Wimbledon 2023 - News, Views and Comments 🎾

I was going to go out today but haven’t so I’m going to be brave and add to the collective support of Alcaraz . At least for a while. If it looks bad I’ll chicken out….

Lendl wasn’t popular but brilliant player

Fasten your seatbelts!! 🎾

I can’t ever remember a top tennis player who has ever been as universally disliked as Djokovic. So much of course he has brought on himself

I think he's mellowed.
Like Murray.

They do get advice of course!

In the comments column in the Times today after an article about him one wrote, "He had attended the same charm school as Andy Murray".
The article pointed out he is liked by the other players whilst Federer was the crowds favourite he was not as friendly with other players.

I didn’t like Sampras but it was his style of play I disliked, not him personally. Acs after ace was just boring.

Djovic is playing games - all that ball bouncing before a serve. Totally unnecessary. Makes me dislike him even more!

😬😬

I had to turn the ladies match off, I couldn’t bear to see Ons losing so badly. Similarly I shall watch the men’s final until it looks like Novax is going to win. I don’t like him at all. What do you do while waiting for him to serve, make yet another cup of tea or finish knitting another jumper. Vamos Alcaraz!

I'm with Djokovic!!

Alcaraz is annoying because it sounds as if he's shouting OUT every time he hits the ball.

Much more and I’ll turn off. I can’t bear it.

I’m going out for a walk tickingbird just can’t watch.

Most enjoyable match of the day yesterday was the ladies invitation doubles.
Kim Clijsters and Martina Hingis won but it was a pleasure to watch. An unexpected bonus at the end of the day.

Oh go on, give the lad just one game!

Streaky

You’ll have turned off by now then?🥴

I'm rather surprised at this first set.

I'm hoping Novak will win, but it's very early days

No. Alcaraz could still turn it round. It's not over till it's over .....

Well, this isn't going the way I thought it would. Alcatraz is taking a long time to settle. Let's hope he comes into his own in this second set.

Auto correct is at it again. Alcaraz!

Funny old game, tennis

You can rarely say someone is actually winning. We've had folk with match points end up being defeated

It's on the tv in the other room because I just can't stand watching Djokovic. Even the way he walks around the court sets my teeth on edge.

Andy Murray was never as bad as Djokovic IMO. Yesterday's final was disappointing and it looks as if today's is going to be too.

I can't see a true tennis fan seeing this match as disappointing!

Brilliant shots from both, brilliant rallies.

Not disappointing!

Andrew Castle commentating compounding my discomfort

I know, he is irritating.

He’s settling down👏🏻
