McEnroe appearing as himself makes it canon.

True!

Yeah I saw that movie. Kirsten looked damn good in that Wimbledon gear.

Well if you say so Plus I think the first shot of her is when she steps out of the lavatory naked when Bettany’s character accidentally goes into her hotel suite.

I felt bad for Rafter. He probably thought it was his year with Sampras out (beaten by Federer if memory serves)

Surely a case where both players deserved to win (but of course that can apply to others as well). But yeah can’t help but feel for Rafter too. Haha yeah a bloke came along and ousted Sampras in the fourth round

Wimbledon main draw starts tomorrow!!!

Good ‘ole Murray, this always cracks me up

Nothing like eating first breakfast while watching matches in the morning, I had strawberry pancakes with whipped cream on top accompanied by a fruit bowl and caramel laced coffee, goes scrumptious with watching Wimbledon especially !!

Play suspended due to rain!

Venus Williams ousted by Svitolina in the first round, a bit sad since it would’ve been nice to see Williams have a decent run with her wildcard, but such is the game..

I wonder will this be the year when we see a changing of the guard in the men's? Alcaraz is looking good.

 

[Zurdo95D]

I'd say when Djokovic is close to retirement

Well done to Djokovic for doing it again, he is the king of tie breaks. I kinda wanted it to go into the second day for the entertainment but fair play the best man won

Novak on course for another Slam! Crazy to think he is unbeaten at Wimbledon since 2018. Tbh I dont see anyone beating Novak in the slams this year, only thing that can derail him is injury.
I make him big favourite for the US Open to.
You have to think 30 Slams is probably in his sights, still got a good two - three years left in him.

Lol yeah. Maybe when Novak hits mid-life crisis time.

Yeah, Venus done well but you could kind of see her body creaking.

I was hoping to see Wawa get a decent Wimbledon run since he's one of my favorites, but there's no stopping The Djokovic it seems lol

Much agreed

Could be true

Yeah, Venus done well but you could kind of see her body creaking.

Yep, as the saying goes, "The hands of time stop for no one." Or, "Father Time remains undefeated." But such is the passage of life..

Ooo, Murray lost a tough five-setter against Tsitsipas, a bit sad to see Murray ousted, but credit to Tsitsi for pulling through in some of the big points in the match.

Just for fun, a gif of Murray with a pup!

Yeah, I dont think Murray will get back to his best anymore, too many injuries and surgery. Still an incredible career. If he had been in a different era without the big 3 he might of won double figure slams.

Agreed on all Yep, Murray definitely could have won more if it not were for the Big 3.

He's practically a cyborg with his metal hip, no?

Britain's Ladies No. 1 Katie Boulter def. by top seed Rybakina, which by now there aren’t any more of GB's players left on either of the Women's or Men's singles sections.. But there's still doubles!

Yeah we've failed again this year lol

 

[Zurdo95D]

Yeah we've failed again this year lol

Well the US hasn’t gotten a singles slam title since 2003 for the Men’s (2017 for Women’s), and GB‘s are more recent: 2016 for Men’s and 2021 for Women’s.

It's hard to see past the great man winning it again alright, he's like a machine.

Still though i've money on Alcaraz to beat him in the final, and on Kvitova to win the Ladies.
