Before Andy Murray came along, Tim Henman was probably the only decent British player of my lifetime. And he wasn't even a good top player. It was a huge deal when he reached the Semi-final. So Andy Murray surpassed him by a country mile. Totally different league of player.

The Scot lost

God this match is practically unwatchable with that women sounding like a strangled cat everytime she hits a ball

meanwhile my top 2 faves into the fourth round


JPEG winning easily over Cocciaretto in 6-4, 6-0 :eek: a bagel from our Jessie, whew Jessie opening up her Buffalo Bakery on that poor italian :clap1:



Swiatek steady and remaining calm vs Martic winning with 6-2, 7-5

:amazed:

It’s odd that some players scream and grunt whilst others are perfectly silent

My Dream Wifey Pegula in the quarter finals :clap1: :clap1: :clap1: not bad while she usually hates grass court


6-1, 6-3 over ukrainian Tsurenko

whew :dazzler: what a fight and such a strong convincing win :love: am so proud

I feel sorry for Azarenka, there's no need to take anything Russia-Ukraine related out on her. I dislike Svitolina for whipping that up as well tbh

Hope it's a Rybakina-Swiatek final and Rybakina wins

Yes..it looked like the Russian girl did not want to shake her hand…hence she was booed off court..now we are aware it was the other way around. This is Sport not about the conflict…

me hoping for a Rybakina-Pegula final and Pegula winning her first slam


but no matter what, i'm proud, she already did better here on grass than i was expecting her to :love:

going well so far for Jessie her quarter final

4-6, 6-2 and currently leading 3-1

I’m only dipping into Wimbledon but apart from the odd one here and there the top players seem to be all from either Russia , Ukraine or Belarus !!!!?

Edit … and Kazakhstan



Edit 2 .. I’ve noticed a minority of these women have horrendous tattoos ( and poorly placed as well ) .. imho

umm no

Swiatek was a shock exit for sure yes, losing to Svitolina and dutch coach Raemon Sluiter


but Pegula well i'm proud of her for being the first american player in the last 25 years having made it to quarter finals on all 4 slams now, her loss in the doubles i feel more sad about, another missed opportunity of becoming doubles no.1 of the world :(



think the final could be Rybakina vs Svitolina, and Rybakina is deffo hungry to win those important points this time around unlike last year with no points to be earned here

Rybakina :cheer:

shame on you Madison :facepalm: losing to that vile belarusian Lukashenko puppet

Told you .. they’re dominating ….

Edit apart from Medvedev who’s just hit a road bump in Christopher Eubanks who’s rated about 278th in the world or something b!!

Eubanks is playing some marvellous tennis and the crowd absolutely LOVE him ..

He's been great to watch this tournament (even though he beat Cam Norrie :laugh:)

Blimey .. Rube and his mum both look proper miserable beggars

Gutted Eubank went out…what a great match.

At least he’s set a new record for winners at Wimbledon !!

Beating Agassi’s record from decades ago

Alcaraz safely through to the semis !!

No sign of that injury he was carrying last week ..

Can’t abide Clare Balding .. why on Earth have her presenting tennis ?

Her specialty is horses .. she also does Crufts I think … overkill

women's final

Aryna Sabalenka vs Marketa Vondrousova

Djokovic winning so far.

Cheeky Italian Sinner Slipping in his own sweat


Roof is Over so Humid in there

Djokovic

Has Won, of course

On about 40 years it will all come out about him and this gluten-free scam ..

Was quite a weak and poor semi final sadly for me
After many great battles on the way to the final stages.

Terrible Ladies Final

Both non champs


Czech Republic's Vondrousova Vs Tunisia's Jabeur

Horrific choice of tattoos and placings though

Gutted for Ons

My Jessie having lost to the eventual champ then :flutter:



and a dutch wheelchair final :D


our powerhouse no.1 of the world Diede de Groot :worship:

Just caught a few more highlights.. it looks like a two year old has drawn all over her whilst she was asleep !!

I actually like some tattoos but only the good ones

These are some of her better ones imho

What do you lot think ?

Ons just didn’t look athletic enough or anything like fit enough .. she had power and great technique but the other young lady was able to cover the court so much better .


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

her "tattoos" are genuinely tragic

she looks like a Bulgarian prossie

:skull:

Sad to say they are really bad, hope tomorow's one is more professionally done.

Today the Final


The Most Important match.

But this a Very Fit 20 year old Carlos
who has climbed that ladder to the top position.

Fighting the 36 Year Real Tennis Champ Djokovic

So they have played before.


Carlos got Cramp in France
buggered his match.
