Wimbledon

Realise it could just be Dan and I but so what. Love Wimbledon and British teenager Jack Draper’s centre court debut against Novak is a dream for the lad. Literally nothing to lose. Wish I had tickets this year.

I may pop in now and again. I grew up watching Wimbledon. My mother is a big tennis fan. She’d have all TV’s on in the gaf with around the clock coverage. All tv’s were muted so she’d have all the radios tuned to 5 Live for the commentary. 😅

SM001 Great memories mate. Like your mum, Wimbledon and I go right back. First final I remember clearly was Becker Lendl in 86. Believe it or not, I play to a half decent standard 😂

alistair My first memory was the year before - when Becker beat Kevin Curren in the Men’s final. I weirdly remember watching it at a local church fete event that my mum was helping out at.

alistair

vinnyt77 amazing to think he won at 17 and defended at 18. Unlikely to ever be repeated

Dan

alistair Indeed…….Wilander won the French at 17.

I vaguely remember Pat Cash winning it and then Becker and Edberg’s brief rivalry. Agassi in’92 was a great watch. I smashed a few windows playing in the back garden over the years. 😅

I’ll be tuning in.

My best friend is part of the BBC presenting team this year.

alistair bang goes work for the next hour! i can’t stand Djokovic - in fact i don’t think i’ve liked any tennis player since the lightening serve of Roscoe Tanner!

Dan Russell Fuller?

Negative.

I’d really like to see the young Greek win it…him or Berretini.

However I’ll stick my neck out (like Ed) and predict Djokovic will prob win Wimbledon/US Open and take his place as the greatest. I’m not a fan but he has a knack of winning on the biggest stage.
