Anyone for Tennis??

Whatever happens tomorrow Fery has much to be proud of.

I’m sure he will put up a good fight though and his dogged determination to battle to the end regardless of the score, has erned him a lot of respect.

The cat seems to like watching Wimbledon - watching him following the ball is crazy!

Arthur Fery v Flávio Cobolli ‘s quarterfinal was thrilling,
as was Coco Gauff v Kristina Muchova’s semi-final.
A treat for us fans to watch and inspiring to youngsters.

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?

Snotty class snobbery?
I play tennis and it costs me less than £90/year at our local club. I could play every day for that.
Our local Padel courts are £40 an hour.
I don’t think I’m a snob, just enjoy a great, OK these days it’s a mediocre, game with friends and a drink in the bar afterwards.
Actually this year it’s been 5 weeks, Queens, Eastbourne and Wimbledon.
Hurrah🎾🎾🎾

I never understand why anyone comments on a thread, which is full of enthusiasm,
just to say. “Can’t stand it blah blah” .
There are many other threads you could have a worthwhile contribution to.

Or start your own thread about something you are interested in.

Today looks like an interesting day in the men's!!!!

I had a great time yesterday at Wimbledon, and both finals at Queens.
I wasn’t bored for a single second, just very hot every day 🥵

Agreed.
I suspect it's just a 'wind up'.
I really don't have time for that.
Heyho - today should be wonderful!

Yes this afternoon will be very interesting. Just as well it’s too hot to do anything else!

He’s certainly likely to have a tough battle on his hands today playing the number two seed, but he never seems to be daunted by who’s across the net.

I’m sure the majority of the Centre Court spectators will be rooting for him which should help.

I will certainly be cheering him on as will everyone on here!

Come on Arthur 🎾 !

Yup - I'll be cheering him on - but fear my cheers might not help as he is facing a challenging opponent. Whatever happens today he has done brilliantly!

He certainly has!

Good Luck, Arthur. 🙏

He’s certainly holding his own so far.

Come n Arhur! 🎾🎾🎾

I’m not impressed with the umpire.

I’m on tenterhooks. The wheels are starting to come off for poor Arthur.😰

Well done for getting so far in the tournament Arthur 👏👏

It would have been a wonderful fairytale if Arthur had won, Zverev is 9 inches taller than Arthur and uses every inch to his advantage. He was a very worthy winner and I really warmed to him because he was generous and funny in his post match interview. It'll be interesting to see who wins the next match, Sinner is 6'3" and Djokovic is 6'2" and tbh I think both move a bit better than Zverev. I'm rushing around in the kitchen to pre prepare supper so I can watch the match.

Yes, well done for getting so far. Arthur exceeded all our expectations. Now looking forward to the next semi final later this afternoon. Wimbledon has been a godsend as too hot to do much in this heatwave.

I’m not impressed with the umpire.

What happened at the start of the match ( I was only half watching). I get no enjoyment from watching players with big serves. Hated the Sampras years. Having said that, for Arthur’s sake I hope he goes on to be champion as it’s better to know you’ve been beaten by someone on an unstoppable roll. He should be so proud of what he has achieved.

Fery seemed to have lost a bit of his sparkle - that determination to run for every shot. And who can blame him in this heat? - I can just about get to the kitchen!

He has done a great job and it all bodes well for his future. Oh - and he has pocketed nearly a million!

Well, here we go again! Not sure my nerves can stand it! 😅

Struggling with the commentary on this. Andre Agassi is very quietly spoken.
