🎾Calling all Wimbledon watchers🏆! Views and Comments?

Sad about Andy, I did wonder if it might be too much for him. Such a shame.

I imagine a Lucky Loser will be found. A couple of women got an unexpected chance yesterday when 2 pulled out.

Yes he intends to play the doubles.
I’m glad he’s gone out with dignity.

Thank you

I sort of understand why he left it so late to decide but doesn't it give the organisers a hard time rescheduling matches.

Has he said yet if he will play doubles with his brother?

For his own sake, I'm glad he has pulled out of the singles.
He's been a great player and done us proud, so good health Andy in your retirement.

I've been watching Wimbledon since 1952 (apart from 5 years as an expat) when we saw 'Little Mo' on our tiny screen. What a thrill that was and I still feel it. I don't think non-Scots appreciate Andy Murray who may appear dour when he has no such intention. I hope that, if he can't play today, he does manage to partner Jamie in the doubles. I've always wanted to see those two (survivors of that terrible shooting at Dunkeld) playing together.

Agree and I didn’t want to see him unable to finish the match

He's out, and I think that's probably a wise decision for his health.

I agree PamelaJ1. Even though I'm an Andy fan, I'm critical over this. He must know by now whether he can play and it's selfish and thoughtless to keep everyone hanging on.

Like two of the women did yesterday …

I am just hoping that Andy Murray makes his mind up in time to give one of the players who didn’t quite make it a chance to play.
If he pulls out of his first match after play has started I will be cross.

I watched Laver and Rosewall in the late 60s also Granny Somerset. Visited a lot over the years but now not so much sadly. Best two weeks of the year for me.

We used to be allowed to leave school early after exams and rushed to Wimbledon in school uniform complete with boater hats. Americans tended to leave by tea time and gave us their tickets so in the first week at least we could watch centre and No 1 court matches until evening. Couldn’t happen now! I saw Rosewall and Laver play.

My aunt took me to Wimbledon in the 1960s. I was amazed the grass was green because we only had a black and white tv.

Will Andy play? Decisions,decisions..

I do hope so, because I am going twice next week, on quarter finals day and doubles day and it would be good to see him.

I'm late to this discussion already. Here's my two pennorth. I agree with many comments here. Firstly to say I don't watch all of it and watch more in the second week. I too would like Andrew Castle to find another job. Anna belle Croft to be the main presenter. I don't much care what Andy Murray does although I hope he does retire and pleasr, please not become a presenter. Hoping Emma does well...so watchable. That's it really. I have never been but would love to. No one to go with dadly.

Lots of slebs.

Sir Cliff - please don't let it rain😱

Any more?

Oh to be a ‘sleb’ & get a free front seat 🤪

I thought Kyrgios did well commentating. Totally different to his bad boy court persona

I found Lajal’s coiffeur very distracting!😄

I was very disappointed not to be able to find Sinner’s match on any channel (not even the Italian one which usually shows their own players’ matches).

Can’t believe they showed a boring (in my opinion) women’s match and not the World No.1. If it was on iPlayer or the Red Button I don’t have access to those. Even Tennis Channel wasn’t showing it live.😞

Crossstitchfan As you don't like Murray, I doubt you've watched the documentaries on his dedication, pain and commitment to rehab following major surgery. If you had, you probably wouldn't dream of implying that he invents injuries as excuses.

I think he's tremendous and has been committed to tennis since childhood. He's given tremendous entertainment over the years and I have every admiration for him.

Unfortunately injuries come to all sportsmen and women in the end - for instance Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. I hope that Andy Murray retires now for his own wellbeing rather than limping through a match in pain when he only had surgery last week.

Sorry but I think he’s a drama queen and find him very hard to watch.
I think it’s time he retired! Then I might start watching Wimbledon again.

Well, the secretary bird is giving Alcaraz a run for his money😆

Brilliant ixion. I had quite an urge to get hold of some scissors whilst watching Lajal.

Don't think Nick Kyrgios 'does' smart, RosiesMaw.

Tim's expression! 😁
Priceless, ixion

Just home from a brilliant day at Wimbledon. Great seats on Court 1. We watched all three games and soaked up the atmosphere. A treat to have the roof on for the last set of the day.
All the staff were so friendly and helpful and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Well done to the organisers, great experience

Don't think Nick Kyrgios 'does' smart, RosiesMaw.

How shallow am I, but my comment is about how smart the players and indeed our umpires, line judges and ball boys/girls look every year.
Compare with Roland Garros where they looked downright scruffy.
👏👏👏
