Wimbledon

[stubbo-admin]

Off to Wimbledon today....had a look at the players/draw and hadly know a single player. No more the halcyon days of Murray, Federer, Nadal and then latterly Djokovic.

Or the good old days of Agassi, Sampras, Courier etc.

Anyway, anyone we should be looking out for?

[Russ of the BML]

Sinner got lucky last night. Dimitrov was tearing him a new one until he got injured. 

[fraser]

Norrie (with his Welsh & Scottish parents) was born in S Africa and actually raised in NZ
Developed his tennis in the USA college system
Bit of a mongrel then
Might own a house in London but that’s as close as he gets to English

Pot meet kettle 

[Massive Attack]

No one claimed he was English. He's the one that claims to be British. Whatever the mongrel is, he deserves his place in the Quarters.

So we now have to pretend Cameron norrie is British despite the fact he was born in South Africa and then raised in Australia !

No, he regards himself as British which is why he's representing Great Britain. He also happens to have Welsh and Scottish parents and has spent a fair bit of time living in the UK as well. Good luck to him and a decent achievement to get to the Mens Quarters.

The Quarter Finals ...

Cobolli v Djokovic
Sinner v Shelton
Norrie v Alcaraz
Fritz v Khachanov

And the Women ...

Sabalenka v Siegemund
Anisimova v Pavlyuchenkova
Swiatek v Samsonova
Andreeva v Bencic
.

[Fauxstralian]

He has had a MASSIVE stroke of luck especially as he was struggling with an elbow injury himself 
To win it he is going to have to beat Shelton & then likely Djokovic  followed by Alcaraz 
If he can do that he will have earned it

[RootsRadical]

Shame. Looked like Sinner was going out.
If he wins it now will it be tainted?
 

[Fauxstralian]

Dimitrov 2 sets up & 2-2 and injures his pectoral muscle and has to retire
Sinner gets out of jail

Dimitrov serving to go 2 sets up against Sinner

Good to see that Cameron Norrie go through to the Quarters and watch the lanky Chilean crying his eyes out at the end to a chorus of boos.

In the 1992 Wimbledon championships Jeremy Bates made it to the 4th round, narrowly losing to Forget in 5 sets. Forget went on to lose to McEnroe in the quarter finals.  McEnroe would then lose to Agassi in the semi final.  Agassi went on to beat Goran Ivanisevic in the final.

I was going to say the same thing, I’m impartial to tennis, but Gary kept us all up to date, accompanied by the

Sort your act out Gary.

Cliff Richard used to post on the Wimbledon threads a wile back. 
What happened to him?

The old bill are still examining his hard drive under Operation Yewtree.

A tennis thread not started by The Bumming of Gary?

Utter Woke Nonsense.

Thanks, old cork ! .. I have been a bit slack lately

Meanwhile, women's tennis remains amazingly open ;
None of the current top ten have ever won Wimbledon

Making a good fist of this Raducanu. Creating plenty of opportunities...such a shame could sneak the first set.

[Fauxstralian]

Straight sets win for Norrie
Jarry (qualifier) or Fonseca next up for him
If he gets through that likely quarter final opponent…. ALCARAZ

[Swiss.]

Centre court today from 1.30 has matches with Fritz followed by Alcaraz & then Raducanu against the number 1 seed Sabalenka

Court 1 has Norrie v Bellucci as the second match. Norrie the last of the British men left

This is a big chance for Raducanu. A big if she beats Sabalenka but with so many top seeds out and her that part of the draw she has a chance to win it.

Steffi Graf was into the Jesus and Mary Chain and is therefore the best tennis player ever.
