Tennis - 2020- As Wimbledon-that-Wasn't draws to a close, we look forward to ... maybe ... tennis in August?

[Raahh]

Or just more wheelie bin challenges?

Private
He's memorable, is Pete.

oh, Goran. So happy for him. Sad for Pat though.

No it doesn't surprise me tbh!

What about the Richard Krajicek win - nobody ever mentions that!!

Ah AC's "the waiting is over" line was used in 2001 by JB!

I know - poor Pat

Ah I can't wait to see this match no2 again - it's been so long!

I'm just thinking about how these two used to be all over the papers. Don't really see that kind of interest in tennis players any more.

Got a bit lost, the Krajicek match, didn't in the 'crossover -ish' bit of the 80s.

Best remembered for the streaker at the beginning. That was that match, wasn't it?

*90s

No that's true Jane - I remember Mac being front page news!! Can't really imagine that now.

Our old friends the stoners

The streaker was the Krajicek final, yes! 96 - Atlanta Olympics year. I did absolutely nothing that summer but play tennis and watch sport. Nothing. Those were the days!

Jane

They were like rockstars, people cared about their girlfriends, and all sorts.

Tennis players today are not playboys like they were in the 70s.

The wildest they get is staying up all night on their play station like Kyrgios.

Or cavorting in nigtclubs during a pandemic.

Private that was meant to be my summer plans for this year .

I've just thought that Novak has been all over the papers- but for all the wrong - not sexy- reasons.

It had to be this one, couldn't be any other.

Look at him, in his long shorts.

So- if this has been voted the best final of all time, and Rafa won it, can be pretend he won Wimbledon 2020?

It was unbelievable, no?

seems fair

Yes good point Raahh

Private I think so. There's a certain logic to it.

I still can't believe this ended up going to 5 sets.

He was 2 sets up. He had match points.

It was so tense to watch.

Poor Gwen thought she was getting out of there.

Bloody Gavin. He was like a Jack-in-a-Box.

Yaaasss! Vamos!!

Finally!

So dark!

They better had be, Sue.

I can't cope with another fortnight of Henmania!
