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🌻.

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.

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.

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!

Norah Sun 14-Jul-24 17:58:24

Well done Alcaraz, he's just marvelous.

I was making ochios for our gc - enjoy and think Spain.

A brilliant day for Alfie Hewett 🏆 🏆

Another fine player and young man. 👏

Fantastic, well done Alcaraz!
The only Spanish win today please!

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

Alfie Hewett defeated Spaniard Martin de la Puente.

The only Spanish win today please!

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.

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

Fabulous tennis.

Well done Carlos 🏆

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

I hope Princess Catherine will be well soon.

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.

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

Well done Carlos, well deserved!

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