Any tennis fans? Especially Wimbledon?

Sad to see our female number one not competing due to injury! Emma R did so well at Queens.

Still, this week we do have a number of Brits and a good few wildcards.

Will you be watching and who are you supporting?

I’ll def be watching all our girls and boys and the Williams Sisters who are playing (as wild cards) in the doubles.

Might have to turn off the volume if there is too much “grunting” on court, drives me nuts!

Grigor plays again on Saturday. Last year at Wimbledon he was two sets up against Sinner when he suffered a pectoral injury and had to retire.

I miss Rafa too NanKate and think he’s greatly missed on the tennis circuit.

Just watched Djokovic game , such a nail biter, he surely is a champion. Such an entertaining match . The French man with the unFrench name, Rinderknech, has a killer serve, never heard of him before. Like others I have lost touch, all the familiar players superseded by younger ones, unknowns to me. As I do not have any sports channels like Skye, I do not get the chance to follow the sport these days unfortunately.

I do hope Djocovic makes it through the next round. I never much enjoy women’s tennis , it seems so slow.

I love to watch Alcaraz, hope he doesn't get too many injuries in future as he is so entertaining to watch.
It would be good if Novak won his 25 GrandSlams, one match at a time,he'll need a bit of luck but that would be magnificent to see.

I am a fan of Ugo Humbert too NanKate.I follow him all through the year and like him because he rarely if ever gets angry or stressed and just seems very enthusiastic about his matches. I was so sorry he lost to Bergs in the first round. He appears to be a very likeable character and loves the British spectators and playing here.

I watched Arthur Fiery play who won to the 3rd round but haven’t heard about him since. Does anyone know if he is still playing?

I've just been watching Alex Eala from the Philippines beat the defending champion Iga Swiatek in 2 sets.

Thrilling for Eala , very disappointing for poor Swiatek.
