^How anyone can say tennis is boring is beyond me^

Well, this match certainly isn’t!! 🎾🎾 😂

It sure isn’t. Although I’m not a fan the same can be said for the Djokovic game last night.

Withnobsonit I don’t watch Eastenders, Strictly and the like. Wimbledon fortnight is the only time I feel I get anything for my license fee

WithNobsOnIt the thread title is Anyone for tennis? Obviously you’re not but I think us tennis fans are entitled to enjoy it. It’s only 2 weeks in the year.

I’m going to be torn watching this one! I love Cobolli but feel un-patriotic if I don’t root for Fery. May the best man win, I guess! 🎾 🇬🇧 🇮🇹

I am the same 🎾

Yes he’s racing through it.

Wow! Fery. Doing great!!

She's a joke, always injured one hit wonder, there will never be the likes again as Evert, King Wade

Can't stand tennis. It is boring and very over rated and still full of snotty class snobbery. Have you ever seen a game of Padel. Much .more inclusive and exciting.

As for the yearly BBC overkill coverage of Wimbledon. Can they now ditch this and give us better value for the ever increasing in.price TV licence?

I haven’t watched a Djokovic match for years, can’t stand his arrogance and gamemanship. Will definitely be behind Sinner. Fery too has a bit of arrogance about him and I do like Cobolli but I should really support the Brit ….

I agree. I won’t be too heartbroken if Fery loses to Cobolli but it would be fantastic if he wins.

'ere we go!

I’m also settling into a tennis afternoon. Tesco have just delivered so it’ll be cold drinks and a choc ice to keep me going.
I see Queen Camilla is in the royal box. Good Luck Arthur!!

I agree re the toilet breaks bridie54

I am also no fan of Djokovic and his losing to the crowd I was so wanting his opponent to win last night. Not to be but he has a tough game against Sinner next.

Currently one eye watching Paolini whilst doing paperwork. I like her but not to be.

Just sat down for my tennis afternoon and my match of choice is Jasmine Paolini v Kostyuk (marta ?)
Paolini is just a delight to watch.

Re some of the current behaviours, I think some players use ‘comfort breaks’ very tactically. . Of course.
Also I’m not in favour of players being able to get coaches advice during a match. Surely, as a player at that level, they should be able to decide for themselves to how to play the match.

Bellasnana I totally agree with what you say about Djokovic. Also I tend to favour players according to their personalities and gamesmanship rather than their nationality and so was upset when Dimitrov lost.

I just can't stand to watch him Bellasnana, yes he's brilliant but his arrogance is second to none and when in a difficult match, he always takes a medical time out.

Djokovic is undoubtedly an incredible athlete but I can’t help but find his huge ego and haughty manner obnoxious. Also his ‘tactics’. Medical time out for his foot then continues to prance about the court like a gazelle for several hours. I was so disappointed Felix didn’t get the win.☹️
