    Yeah hard to see past him. French Open final has really set this up nicely. Bublik is one to watch, quite an entertainer. Women's is wide open as usual although Sabalenka will be favourite.

    Looking forward to the players getting back to wearing whites as this fad for wearing maroon is getting tiresome....

    Bookies cannae split them and they are never wrong


    Used to love Wimbledon when our ain Andy Murray was playing , Infact i'd watch every single major tournament he played in and stayed up till all hours and slept around his schedule , My burd at the time was a massive Tennis fan so it worked so well ! We watched all his games together for about 4 years ..Nowadays i just don't have the same buzz with the players in it

    To think Murray won 3 majors 2 olympic golds ( back to back ) and a Davis cup in an era of Djokovic Nadal and Federer is staggering !!

    Not forgetting he also became world No 1 during that era. I remember he was required to put together a near impossible run of form to achieve it yet somehow managed it.

    I've come to believe that the relentless demands on his body of competing with those guys is what ended his career at the top level so early.

    Sinner's good on grass. In fact I initially thought it was a surface on which he'd be better than Alcaraz - until Alcaraz made Djokovic look human two years running!

    Hoping Jack Draper can put together a good run.

    Same here, sounds a bit flag wavy but it doesn’t have the same pull without Andy.

    I’ve been watching Andy since I was old enough to appreciate Wimbledon and tennis for what it is.

    Alcaraz taken to a fifth set. He looks a beaten man right now.

    I tell a lie, he's serving for the match now at 5-1 up.
