sun 14-Jul-24 16:17:13

What fantastic play from Alcaraz. He has saved his best till last.

Smileless2012 Sun 14-Jul-24 16:23:44

Noooooo can't believe it; 4 championship points lost!!!

Grandmadinosaur Sun 14-Jul-24 16:38:50

He’s done it. Fabulous. Well done Carlos.

Pantglas2 Sun 14-Jul-24 16:38:56

Ole!

GrannyGravy13 Sun 14-Jul-24 16:39:01

Well done Alcaraz 👏👏👏

MayBee70 Sun 14-Jul-24 16:40:32

I’ve realised I only enjoy watching sport if I don’t care who wins. What a talent!

Bellasnana Sun 14-Jul-24 16:42:11

I’m in tears! So delighted he did it in three sets. Fantastic tennis and a truly lovely young man.🏆

bridie54 Sun 14-Jul-24 16:45:16

Just so nice to see such a winner as Alcaraz.

Absolutely and a very popular winner.

rafichagran Sun 14-Jul-24 16:49:07

I thought Djockovic was very gracious in defeat. Well done Carlos.

DamaskRose Sun 14-Jul-24 16:55:29

Well done Carlos, well deserved!

TillyTrotter Sun 14-Jul-24 17:01:30

Yeeesssssssss. The best player won.
The young Carlos Alcaraz.
Many Congratulations!! What a fine man he is.

TillyTrotter Sun 14-Jul-24 17:02:53

I hope Princess Catherine will be well soon.

Millie22 Sun 14-Jul-24 17:09:27

Fabulous tennis.

Well done Carlos 🏆

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Jul-24 17:12:10

Well done Carlos. Terrific tennis, and in 3 sets!!! My nerves are in shreds.

I agree about Nick Krygios in the commentary box. He has been much better than I expected.
