Anyone for Tennis??

I will be watching a great many matches; singles rather than doubles because I prefer singles.
In the men's singles I will be supporting Sinner to win( as I write I think all of the Brits who were really serious contenders are either defeated(Norrie) or have withdrawn(Draper)). I basically will cheer on any excellent tennis regardless of who is playing.Also I like Medvedev although he hasn't done so well lately .Radacanu out of course. Is she just unfortunately too physically fragile to play the game at this level? Supporting Sabalenka , Swiatek and Osaka for the girls.
I hope the heat doesn't spoil everything.

I love watching a good tennis match but I miss my lovely late MIL as we used to watch together. She was rather deaf so we used to have teletext on, which makes the most hilarious mistakes and was the cause of much laughter! OH is indifferent to sport so I now watch on my own, which is not quite the same. However, I'm staying with my younger daughter over the weekend so I think we may watch some together, Hope so!

Oh yes! I’m definitely for tennis.
Currently watching the Wu/Djokovic match.
Hoping Wu will win as I can’t stand the arrogance of Djokovic.
Loving that McEnroe is commentating too.

I feel the same re Djokovic. It’s good to hear McEnroe too - a commentator who knows what he is talking about.

I’m watching and love it. I’m going to the ladies semi final this year and hope to see Sabalenka in action. I got the tickets via the LTA ballot returns, having failed in the Wimbledon ballot.

Emma was far from a disappointment at Queens! I was there for the final and she was fantastic.

Disappointed that Alcaraz wasn’t there to defend his title, I was so looking forward to seeing him.
However the final was thrilling, very long and 🔥
I’ll be watching Francisco Cerundolo with great interest in the tournament.

Jamie Murray seems a valuable addition to the reporting team.

Am I hearing Boos from the crowd when Wu wins points?
If I am it’s just disgusting.

bridie54 they are calling out "Woooo" not booing.

Doh! What a nana.
Just realised it’s Wu they are saying.

Great match. Just sorry Wu lost.
Can’t deny Djokovic talent. Pity he wasn’t a nicer guy though.

Yes great match. Wu certainly gave him a run for his money.

It has been a fabulous first day of Wimbledon!

But not for the 10 defeated Brits, tho !

I'm trying to find out how many of these had received wild cards?

Another Wimbledon fan here!
I plan to watch as many matches as possible.

There is every chance of a dry fortnight too!

I’m going with my daughter on Wednesday! I’m very excited- court number 1. It was a late ballot result so we’re not sitting together, but we’re one behind the other in aisle seats. Years ago we got centre court tickets three rows in - it was an unforgettable day. This year we have really splashed out and are collecting a Wimbledon picnic lunch, complete with wine - very expensive - but you only live once! Don’t think we’ll see any of the top players in court 1, but looking forward to seeing the schedule tomorrow.

Been watching today. Sorry to see a lot of the Brits going out in first round. Will watch Katie Boulter tomorrow...I like her. And am hoping Djokovic can get one final grand slam.
