Thread: 2021 Wimbledon

  1. #1

    2021 Wimbledon

    My favourite two weeks of the year is almost here and after last year's tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic I'm looking forward to it more than ever.

    The draw was made today and Andy Murray, who has received a wildcard, plays 24th seed Nikoloz Basilashvili in round one.

    Murray is playing at Wimbledon for the first time since 2017 when he lost in 5 sets to Sam Querrey in the quarter finals.

    I'm not expecting much but hopefully Murray can put on a good performance in a tournament that he says he will play as if it's his last Wimbledon.

    Elsewhere Novak Djokovic starts against young British player Jack Draper and Roger Federer plays Adrian Mannarino.

    Can't wait!

    Can't really see past Djokovic for this , he looks back to his best form again . Nadal , wawrinka are out and Federer , Murray can't keep up with him anymore . None of the rest can beat him at grand slams

    It wouldn't be Wimbledon without a rain delay.

    Ah well we've waited two years so what's another 35 minutes?

    Play scheduled to start on No.1 Court at 1pm and Centre Court at 1:30pm.

    Murray probably on around 5pm.

    Jack Draper takes the opening set v Djokovic, 6-4!

    Still a long way to go and Djokovic still the favourite but what a start!

    Djokovic takes the second set 6-1.

  8. #7
    Djokovic wins 3 sets to 1.

    All quite easy after the opening set.

    There could be a shock result on day 1.

    Number 3 seed and French Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas is two sets and a break down to Frances Tiafoe.

    This event is still tainted by Cliff Richard, Union Jacks & Henman Hill for me...Cant abide it but each to their own & hopefully the tournament is a classic for those who love it.

    Love Wimbledon, I don't think you can beat it outside of a Hibs match.

    This tournament has had some incredible moments and players over the years. For this reason its always been a must watch for me.
    I agree with you though...the strawberries and cream Britishness gives me the dry boak.

    Never easy with Andy. Like a certain football team I know.

    Great win for Liam Broady beating 2018 French Open semi-finalist Marco Cecchinato in straight sets.
