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!

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.

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

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.

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!
