Re: Wimbledon.

I like watching the tennis but the soft thud thud and July warmth usually put me to sleep

Re: Wimbledon.

Not my cuppa tea at all.
I agree though about when did Judy Murray become a star in her own right.Pushy woman
Still look on the bright side there has been very little rain of late [which my garden do with sorely] so it is bound to rain in Wimbledon fortnight.
LOL,LOL

Re: Wimbledon.

I love Wimbledon, I love tennis! 🎾

I'll be watching it as much as possible.

A football match lasts 90 minutes and a good tennis match can last 4 - 5 hours with just a 2 minute break every few games. I would say that takes a lot more skill and stamina than kicking or running with a ball for 80 - 90 minutes

Come on Andy!

So glad I have cable /smart tv so I can escape it.
It's only on BBC isn't it?

In the past, my big problem was that it was on at the same time as Henley Regatta

The screens at Henley only show ..... Regatta



Nadal's looking very fast and strong.

Well I'm with you Rhosyn. I've been looking forward to it. We went a few years ago and although it was good for the experience, we would much rather watch it on TV.

Re: Wimbledon.

Hi

When I was married I used to love Wimbledon.

The Ex was glued to the TV, the sheer bliss of it,

Two weeks peace and quiet.

Oooooooo ... we nearly went one year, to queue and see if we could get in.
That was before they had big screens and 'Henman's Hill'

I would have loved to see Bjorn playing *drools* and yes the overall experience would have been good.

We were all set to go and the clutch cable in the camper went

It's ok if you are lucky enough to get tickets to one of the good matches but we got women's doubles and were sat at the back. Plus you miss out on any commentary.

Oh yuk ... women's ping-pong

I no longer get freebie tickets for the Henley 'posh' enclosure.

Wimbledon on TV will suffice
