2019 Wimbledon Championships

[Nicky91]

i know there is the tennis thread, but i just thought the only Grand Slam tournament held in UK deserves a special thread on here

https://www.careeranna.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/image.jpg

title defenders are

with the men: Novak Djokovic

with the women: Angelique Kerber



so is anyone going to this sports event, which starts from 1st to 14th of July

[Lewismacfarlane]

I think Andy Murray might do well this time

[Nicky91]

I think Andy Murray might do well this time

did he come back from retirement then :o

[Lewismacfarlane]

did he come back from retirement then :o

Hes not retired yet hes retiring after Wimbledon

[Nicky91]

Hes not retired yet hes retiring after Wimbledon

he's got no match rhythm so i doubt he's a contender here, more likely a Round 1 exit for him i think

[Nicky91]

but i myself follow more WTA than ATP honestly


Konta is still having some good matches lately, but maybe some of the new generation could surprise again, like they did at roland garros


Halep well she's done for now, end of her career probably

Wozniacki is also at end of her career


Serena and Venus end of their careers, with Venus maybe the one who might sneak up there like a Pennetta did at US Open few years back

[Nicky91]

first batch of wildcards announced, more to come though

ATP:
- Marcos Baghdatis (CYP)
- Jay Clarke (GB)
- Paul Jubb (GB)
- James Ward (GB)
- Feliciano Lopez (ESP)
- Dominik Kopfer (GER)


WTA
- Harriet Dart (GB)
- Katie Swan (GB)
- Monica Niculescu (ROM)

Monday's match schedule for all courts

[Denver]

Konta letting us down again

[Shaun]

Konta letting us down again

No faith in her, smh

[Denver]

No faith in her, smh

You cant blame me for doubting with her Wimbledon history

[Denver]

Felt so sorry for Dan, sexy guys dont deserve to lose

[Black Dagger]

Coke head.

[Twosugars]

Andy and Serena started off ok

[michael21]

did he come back from retirement then :o

I forgot that

[Denver]

Konta needs to stop playing with us losing the first set then seem rolling through

[Nicky91]

Poor Gauff just now, but anyway she is a good talent, and nice surprise at wimbledon this year a 15 yr old getting as far as round 4

but anyway Halep will be now ''quarter final is enough'' especially against Zhang who already had beaten halep before recently :fan:

Ant mcpartlin was there did you see him

[Nicky91]

Ant mcpartlin was there did you see him

on tv you can't really quite spot celebs that well on the stands :laugh:

Yes she tried hard
Just 15years old , she did well
to get that far.

[Denver]

This isnt good enough she should be dasily beating her

[Denver]

We will never get another womens Wimbledon champ

[Nicky91]

Halep has won wimbledon this year, she has so much luck on her side now :rolleyes:

[Denver]

What an embarrassment.

She had no better chance to win then this year and let us down again

[Nicky91]

also losing against strycova who is considered to have one of the weakest mentalities on tour :joker:

Serena vs Simona final would be nice i guess, and i think this serena is beatable for Halep compared to all other times they faced


but first Svitolina for Halep, elina can choke massively too so it is a 50/50 match whoever wants it more and has more luck

serena vs strycova well either strycova can peak or choke


i say ''choke'' but that is a legit tennis term when someone has a awful game with loads of errors

[Black Dagger]

What an embarrassment.

She had no better chance to win then this year and let us down again

I don't think she plays tennis to please you hun.

[Denver]

I don't think she plays tennis to please you hun.

Well she should be putting on a better effort then she did today that's for sure

[MTVN]

Halep :worship:

[MTVN]

Halep playing some great tennis :hee:

[Nicky91]

Halep playing some great tennis :hee:

and that on grass court :eek:

can remember some years ago she went out first round at wimbledon against a Cepelova


tomorrow we get Federer vs Nadal at the men's

and Djokovic faces first time semi finalist Bautista :)

[Denver]

Serena should be embarrassed losing to that

[Denver]

Serena needs to retire she is playing like an old lady

[Nicky91]

Serena should be embarrassed losing to that

lol, serena should be Lucky she had at least made a final again ;)

she's getting older you know, having returned from pregnancy so this is the right steps forward and i can see her doing well with maybe a slam title at US Open this year at least i am seeing her as a favourite there

[Denver]

Now she has money she should get a nose job

[MTVN]

Yessss

[MTVN]

Ahh I'm so happy for her, the nicest woman in tennis <3

[MTVN]

Halep well she's done for now, end of her career probably


A moments silence for Nickys pre-tournament prediction

[Beso]

:skull: last time i made a pre-tournament prediction lol

[Shaun]

Hopefully Roger can amend this result tomorrow :fc:

[hijaxers]

Missed the ladies final sadly had to go out but i hear Serena was outplayed good and proper , shame i wanted her to win .

Deffo be watching mens final tomorrow.

[Mystic Mock]

A shame about the way that Serena lost today, I'd have personally wanted to have seen a closer match, but never mind there's always the US Open for her to try and dominate.

And it's nice to see Halep win Wimbledon for the first time so I am happy with the Women's results overall.

I'm really excited for the men's final tomorrow as two great Tennis players going up against each other should mean a Federer vs Nadal type of close game, hopefully.

[joeysteele]

Brilliant men's doubles final today.
One of the most gripping matches I've watched.

I was glad Halep won today too.
Always nice to see the reaction of the first title win.
She was well on her best form and sadly Williams seemed to fade today.

Like Mock, I am too looking forward to the battle of the giants in the Men's final tomorrow.

[arista]

The Men's Final is so close.


its gone over time

[joeysteele]

Great match.
What a battle.

[arista]

Djokovic
is younger

Federer is so far matching him

[arista]

Djokovic is getting Angry now


They are Still EVEN

[arista]

Lucky Sod

[DouglasS]

Losing all three sets in tiebreakers

[Beso]

[Beso]

Me too...and what a finish on the cricket :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

Absolutely fantastic..wish I had went out for the day up near Lords.

[joeysteele]

I was hoping Federer would have taken it but brilliant match.

Wonder how long it would have gone on without the final set tie break.

Well done indeed to Djokovic though.

[Cherie]

Great contest, gutted for Federer

His legs look like a certain member from TIBBS did just after the millennium :joker:

[LaLaLand]

Well done Novak, brilliant final! Both my absolute faves so didn't mind who won. :clap2:

[AnnieK]

What an afternoon of sport. Am exhausted just watching it. Devastates for Fed but he played amazingly and made up for England...

[Mystic Mock]

Great match, I'm happy that Djokovic won, but it's always good to watch a 5 set match, especially when it's someone who excels on Grass like Roger Federer as he is one of the last of his kind really to not be a hard court player along with a few others, so I appreciate what he brings to the game.

But yeah what a match.

The grand prix was a great opener..then the tennis and cricket..I was like. .what do I watch.

I saw Mahut losing his temper during the match.:joker:

I can't say that I blame him tbf with how hot yesterday was.

[Beso]

I'm sure it was 11 11 in the final set and England needed 15 from nine balls in the cricket..luckily I saw both wins

[Beso]

I see prince Andrew presented the trophy..I cant think of a cricket term so I will just say
...why is he having sex with teenage girls in the middle of the pitch.

[AnnieK]

The grand prix was a great opener..then the tennis and cricket..I was like. .what do I watch.

I watched the tennis and followed the cricket scores with regular phone updates from my dad who eats, lives and breathes cricket.....he was sure we'd blown it! Switched over at the end of the tennis in time for the super over. What a finish....forget football, THIS was super Sunday fir once

It was indeed.

Chuffed to bits for your dad x



If Federer had won though I may have missed the golden over cause I wanted him to win so much for us oldies..I just spat swear words and looked for my remote and hit precious channels...dissapointed at the lack of celabration though...but maybe that's down to being mentally drained after that.

Yeah, Mahut did get rather annoyed didn't he.
