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🌻.

Yes, I'm happy for Alcarez but don't want to see another Spanish win today 🙂

Alfie Hewett defeated Spaniard Martin de la Puente.

Alfie Hewett’s win was fantastic too.
Another fine player and young man. 👏

A brilliant day for Alfie Hewett 🏆 🏆

I'm another that isn't keen to see another Spanish win!

I've just read that Alcaraz and Nadal are teaming up to play doubles at the Olympics so I'll look forward to that!

A fantastic day of tennis 🎾 and hopefully 🤞 an even better evening of football ⚽️

As an aside, Rafa is playing Leo Borg tomorrow in the Swedish Open, if you need another tennis fix.

Thank you for the comments and chat everyone. It's been good for me as my mum and I used to text about Wimbledon and I recently lost her.
