Any tennis fans?

Will this be a year of surprises and any British heroes.

My first ever trip to Wimbledon for Court 1 on Tuesday.

At least you can bring food and some booze with you unlike Lytham!
 
Hoooray it's the time of the year that all the hooray Henry's come out as Tennis fans yet nobody talks about any other slams.

Alcaraz to win the mens. Don't even know any female players anymore.
 
Been twice it really is a magical place. As 20s says can't see beyond Djokovic (unfortunately) and that's the problem. We have been spoiled with the competitive nature of men's tennis and now there is one left standing and will continue to dominate for a couple of years.
 
You'll have a great time, it's a real experience, had centre court tickets on the first Tuesday a few years ago, you can watch the outside courts too so if there is a Brit playing you can go and cheer them on.

Court 1 has a retractable roof too so you won't miss anything as there is rain forecast tomorrow.
 
I’ve got Centre Court tickets for Friday this week.

I had a dream that Casper Ruud lifted the men’s title!
 
I have a mate who is a top coach and his partner works for the LTA so have been a few times, great place and experience the first time it blew me away.

I’m hoping Alcaraz for the men’s and for a good run from AM.
 
Dart recovered to win the first set from a break down, but now 0-3 in the second! Come on Heather!!!

Cameron Norrie on Court 1 tomorrow along with mens No 1 seed ( Alcatraz) from Spain
 
Alcaraz is putting on a display against Chardy that could well attract the attention of the RSPCTP (Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Tennis Players).

Poor you . A long way to go and no sunshine in sight. Hope you still had a decent day. I went years ago and saw the McEnroe Connors final. Not much of a final as it turned out. McEnroe strolled it in straight sets

We are under cover and making a few days out of it.
Complimentary tickets too
 
Broady just brushed aside the 4th seed in the final set 6-0, Boulter through and Murray on later against the 5th seed Tsitipas.
 
I remember when I could name loads of players in the 70's and 80's now I struggle to name any of them apart from Djokovic and as for the women
 
Looks like Fiona Bruce and the Question Time panel are going to have to spend longer than expected in Fleetwood at this rate. Poor buggers.
 
Must be horrible to play Murray. What he lacks in finesse or (yes I know he's still world class) or not at his best he makes up for in sheer doggedness.
 
I doubt we'll see another Murray from this country, he's not got many of these left either, by all rights shouldn't be able to do this, hard as ** nails. One of our greatest ever sportsman.

And Tippytaps has always been a bit of a cheating tit.

Loved that. Hate this "curfew" malarky for posh people living nearby. Should carry on till 4am like in the Aussie Open.

I would agree but if Murray has a bit of something from that slip then it may be a good thing he gets some treatment and some rest although he seemed to be moving okay as he walked off, he never fails to astound, if he wins this he could possibly get to the final, I would love to see that happen
 
Andy Murray has really courage unlike the vast majority of British sports stars.

I've always had total respect.
