Just thought it might be an idea to have a thread for sharing thoughts and comments this Wimbledon fortnight for those who follow.

Thinking too of Lucca, tennis' no.1 fan.

Novak is incredibly passionate about the game. He wants to win. His team wasn't him to win.

I can guarantee nobody is scared of him

There’s an incident on YouTube where he’s sat down at change of ends quite literally screaming at his wife. It doesn’t make comfortable viewing. Sorry, they don’t all behave like that. I know his father has commented that he’s not liked because he’s Serbian but I don’t like him purely because of his behaviour.

You know everyone around him do you?

What an odd thing to say confused

Well, I'm enjoying it!

So am I - personalities don't matter to me - the level of play is wonderful

Great match. Would love Alcaraz to win.

Our bl**dy television has switched off!!

You Cannot be Serious!!

We need another TV as DH is watching it and I can’t stand it goes on far too long

This is soooo good.

I nearly gave up because it looked like a Djokovic walkover. Even when he has the upper hand he has to use gamesmanship and the commentator, at that point said the umpire had turned the clock off because he didn’t want to give Djokovic a time violation!

Ball bouncing, grunting and groaning, not enjoyable!

They're both grunting!!

I did wonder. 🙂. Thanks.

The most important point of the match for Alcatraz!

merlotgran Sun 16-Jul-23 17:03:15

That was auto correct 😡

Alcaraz I mean.

Wow what a game!

Wow! Time to put the kettle on! 😂😂

Louella12 Sun 16-Jul-23 17:09:38

Not a disappointing match at all!

Sparklefizz Sun 16-Jul-23 17:10:29

WOW! What a game. Come on Carlos!!!!
It's going to be a long match.

DamaskRose Sun 16-Jul-23 17:17:09

Badly expressed - his personality on court, which is all I know of him and all I’m interested in, is what offends me. If Alcaraz’s behaviour offended me I’d happily admit that. 😉

Sparklefizz Sun 16-Jul-23 17:19:33

Djokovic is taking the mick with his extended bathroom break.

Give him time!
