TENNIS THREAD- WIMBLEDON 25- It's the FINALS countdown....

[Raahh]

What’s with all the singing in the stands? Annoying!

Some of the matches have started to sound more like football matches- mostly the ones on the outside courts involving Brazilians or Italians.

I suppose there might be a more 'informal' vide to the wheelchair final than some of the other ones- but it's still a final!

Have a great time, Chessie. I'm watching that match - haven't spotted you - yet! 😁

Lovely to watch something with no commentart!

All the money paid out for the main events- and the amounts given to the wheelchair events winners seem like nothing. Not even half as much as the losers get in the first round of the main draw singles. Per pair. for the winners.

And it's got to be an expensive sport to keep up with- the chairs do not come cheap.

Have a great day Chessie - keep hydrated!

Thanks for the article impossible - I do really miss Rafa - he does sound as if he’s happy and content now which is good - his involvement in Saudi sport doesn’t sit comfortably with me though

I’m glad to hear that he is spending the summer in Mallorca - there may be some stalking opportunities coming up 👀

That’s so unfair. They need someone like Billie Jean to kick up a fuss.

men's doubles at 1 today

Fizzy - no, Rafa's involvement in Saudi sport made me uncomfortable. I found the 6 Kings thing all very odd indeed.

Not going so well for Alfie and Gordon in this tie break.

It’s a bit rude calling Martin Mr. Vamos

Watching Kamiji v Wang, women’s singles wheelchair tennis. The commentator said it’s such a shame the tower flats are in the background and that they're “carbuncles”. Oh sorry people live there! So out of touch - don’t you know what happened when they tried to make Grenfell Tower less “carbuncle”? The cladding crisis.

Really enjoying the match. I didn’t realise there was SO much tennis at Wimbledon. I watched and played as a kid and as an adult just watched highlights. This is the first time I’m watching it all the time. I like it!

I’m just behind where Katie and Thomas are sitting, green and white dress and bright red tomato face!

I'm just watching this - the two balls in play was funny

Rinky is dinky.

I mean, he isn't really. To real people. Just tennis players

I was disappointed that the Six Kings thing is happening again this year, I thought it was a one off.

doubles is exciting!

Ice I thought it was a one off- and that is disappointing. I know it's not exactly a week long event, but it's still extra matches. So, its hard to then listen to players complain about the packed schedule, when they are adding to it with unnecessary things like this.

But of course... Money.

Well done Martin and Ruben

It's a shame for Alfie and Gordon- but they have won quite a bit

They didn’t get to say much

It’s great to see a big crowd there

Shame for Alfie and Gordon.

Watching the men's doubles final. Some fantastic rallies, great reflexes.

Rinky and Pel are better than this match suggests.

Who's our money on for the ladies final today? 🤔

I'm expecting it to be Swiatek in straight sets
would love to see a three set thriller
