Anyone for Tennis??

What a ladies’ final! I think it was both the strengths and the faults of both that made it such an entertaining match to watch. Very emotional interviews at the end.

Obviously John McEnroe couldn't find a smart shirt to wear today 👔

Not happy that we’ve got Agassi mumbling away in the commentary box again.😩

Did anyone catch the closing minutes of the Boys Singles Finals?
Runner up was Cruz Hewitt, son of Lleyton.

(Winner was 16 years old in May😳).

I'm watching the mens final at the moment.
The Brits have done well this year especially Arthur.
The only thing that's spoilt it for me is Clare Balding. She's into everything.. Why can't she just stick to horses

I agree!

I must see if there is a way of watching junior final on catchup .... sounds interesting.

She lost her contract with the BBC many years ago and had to go freelance. She then had thyroid cancer and had trouble with her hearing, too. She switched to rugby, something that I have no knowledge of, but my partner says people in the rugby world were impressed by the depth of her knowledge. And it’s the same with everything she turns her hand to. A true professional imo. And when she was still working for the BBC many years ago someone that you could go up and chat to like a long lost friend. Her books are lovely, too, as are her walking podcasts. It took a lot of courage for her to come out when she did. I admire her immensely.

I’m a fan of Claire as well, she certainly does do her homework regarding broadcasts.
I like listening to her Ramblings programme on R 4.
Meanwhile back on centre court Zverev is doing very well.

I rather like Clare Balding at Wimbledon...but then I wasn't offended by John Mac's shirt either

I’m not sure why Claire gets so much stick as she seems to do a good job.

I have had to mute the tv though, the commentators are so negative about Sinner it’s making me nervous.😨

Zverev is a great example for any young person diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He has to monitor his blood sugar during matches and sometimes take insulin. Despite that, he's playing amazing tennis. He and Sinner are well matched.

I like Claire Balding, she is a great presenter. I miss Boris Becker commentating, he was great.

I can hardly watch this. What a nerve wracking time. 1 set all. Wonderful quality hitting from Sinner now.

I'm watching at the moment - the quality of play is stupendous! I'm routing for Zverev, simply because he is not favourite to win!
I too, like Claire Balding, as someone commented, she does her research very thoroughly.

Sinner for me but yes, both are well matched. Good match so far 🎾🎾🎾

I love the way Zverev shows us his tummy before every serve ... awfully decent of him and all entirely free!

My mum always noticed those kinds of things.
One player used to pull his shorts out of from between his cheeks before every serve.

Once she pointed it out, i found myself watching out for it too.
Bum, hand wipe, hand wipe...

What a fantastic match, a proper Wimbledon final! Well done to both players and although I'd have loved Zverev to win, Sinner was the better player. Loved every minute and so pleased that Zverev got back into the game after losing the second set. He did himself credit!

Phew! Very happy Sinner got the win. 🏆

Cracking Match. I think both would have been worthy winners and such great little speeches from both of them

And he’s a bit gorgeous - imo

And they both seem like nice chaps ....

Just click Prince George leaning on the barrier looking bored, he quickly clicked the cameras and started clapping again haha

Clocked! Not click
