TENNIS THREAD- WIMBLEDON- part 3! Will the Plucky Brit make it to the end? Will there be 2 Italian winners at the weekend? Will Cobolli have to move house again?

[Raahh]

We will probably need another thread before the weekend anyway- but these are important questions.

Well, we can't have her fainting and causing a disruption. That would be annoying.

Billie Jean is melting

Her SIL might enjoy it 🤭

It is- Tim really needs to sort the roof out. It over hangs in a stupid way .

I have no doubt she would.

But Kate is at least at the finals- and where is she?

This really has been an impressive re-set from Linda.

5-2 again….

Eek.

I like Sam commentating. What happening to Feli Lopez commentating with her ? She was like a proper fan-girl that year. Bring him back!

That was a very different game to the last 5-2 game.

So hopefully Linda will start better.

Or not.

ooh- here we go again.

Yes. Well donr Linda.

Awww.

Well done Linda!

Well done Linda

Her dad is soaked in sweat

Worthy final. And Linda was the better player, apart from the wobble in the second set. That hold at the beginning of the third set felt like the turning point.

So lovely. I bet she wishes her mum was there. <sob>.

She was- the nerves got to her- but she fought back so well.

I do feel for Karolina- but it's been a great tournament for her.

Great match didn't mind who won both players were good but Linda deserved this

So many Czech players. There are about 9 Czech women in the top 70.

Stop it Martina!

I appreciate how Wimbledon just cracks on with the trophy ceremony.

I thought the umpire did well- there were a lot of nervy moments- and there were no unnecessary time violations (which shouldn't happen in a final, unless they really are taking the piss).

Oh god, yes. No lengthy speeches from sponsors and flag waving. And singing.

Oh, bless her.
