Any tennis fans? Especially Wimbledon?

Sad to see our female number one not competing due to injury! Emma R did so well at Queens.

Still, this week we do have a number of Brits and a good few wildcards.

Will you be watching and who are you supporting?

I’ll def be watching all our girls and boys and the Williams Sisters who are playing (as wild cards) in the doubles.

Might have to turn off the volume if there is too much “grunting” on court, drives me nuts!

Well done Fery. It’s a shame they couldn’t both win. The crowd on court 18 had a treat.
Just to lower the tone… do you think the umpire wears Tena ladies?

I've just been watching Alex Eala from the Philippines beat the defending champion Iga Swiatek in 2 sets.

Thrilling for Eala , very disappointing for poor Swiatek.

Iga was my favourite player last year so I’m disappointed to see her get knocked out.

Streaky

Grigor plays again on Saturday. Last year at Wimbledon he was two sets up against Sinner when he suffered a pectoral injury and had to retire.

What an amazing match. I think I’ll watch it again on catchup. Will have divided loyalties next game.

Anyone else fed up of watching men’s games in which they both wear identical clothes and hats and don’t have the faintest idea of who’s who? At least last night one of them had black on his socks…

It wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t keep changing ends…confused Or camera shots.

My DH loves tennis, especially Wimbledon, he is choosing tennis over football at the moment.

Just glanced up - was Roger Federer really on his own in the Royal Box?

Have they always had Lloyd Loom chairs?
