Tennis: WIMBLEDON Final and beyond

[JaneJeffer]

Vamos Carlos!!

Strycova does quite a few body shots.

Come on Barbora/Su-Wei!

The rain!

I can barely hear the strike of the ball over the rain

Yay! Well done!

Wow well done

Hooray! All about the unseeded in the women's draw this year.

The rain was crazy loud!

Fantastic match. And always nice to see right to the end of the fortnight!

Aah, look how happy they are!

Ladies demoted again BBC

This has been a fun two weeks, thank you Jane for all the threads!

I usually manage to watch some of the US Open, and will hopefully remember to check Prime for other tournaments before then.

What an incredible end to Wimbledon for Barbara and Su-Wei

Barbora

Looks like I called it right in the third set just before going to work.

Well done to Carlos Alcaraz for his first Wimbledon trophy!

What a match from Carlos and Novak that was. Will have to catch highlights of sets 4 and 5!

Changing of the guard now, but Novak Djokovic is the best player of our time and maybe all time.

What a match......🎾

Lovely interview at the end there with Carlos in his bucket hat. Nice lad and loves his family. 😎

Wow what a fortnight - when they showed the ‘best bits’ it seemed like forever since that first Monday - it’s been good though

Barbora was so emotional in her speech - glad she got a win in her last Wimbledon

Poor Carlos having to spend some of his evening with Clare - he does seem so lovely though - wonder if he’s going to wear his bucket hat to the Players dinner?

post Wimbledon blues already kicking in 😢

Just getting to see the presentation now. So happy for Barbora.

Just seen the highlights and speeches from the guys.

Once again an incredible match!

Carlos is right about Djokovic - incredible shape! Any other player would have lost the fourth set to him. Carlos has improved massively since the previous defeat against Novak.

Next year will be a corker with these two. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic and Messi and Ronaldo in football....the last decade has seen incredible sporting rivalries!

Will the Djokovic and Alcaraz rivalry do the same?

Exciting!

Well done again to Carlos following in his compatriot's footsteps!

Just watched the highlights which highlighted Djok's awful behaviour, pushing the camera away and mocking the crowd. God he's a dose. So happy Carlos won today. My favourite clip is Andrey getting that return whilst falling over and Bublik standing looking at it in shock

It's been lovely enjoying Wimbledon with you guys.

I’ve really loved the women’s matches this year. Those are the ones that will stuck with me the most I think. I will be bereft next week but I have no excuses not to get on with the stuff that I’ve not done for the last two weeks. And then I can sit down for another fortnight at the end of August. And no Andrew bloody Castle.

I fell asleep and woke up as everything was ending. Very pleased for Barbora.
Very happy about yesterday's events, all round really.
It was a good fortnght- I missed Rafa, but there were still some good matches. Some tight 'nearly' moments- just the odd point here and there and Hubi might have won, for example. I think over the past few months, some good rivalries have started to form- Rune and ADF were my favourite- and Jane Bublik nearly did it
Ons is now in the same position as Casper- 3 slam finals in the last 12 months, and 3 losses. But I think both will get there.

So, last few tournaments that are on at reasonable time to watch Hamburg(squiggle trophy) starts at the weekend, Bastad and Gstaad start today. Newport too, but can't watch that. I think Gstaad is on Prime. This is the 'odd trophy' period- I think the Swiss open trophy is a lump of rock, obviously meant to be a mountain. Leading up to 'ugly vase' in Cincy .

I wonder if Carlos got any sleep?

Ha ha I’m not sure Raahh - I’ve seen pictures of him at the players ball suited and booted so he must have ditched the bucket hat

Now what shall I do today …

I'm a bit disappointed he didn't go to the dinner in his hat
