Wimbledon 2016

Anyone interested?
Once again only 1 Brit makes week 2, in spite of the tournament being behind by a number of matches due to the weather.....
The FA quite rightly come in for stick due the performance of our footballers, but surely the LTA need to be held to account too??......

At least there is some interest in the second week...

Brentford shirt - obviously.
A lOT of cash. Think Twickenham then double it.
Sun glasses so your Mrs doesn't catch you out 'people watching'.

You can normally take a picnic and a bottle (750ml) each of wine, prosecco etc. Stock up before you get there!

Parking is expensive in the official car parks, but you can usually park at St Mary's Church, Wimbledon, a bit cheaper. Proceeds go to charity and it's not far to walk to the ground.

Djokovic out to Sam Querrey. Awkward game with lots of rain delays but Querrey held it together better. This has opened the draw right up and Murray is probably now the favourite with Federer or Nishikori in the final.. Murray's side of the draw looks ok but Del Potro could be tricky if his form and fitness holds up.

That'll please the moody Jock.

Or maybe not.

Djokovic out to Sam Querrey.

What was Djokovic 's problem during his interview or was it he did not like loosing to a player ranked as low as Querrey?

Federer must be laughing in his boots, Murray could have a very difficult next match. To win a tournament you have to beat those who put up against you.

Me too, luckily the lady wife managed centre court tickets.

I had three browsers open and was queuing for Centre, Court 1 and General Access. General Access sold out before Court 1 surprisingly.

I guess people couldn't be bothered to gamble. :shrug:

Kyrgios v Lopez to finish (currently 1 set each) should be a good watch.......second match on Number 1....... Winner to play Murray in the 4th Round........

I hear beetroot hummus is all the rage in South West London

It's kicked off on centre court. Just heard someone told to "be quiet"
Oh, and Serena looks like winning her men's singles match. :afro:

First match on Court 1 just finished after 2 and a half hours. Kuznetsova and Stephens played a great game with Kuznetsova making more comebacks than Frank Butcher.
