Anyone for Tennis??

I’m also settling into a tennis afternoon. Tesco have just delivered so it’ll be cold drinks and a choc ice to keep me going.
I see Queen Camilla is in the royal box. Good Luck Arthur!!

I’m going to be torn watching this one! I love Cobolli but feel un-patriotic if I don’t root for Fery. May the best man win, I guess! 🎾 🇬🇧 🇮🇹

'ere we go!

I agree. I won’t be too heartbroken if Fery loses to Cobolli but it would be fantastic if he wins.

I haven’t watched a Djokovic match for years, can’t stand his arrogance and gamemanship. Will definitely be behind Sinner. Fery too has a bit of arrogance about him and I do like Cobolli but I should really support the Brit ….

Can't stand tennis. It is boring and very over rated and still full of snotty class snobbery. Have you ever seen a game of Padel. Much .more inclusive and exciting.

As for the yearly BBC overkill coverage of Wimbledon. Can they now ditch this and give us better value for the ever increasing in.price TV licence?

She's a joke, always injured one hit wonder, there will never be the likes again as Evert, King Wade

Wow! Fery. Doing great!!

Yes he’s racing through it.

I am the same 🎾

How anyone can say tennis is boring is beyond me.
WithNobsOnIt the thread title is Anyone for tennis? Obviously you’re not but I think us tennis fans are entitled to enjoy it. It’s only 2 weeks in the year.

Withnobsonit I don’t watch Eastenders, Strictly and the like. Wimbledon fortnight is the only time I feel I get anything for my license fee

Well, this match certainly isn’t!! 🎾🎾 😂

It sure isn’t. Although I’m not a fan the same can be said for the Djokovic game last night.

He’s done it again!! Woo Hoo!

Wow just wow!

I can’t believe how well Arthur played! How exciting!

Whoop!

Exactly Grannybags

What a match! Such talent. Can’t wait for the semi.

Well that was quick! I see Zverev won as well. He’s another I don’t care for. He has a nasty temper.

Poor Flávio😢 Not a happy day for the Italians as Paolini went out as well.

Are you talking about Emma Raducanu?

She’s hardly a one hit wonder! She’s only 23 and plenty of sports men and woman miss time playing due to injuries.

Emma reached the finals just two weeks ago at Queens, and she’s our no. Female player atm.

At 23 she’s already won $6m+.

I would not call her a “waste of space”

As for your assertions about there never being the likes of Evert, Wade & King, (you missed out Navratilova) I think the Williams sisters have outplayed the three you’ve mentioned.

Wow just wow!

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Great game and result!
I was flicking between the channels and the two matches were very similar.
I like Zverev and think he will be a more difficult opponent for Fery, could be a very close match.

Each to their own.

I’m not so keen on football and find cricket extremely boring. Football dominates our tv and media week in, week out.

Wimbledon is our major tennis tournament and it’s two weeks once a year.

It’s ok not to like it, but don’t diss us who look forward to Wimbledon every year.

For me, it’s triggers lovely memories of watching it with my DM who died in 2022.
