I’ll try to find it on Sounds. I have a feeling his show isn’t available.

I got taken to task for saying that on a post in the Times!
Unbelievable how easy it is to offend these days.
I used to have to try much harder

They were Sue Barker's words after the game. If it's good enough for Barker it's good enough for me.

I hope that a longstanding Wimbledon tradition was maintained this year and that John McEnroe was asked " Can Andy win Wimbledon this year? "

At least we rid “Tiger Tim’s year?”.

Mrs BN9 has just put Wimbledon on the tv, she has not payed any attention to tennis since the last Wimbledon tournament I have a terrible attention span so struggle to watch tennis.

Probably many more people are exactly the same I suppose, bit like only watching football on tv when the World Cup finals are on.

And that is Murray's Greatest Wimbledon Achievement.

 

[Icy Gull]

WTF? Murray plays an under arm serve. Ungentlemanly conduct surely?

I think you should start a poll.

Can understand why they do it but now hyping up Murray first game. His opponent is ranked 250

Close. He is ranked 74

Limited number of tennis fans on here I appreciate, but Wimbledon on a sunny day, there is no better ‘in the flesh’ sporting experience you can get imho, walking around between the courts, the ivy-clad buildings, watching matches up close on smaller courts, standing within feet of players on court, lunch and drinks on the hill, bring your own booze, walking the snooty environs of SW19 with hundreds of other pilgrims on your approach to the venue, marvelling at the money it must cost to live around there etc. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it, tennis fan or not.

Nicely summed up. Had a brilliant day on centre court. Not a huge tennis fan these days as bereft of the characters of yesteryear but would still highly recommend it for the experience. Our tickets brilliant as only 5 rows back from the court just left of centre and opposite the umpire. I thought £75 in the public ballot was a fair price

I was in row D, right of centre . So similar experience of the games. Have not been that close to the players before, as usually a lot higher up.

Really enjoyed the different experience. And three really good games.

The amount of middle aged women oohing and ahhing at each shot in a Murray rally and then when they collectively slide off their seats when he wins a game/set puts me off to be honest.

Had a great day out yesterday at Wimbledon. Managed to get Centre Court tickets for £75 (just got lucky on the official ticket website on Friday afternoon). Great view and experience. Was a shame there were so many empty seats for the start of Raducanu game and the whole of the Murray match. They must be able to come up with a better system to allow people in once a ticket holder has left for the day.

We were gangway 113 row e yesterday and lady in front felt feint which was the second medical interruption play. Thankfully all was well as she later returned to her seat. I have to say that the humidity was pretty high when the roof was across. Amongst the range of famous faces we noted comedian Lee Mack right at the front opposite to us and was only there for about an hour and never reappeared.

This Jubb game with the feisty Aussie is getting a bit 'tasty'.

Kyrgios is his own worst enemy. Never a dull moment

Gangway 111.
Really humid when we got into our seats with the roof closed, it did cool down after a little while. Richard Osman was there through the first 2 matches at least, he had gone missing towards the end of Murray's match.
It felt so different after they had opened the roof for Emma's match TD

Horrible person. Should be banned for his tantrums. Even post match was having a dig at the crowd supporting a Brit.
WTF Did he expect?
Edit.
Nick Kyrgios has admitted he spat in the direction of a "disrespectful" spectator at the end of his five-set victory over Britain's Paul Jubb.
Respect is earned and he is failing.
