[Misc] Wimbledon 2021

Just curious about what they do with all the (nearly-new) balls? They seem to get through a lot of them.

There's a kiosk near Centre Court where they sell them from about half an hour after play starts. They only use them for 7 games but they still take a right old battering.

Isn't it 9 games? First change of balls is on 7 as they've been used in the warm up.

Is that who it is? I was wondering why they'd got Sean Ryder in to do the punditry...

Murray up now. Tim Henman on court side, bloody hell he’s hardly aged at all

 

[Randy McNob]

Murray should really jack it in, he is only going to be a shadow of the player he was, he did Wimbledon cos they will give him a wild card as he's a crowd puller and you can get a few easy games at the start, but so what? Just retire and be a pundit or coach

Radacanu wins. Great stuff. New British tennis star as long as she stays off social media!

 

[Hampster Gull]

What a star, a new British superstar in the making. And reflective of modern Britain, born in Toronto, Romanian and Chinese parents, moving here when she was two and making her own way.

Went to school round the corner from us in Orpington.

Same school as Dina Asher-Smith I believe.

She is going to be huge. I suggested earlier in the thread that the hill could be renamed Radacanu Ridge. It would seem that the commentator reads NSC.

 

[Robinjakarta]

She really is good. Great match and win!

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Has all the traits to be a star.

Her attitude was unbelievable, considering how inexperienced she is. So many great winners against a quality in form opposition and brilliant athletic returns.

Tonight was definitely a "remember the name" moment in British sport.

Agree completely. Except for the ;tonight' bit.

It won't be long now before the media shorten her christian name or put a letter before a shortened surname (G-Mac, the golfer)
I see Cameron is now Cam as he has won a few matches.
I hope they leave her well alone as she looks like a future champion yet she is so young.

Corrie on a comeback? Taken the third set off the mighty Federer. Federer 2-1 up

Can we have an Englishman winning a big game at Wimbledon after the earlier stunning win by Radacanu?

Who needs a Sweatie to get behind?

No. Norrie is Scottish

Unlikely but would be great.

Edit.
Just seen he is Scottish!
Come on Roger!

NOOOO

COME on Federer

Emma Raducanu just about to start.

Emma

 

[Icy Gull]

We are hours behind Scotland. Emma Radacanu is not up for a while here in England

Bloody Zverev and his unfeasible comebacks.
