Alcaraz is f***ing box office, absolute flair master

Love watching him
He is indeed. I also enjoy watching Medvedev. He's warmed on me a lot recent years due to his humble and witty post match interviews. Plus his defensive play is unbelievable sometimes. Always enjoy Alcaraz Vs Medvedev, nice clash of styles.

Huge semi starting and court is half empty. Tickets for today were £200 plus why on earth would you miss the start of game Over half hour break since last game

Tbf it's going to last maybe 3 or 4 hours, missing the first 10 minutes or so after watching a 3 hour match isn't a massive hardship

I don't want to know about your huge semi!

Jokes aside too many people are there for the nose bag and Pimms. Two years ago we struck gold in the ballot and for about £100 quid each we got centre court tickets for the opening day about 5 rows behind the umpire. We were glued to our seats and whilst not massive tennis fans it was a great experience. However, I was amazed at the number of people up and down missing large chunks of play simply to get a drink. Posing and boozing seemed more important than the tennis.

It's just the same at other tournaments around the world.
I've been many times to Wimbledon and Eastbourne and to be fair if you need a piss or a bite to eat you can't stay in your seat the whole time. And, funnily enough, there are queues for the food and the loos.

Alcaraz absolutely bottles his service game serving for the title, losing from 40-0
