Maybe the heat but this years crowds have been tame even for wimbledon standards.

Wild card, 

 

if you are going to try and act clever at least be accurate.

This was always going to be a step too far but what a fortnight he’s had.

Yeah, he can hold his head high, he's done brilliantly to get this far.

[Manwell Pablo]

Apparently he’s going to over take draper and Norrie as British no.1

Yeah looks that way, Draper’s rank has cratered because of injury over the past year

Up to 36th in the live rankings.

 

So guaranteed entry into all the top tournaments pretty much, with next to nothing to defend. So at the very least he's going to have a year playing all the big tournaments.

[JonnyZeroFox]

Excellent championship, no-one expected him to get that far and he played some excellent tennis throughout. He can hold his head high.

Are you a fan of the German tennis player John McEnroe or the indian singer Cliff Richard

Yes Zverev too good as expected but an excellent run and hopefully the start of a good career .

It was a nod to the ‘Murray is Scottish’ back in the day when he got knocked out 

Some in this country (we know who they are)  have a habit of celebrating those doing well and dumping them as soon as they lose. 
 

(can’t believe I’m having to explain satire)

It’s a long old list ……..

[StanSP]

First time hearing Agassi on comms. Is he trying to be seductive

 

[kingfox]

I see Lleyton Hewitt’s son has reached the Boys’ singles final, feel old yet?

[Super_horns]

Sinner was too good particularly on the serve .

 

Favourite for the final too.

Patten wins the mens doubles. We actually do really well at doubles, always gets forgotten when talking about British tennis.

[Super_horns]

Finally Noskova gets over the line .

 

Congratulations to her,

 

Be a sense of joy and relief I suspect .

 

Well done to Harry Patten too .

[Libertine]

That final was like a game of chess by the two Czech mates.

Alfie Hewett picks up his 35th major. Mens wheelchair doubles. Gordon Reid with his 29th.

This nonsense of BBC cutting away to adverts for their unrelated programmes during change overs during Wimbledon 

[FoxesDeb]

Very enjoyable so far. I didn't think it would be quite as close as it has been, and I still think Sinner may pull it out the bag yet, but Zverev is having a great match and I'm hoping he goes on to win

[Super_horns]

A good match but deserved win for Sinner .

[winteriscoming]

Great no more Andrew Castle at Wimbledon after today.
