It has been great - there are players I wish had done better- Jasmine/Barbora/Holger/Matteo

Players I wish had been there- Casper, Lorenzo,

Well done Jannik - it's a great rivalry. (now- since Carlos had won the last 6 (?))

It was lovely of Carlos’ brother and some of his team to go upstairs to congratulate Jannik. Good human persons.

Missing Wimbles already. 2 weeks isn’t long enough!

This is an article about the secret hairdressers inside Wimbledon to help them get ready for the Championships Ball

I really enjoyed that, especially the photos, thank you

EasternStandard · 13/07/2025 21:24

I was just looking at an article on celeb fashion there. Quite a few turn up, lucky things.

Yes! I suppose the ladies champion has a full day to get ready as opposed to the Gents champion just has to have a shower and throw on a tux supplied by their sponsor

Not the doubles ladies though! In previous years they’d go straight there. Maybe the timing change is actually to give them a chance to get ready Grin

I don’t know what they were thinking Jane - does Points of View still exist? Grin

Seriously though I do usually really enjoy watching the balcony scene and then listening to the theme tune for the final time and they just rushed it and cut it short!

I’ll stop moaning now - it’s still been a great Wimbledon

iplayer had Andrew Castle commentating for the balcony scene. Agree it was poor from the beeb not to extend coverage on the main channel til the very end when you see the player go out of shot. Couldn't believe they did that (Claire Balding knew also hence her saying it would be shown later) but luckily enough had iplayer on so was able to switch over to the other channel.

The standard of the men's final was top notch. Well into double figures in wow moments. So pleased Sinner won it given how close he came at the French. There is absolutely nothing between them. It's a rivalry set for the next 7/8 years.

It needed a good mens final as that yesterday was a joke. Swiatek is elite, but she needs an elite rival, and there just isn't anyone else that has her class in the women's game. She had a poor 13 months resulting in her ranking of 8, but can see her getting better now she has the big one under her belt. It should free her up, and she should be looking at reaching 10 slams in no time.

Ahhh maybe that was the logic! The double will finish by 3:30pm so you haven’t least 3.5 hours to get all glam. But be a bit if I win this is what I’ll wear but try to be a bit chill don’t want to jinx it.

BakeOffRewatch · 13/07/2025 21:48

Congratulations Sinner. I haven’t watched the gentlemen’s singles final yet, that’s my plan for tomorrow morning. Another 3+hr match. I’ve just caught up on the comments and have noted things to look forward to.

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 13/07/2025 21:52

It was scheduled to be until 9 p.m. according to my Sky planner earlier, so they had no excuse to cut it short.

BakeOffRewatch · 13/07/2025 22:05

I think Andreeva v Swiatek would have been good. I really admire Andreeva’s consistency and cool head whilst she plays. I’ve just googled and Mirra defeated Iga in March at the Indian Wells tournament. They’ve met three times, and Mirra defeated Iga in both of the 2025 games. www.wtatennis.com/head-to-head/331809/326408

Andreeva is my new one to watch. I saw her being interviewed the other day and I really warmed to her.

Fizzywinegum · 14/07/2025 06:56

I’ve seen pictures of Jannik and Iga dancing at the Wimbledon ball - I think Jannik seems a bit more into it than Iga does Grin

ChessieFL · 14/07/2025 07:33

Morning all! I didn’t get to see much of the men’s final yesterday as I was doing things in London but I did see the end on the train. Pleased for Jannik and thought Carlos and his team were very gracious, in his speech and applauding Jannik. Glad those on CC got more for their money than Saturday’s crowd!

ChessieFL · 14/07/2025 07:33

I saw those pictures too Fizzy, they do look a bit awkward!

Raahh · 14/07/2025 07:55

The dance pictures are funny!Grin

I doubt Jannik will be eating pasta with Iga any time soon.

I've just seen that StanBear is in doubles action in Gstaad later, so that's nice (assuming Sky show any of itHmm). First singles match should be on UK time at 9.30. Grin
Otherwise I might actually have to find something useful to do, and that would neve do Grin.

I’m attempting to restore the house post Wimbledon (not that it was that clean before) it’s supposed to be cooler today but I’m still hot!

magimedi · 14/07/2025 08:19

Love the dance pictures & love Iga's dress.

I have deffo got to do stuff today and it's only going to be 25C! A great relief.

ChessieFL · 14/07/2025 08:21

The odd thing about Stan’s doubles match is that his partner, Henry Bernet, is due to play doubles with Stan in Gstaad at around 2.30 but is also due to play singles in Bastad at around 1.30. If he can manage that it’s very impressive!

It is possible there’s two players with the same name and/or I’m just confused (very likely).

That really will be an achievement for Bernet Chessie Grin
Maybe he has a Tardis

Could you please share a link? I’m just starting up Alcaraz v Sinner

magimedi · 14/07/2025 08:57

Thanks for that article @impossibletoday . I totally agree.

I think it's a great shame they didn't mention Sam Smith who I think is a great commentator.

Why does it have to be men commentating on the mens' final? Martine & Sam would have been better

Raahh · 14/07/2025 09:02

AC has been annoying for years now. I don't know why it has taken them this long to catch up to the fact.
They had Feli Lopez on the team the other year- Sam Smith was star struck Grin but he was great.
I don't see the point of Isa. She's useless. She vanished in the second week, and no-one noticed.
And they don't want to hold up TNT coverage as something to aspire to- they were dire at RG- and the fact they hired Dick speaks volumes. (He put an asterix as his only comment on the final this morning).
Andre was great, I liked the technical stuff , and the lack of waffle.

In other news , because AC loves gossip- TP has got engaged to his neck hugging girl friend. I'm sure he will feature in some of the wedding pictures.
