Ok, am I the only one who hates tennis?

Wimbledon comes but once a year and you don't have to watch it. I hate football!

Must be a pain if you do hate/dislike Tennis or Football at the moment - but I lOVE it.
I don't follow football normally but when it comes to 'world' events like these you get the top players and it's great.
I dislike Rugby; Golf and Snooker I find boring, but cannot see why you would find top players in Tennis and football boring. I actually used to feel that way about football until one year away from home at a sales exhibition I wondered what all the commotion around the TV was and went over to see - I ended up cheering with the crowd and now watch the World cup and some Euros - and enjoy the matches (tho I still don't understand the 'offside' rule properly!). - TRY actually watching it - you might change your mind. PS: Murray is back after years out of it - he's doing well so far - he won't win, but marvellous to see him back.

I quite like tennis, but so far havent seen a match at Wimbledon, its far better than football.I am not really interested in sport but so pleased England won against Germany the other evening.

I have absolutely no interest in any kind of sport and what infuriates me is that even though I pay my licence fee like everyone else my interests are not really catered for. I haven’t seen a decent newish release film on terrestrial tv for ages. Thank goodness for Netflix and Prime!

Wimbledon I can take or leave. I even went one year when I was at college, in the time of Bjorn Borg.
It rained. But the thrill of having Bjorn walk past as they were restarting play - just as we were leaving!
(Let's just say, he looked better in photos than in real life!!)
Cricket - would rather watch paint dry! Having lived in Australia and having it forced on me every summer was enough to put me off (In the winter it was Aussie Rules)

As a teenager we used to ball girl at Queens Club. I ball girdled for Mark Cox and friend did the Virginia Wade, whist we were able to watch. Once or twice friends and I went into Wimbledon and were given some centre court tickets late in the day. I used to watch the tennis every year.

These days I just fine most sport very tedious from footy to tennis, rugby, Olympics. I’ll watch snooker for a bit but only the last frame. The same applies to Strictly. I just watch the final stages when I’ve nothing better to do.

DH is another story but as we’ve been without football etc for a long time, he gets to watch it on the TV.

I’m feeling rather cross that the BBC have very little other than sport on at the moment and lots of repeats.

I hate sport of all varieties.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that sports should not be jobs, if someone wants to exercise by paying tennis or football for example, they should hold down a proper job and exercise in their spare time!

Hate it. the only sports I enjoy watching are Wale playing rugby or the highlights of the Tour De France.

I don’t enjoy watching sport and fortunately neither does DH.

Our son in law is an avid football and rugby fan as is our 4 year old granddaughter!

Hate sport and don't watch Wimbledon. It was sometimes disadvantage when I was working when the whole staff room seemed to have watched and spent every playtime discussing each move.
I do like dance (Ballet, modern) and there isn't enough on TV.

I love a good mixed doubles tennis match. Give me that any day over the dreadful hype and noise that goes with football, especially international matches involving England!!

Prefer tennis to football and cricket but that's the best I can say!
Used to love it but don't recognise many players nowadays and hate the grunting and histrionics.

I can understand people who don't like tennis being annoyed at all the BBC coverage. Personally I'm quite shallow, I just like watching Nadal, Federer and Murray and occasionally Djokovic and Serena Williams, once they have all retired I don't think I'll watch it as much. DH is a great fan of Speedway and always complains it's never shown on the main channels even if it is one of the country's much popular spectator sports (I expect a lot of people are pleased it's not shown).

I find most of the ‘popular’ sports boring, but I absolutely love the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Vuelta de España, etc. You feel as though you’re actually there with the riders, having a tour of the country, seeing the little villages and ancient buildings. There’s something spectacular about the sight of the peloton winding its way through the countryside. Congratulations to Brit Mark Cavendish on winning his 31st stage of the Tour de France!
Can’t wait for the stages in the Alps - spectacular! (Especially following the riders as they descend round the hairpin bends!)
P.S. If you want to watch it you need to go to ITV4…

Goodness what a lot of moaning and whingeing.

I look forward to watching Wimbledon every year on TV. For those of you who are not interested - there are PLENTY of programmes on other free channels to watch, even more if you pay for streaming. I detest reality shows, cooking shows, quiz shows and a lot of other stuff - I don't go whining to everyone else about what I dislike. Its Summer - prime sports weather - either switch the channel or STFU, we get this whining every single year facepalm!

Why do you have to pay a licence for free to air? Why don’t you all refuse to pay ? I don’t really watch much sport but my husband does. I like the Tour de France for the scenery and there’s always Netflix if not.

GillT57... I hate tennis, cricket and golf with a passion, never watch it, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes. So your not the only one. Totally pointless and boring, is my opinion.

Men's grand slam tennis is the only sport I like. Can't stand football, rugby, cricket, golf, Formula One, people on bicycles etc.

Bores me to death along with Cricket

No, I am not interested in tennis either. I never enjoyed playing it and find it very boring. The only good thing is that I know it is strawberries and cream season!

I don't watch tennis, cricket, rugby, athletics, swimming rarely watch football. It just doesn't interest me. I do admire how hard sports people work to be on top of their game though

Goodness what a lot of moaning and whingeing.

Not what you’d expect on here!

Sorry but I love tennis. Not Cliif singing though!!.
I love the atmosphere although I have never been to Wimbledon. My mother went almost every day when I was young & I had school lunches which I thought was a huge treat as we lived very close to my primary school & I went home for lunch. I cannot stand football so I am cheering in sitting room while DH is watching football (ugh!) in his office.
Hears hoping for a dry day today.
