Totally disagree @RaraRachael - they have all the same outgoings as the men but not the same physical strength.

I get paid the same as my male colleagues for doing the same job - I don't do 3/5ths of the work they do.
It's like saying female footballers should only play 60 minutes or cricketers only play 30 overs 🤣

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2022 19:50

Big difference between a football match and five hours of tennis.

We'll have to agree to disagree @JaneJeffer .
What I've enjoyed this year is a return to ladies' tennis with a bit more finesse. I wasn't a fan of the Serena style of play.

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2022 19:55

No let's have a big fight @RaraRachael Grin

I agree about Serena, not a fan!

Aww Elena started crying in her press conference. It finally hit her.

I just hope they don't decide to reduce the 5 set matches for the men. I fear it may go that way eventually. But it's the thing that makes the slams special. (Even the Davis Cup format has altered).

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2022 20:17

Bit of a row in the doubles.

Jane it was a bit of controversy.

Going on ages this match.

Commentators have spent most of it, commenting on the sunset. Grin

I can't believe Pavić is playing with a broken hand Shock It looks really swollen and painful.

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2022 20:29

Oops Grin

Halsall it will be a huge achievement if/when they win this- I hope he does rest his hand afterwards!

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2022 20:32

I haven't watched it all Raahh. There's been a whole Gaelic match done and dusted while this is going on!

Love the crowd.

Jane I missed the beginning because I fell asleepGrin But it's been pretty good so far.

Makes up for the fact the final has been ruined by featuring Djok and Dick. Grin

AndJabeurDancing · 09/07/2022 20:43

Do not agree at all with RaraRachael

We have a power cut so no tennis as I don't have enough battery on my phone to watch.

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2022 20:45

That's a bummer Dancing hope it's back before dark.

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2022 20:52

Aww feel sorry for the Croatians.

Saw the last set and a bit.
Can't believe Pavic has played the last 2 matches with a fractured wrist. He can't do a normal 2 handed backhand, can't change grip. It's amazing what they've achieved given this major setback.

😲😲😲😲 how can you possibly play tennis at all with a fractured wrist???

RaraRachael · 09/07/2022 23:24

I never thought I'd see the day when I would want Djok to Wimbledon 😢

Kezzie200 · 10/07/2022 06:47

Early morning. Off to Wimbledon today.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 10/07/2022 08:19

Am gutted
love the men's final day and today feels like I have to choose whether I want to catch covid or syphilis
Loathe both of them
also want to watch to see Sue B's swan song as I love her presenting but can't bear the thought of either winning
some years I have a favourite other years not so much and just want to see a good game of tennis
this, to quote Mac, is the pits

MrsLargeEmbodied · 10/07/2022 08:40

just caught up on Elena Rybankina press conference.
such a great inspiration
humble player
deflected the inappropriate question about condeming putin.
