My early viewing is very much dependent upon who is commentating and how frequently they pause for breath during the game. So much wittering at times.

Remembering our DF Lucca, still sadly missed especially during Wimbledon fortnight. 🎾😢

Yes. I always think of Lucca when Wimbledon starts, too.

I'll be watching - in fact I'm already watching! Now that Rafa has retired and Carlos is still injured, my hopes are pinned on my other favourite Sascha Zverev, now the French Open Champion!

I love Wimbledon fortnight, and have even been lucky enough to be there in person a couple of times recently, on Centre Court, and No1 Court. Fantastic experiences both!

I'll be keeping a weather eye on the Brits and hoping for some of them to make it to week 2.

Take care everyone. Play! xxx

I don't know the names of the Brits and I thought the Williams sisters had retired years ago.

Definitely, I don’t tend to watch the earlier matches unless there’s a particular favourite playing.
Then once the quarter finals are on I’m glued!

Yes I will be watching. It’s the highlight of my year I love it.
I’ll miss seeing Carlos Alcaraz so rooting for the Brits. Looking forward to seeing the Williams sisters too. It’s a shame there’s to be no Emma Radacanu this year.

I might give it a go.
Just because my mum and daughter both loved Wimbledon.

I will watch some of the men's games, tomorrows with Jack Draper and Taylor Fritz should be a good one.
I also like watching Sinner play.

I don't watch much of the woman's competition, cannot warm to any of them these days. Have never liked the Williams sisters.
And then we know most of the Brits will be knocked out early, and Raducanu pulled out again (surprised not).

I will watch some but not all matches I need to figure out who everyone is again as the top few seem to change every couple of years now and I only really watch when it’s Wimbledon on. Sad that our top seed won’t be playing though.

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!
