More competition from more countries these days & don’t think tennis is as popular with kids as it was in those days.
Think DeMinaur is 9th in the world but haven’t a genuine contender since Hewitt & Rafter 20 years ago

Fauxstralian - What's happened to men's tennis in Australia? Laver, Emerson, Rosewell, Newcombe, Hewitt, Rafter etc won loads of grand slams between them??

Nick Kyrgios in an England team hoodie with a Phil Foden haircut
Alcaraz 2 months past his 21st birthday with 2 Wimbledon’s, & a French & US Open
Some of the others need to step up or he will be racking them up

I know she's getting on a bit but doesn't the Duchess of Kent normally attend and present the trophy to the women's final?

I see the Princess of Wales will attend the mens final but there was no Royal attendance for the womens final
Meanwhile the Prince of Wales will be in Berlin
Surely both should have been in Australia watching the WALES rugby team?
Alcaraz v Djokovic ... reckon it might be Alcaraz in 4 or 5

Correct about the Sampras era, I think only one of his finals went to five sets which is dominant even in comparison to Borg who had three of his five wins going to five sets. It's characters though and it's the same with most sports, they are all so professional and robotic these days it's not quite as fun as Connors and McEnroe slagging each other off from both sides of the net!
Pleased for Krejcikova today though, nice tribute to Jana Novotna.

Re: Wimbledon 2024

These individual sports come down to the appeal to the public and the quality of a few individuals creating rivalries
It’s the end of a golden era of Federer, Nadal & Djokovic and you are looking at the likes of Alcaraz & Sinner (& hopefully others) to step up. The generation of 25yo’s have been a disappointment hence the big 3 dominating into their mid 30’s
There are always ebbs & flows but you want at least 2 or 3 at the same level.
My recollection of the Sampras era was that it was a one man show at Wimbledon… think he won 7 out of 8

A bit like golf, there seems to be a lack of interest in this shit these days, the fact that it's more interest in seeing who is there watching says it all. Haven't seen a single stroke yet, so to speak, but if it's an Alcarez Jock final I might have a look Sunday before the game.

The standard of tennis has gone down ridiculously in recent years . Cannot name a woman player now . Even in the Federer Nadal djorkavic and Murray era .it Lacked the depth of the Borg McEnroe lendl Connors Becker edberg agassi and and Sampras era .
