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.

Fabulous, made my weekend.

Well done, Alcaraz!

What a thriller. I'm delighted for Carlos Alcaraz. A well earned winπŸŽΎπŸ†

I’m so pleased it’s over and Alcaraz won. It was a fantastic match and just how a men’s Wimbledon final should be. I feel shattered.

Mollygo Sun 16-Jul-23 18:56:39

Well done Alcaraz!

Louella12 Sun 16-Jul-23 18:57:38

Fabulous match. It will go down as one of the best.

I thought he'd win. He has such huge talent. I think he'll be winning for years.

Well done to Novak as well. He's been a brilliant player. Will he continue? Who knows

Great match
Well done to both

And now I can relax!

Novak - gracious in defeat.

Sparklefizz Sun 16-Jul-23 19:07:21

One of the best matches I've seen for a very long time. They took it to the wire. Congratulations to Alcaraz - a fantastic champion.

My nerves are in tatters. Phew!

Wow! Brilliant tennis

nadateturbe Sun 16-Jul-23 19:10:03

Sad for Novak. Congratulations Alcaraz. They both played a brilliant game.

tickingbird Sun 16-Jul-23 19:10:27

Felt sorry for Novak when he wept. Feel sorry for Carlos having to talk in a language he’s not that proficient in and in front of all those people.

rafichagran Sun 16-Jul-23 19:11:23

Nova, was very gracious.

rafichagran Sun 16-Jul-23 19:11:39

Novak

🎾 Thank you to everyone for making this thread such a success!
See you next year!

Sparklefizz Sun 16-Jul-23 19:21:23

Thank you ixion for starting this thread. As I've been watching on my own, it's been lovely to share it.
Yes, see you next year.

maddyone Sun 16-Jul-23 19:21:49

I agree Novak was gracious in defeat. It must be hard to lose to such a young man after six (is it six?) wins.
Alcaraz will be on our screens for a few years yet I think. How lovely for him that the king of Spain came especially to watch him.

Callistemon the Ferraro Rocher cake was delicious, but as you said, no doubt extremely calorific. I think I got the price wrong, I forgot to add in the M+S version of Nutella, at a further Β£4.50 so I think it cost about Β£16 to make. I won’t be making it again soon whatever my dear grandson says πŸ˜‚ But it was a worthy addition to our barbecue on Wimbledon final day.

maddyone Sun 16-Jul-23 19:22:27

Until next year 🍰

tickingbird Sun 16-Jul-23 19:24:37

Yes thank you Ixion for a lovely thread.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 16-Jul-23 19:28:51

Just coming up for air.

Yo-Ho yo-Ho - that’s the way to do it. Federer will be be so pleased!
