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.

meanwhile my top 2 faves into the fourth round


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



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

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

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…

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

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

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