@derxa I'm sorry to hear that and to me the vaccination was an individual choice but you can't then expect to circumnavigate the rules laid down by individual countries with regard to their entry requirements.

This. He obviously has the right to decide whether to have the vaccine or not but then don’t complain because you’re restricted from certain places.

Plus holding a tournament in the middle of a pandemic where many people then caught covid was not the most sensible thing to do.

I switched off when they announced John Loyd, Peter Fleming and Inverdale as commentators Hmm - surely there must be some younger (more competent) commentators about!

Foolisophy you can also enter into the ballot for centre and no 1 court tickets. You have to be registered with MyWimbledon by September I think. As it’s a ballot it’s luck of the draw if you get tickets and you can’t choose the day or court

The weather here is doing my head in Sad

Same here Jane - heavy rain again - going to a ‘gig’ tonight but the settee is looking very appealing!

I liked best of 5 doubles finals. Sad

VERY heavy rain has just hit us too. The dog is watching it bounce. I am glad I brought the washing in half an hour ago.

Have muted the tennis as the commentators are so very annoying.

I was disappointed with this final too - as I was with last year's women's final. I was really hoping for a long drawn out three setter with no idea until about 4 all in the third set. Instead it was pretty obvious half way through the second set that it wasn't going to go on much longer.

I didn't enjoy last year's men's final either with the stupid antics of what was his name Kyrgios? I am glad he's not in this year. I hope for a good five set men's match tomorrow.

Luckily the roof put a stop to Cliff’s singing at Wimbledon SavoryGrin

Apparently even Inverdale said these three commentating were like Last of the Summer Wine Hmm

Yay we’ll done Skupski/Koolhof!

Skupski looks more like Koolhoff than his own brother!

JaneJeffer · 15/07/2023 17:36

I know it is always the case ....but it annoys me every year that the doubles are classed a lower status !

Well done Wes and Neal. I see Ken delayed his Ibiza holiday Grin
Yes, wonder why the presentation was on court, rather than the Royal Box? Maybe because the royal had buggered off Hmm

Well done also to Hewett and Reid. Hope Alfie can do the double tomorrow!
