WIMBLEDON 2021

[SG90]

Djokovic wins again, how exciting. Unfortunately he will probably win the US Open too.

[The Subhuman]

Wimbledon needs some new exciting talent, unfortunately Federer/ Djokovic and Nadal have been serving up yawn fests for years, thank god Andy was around to break up the monotony.

Federer and Serena's egos are too big for them to retire while they think they can still win slams. Tennis desperately needs some new stars, maybe Gauff will be one?

[John in Louisiana]

I thought Berrettini played exceptionally well today. Djokovic is probably the only person on the planet capable of returning that serve.

While I, too, would like to see some new blood on the men's side, I think we have to appreciate Djokovic for what he is: the greatest player who ever lived. Much as I always reminded myself to appreciate Nadal, Federer, and Serena while they were in their primes, I'm reminding myself to appreciate Djokovic in his. He was brilliant today.

Go on Noddy still swatting these kids away at 34. 3 of the greatest players to play the game will retire in a few years to give someone else a chance. I can't see anyone else dominating like those 3 the talent is just not there..... Who will save the game.....?

[Norm]

Djokovic has been the bees' knees for a long time and I've always liked his delivery.
Federer's had his day.
Nadal's reaching the end of his (realistic) chances, except for the French Open on clay.

A conundrum indeed.

[Norm]

It's been an exciting era for men's tennis with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic around - I don't know who's going to take the mantle from them but it'll be interesting to see who comes up.

In the uk I doubt anyone's really into tennis. Fookin £40 for a few strawberries and a splurt of cream
It a rich elitist sport .
There not fans who get tickets come on jolly old Roger put ya tank top on or your cardigans.

Its the bbc embarrassing nonsense

And that Scottish bloke who lives in england is as boring as they come.

[liggy]

A real british hero is
Josh Taylor undefeated unified champion of the world.
BBC should hang themselves in shame
The majority of folk couldn't give a fig about tennis

Aye... where i grew up we needed to put string across for a net and hope the ball avoided the potholes in the tennis court. Hence why i never made it.

In only 18 fights aswell. Its a piss take the coverage the lad got. Most people outside Scotland won't know the lad exists never mind about his great achievement. I have said it before some sports has become too fragmented for it to appeal to the masses.

[Denman]

Would be fantastic if Taylor fought the magnificent Terence Crawford, especially in Scotland. I do think Crawford would probably win, but Taylor is in with a fair chance and that’s enough to tell you just how good the guy is.

[liggy]

He should fight Crawford at catch weight

I do think it will happen

The TTT will move up

[Norm]

It is what it is - I've always had respect for the Djoker and I doubt anyone could say he didn't deserve the crown.

[Norm]

...and there endeth the first, and last, lesson!

No one wants to face TC. Amir Khan didn't fancy it once he felt the power. I would have a few more defences first and see how Taylor goes. It will be a proper super fight if it does come off. I don't see TC travelling personally but the Scots would get behind their man at Hampden Park if he did come over, just a shame it only holds 51k.

Just watched a bunch of video of the lad.

Damn.

Knocking people out with left hooks to the body. Vicious body puncher. Hands like lightning.

Damn.

[liggy]

John he's the best GB for a generation

Reminds me of Duran

[Norm]

I don't see all that over here, tennis and boxing. I'm glad to be coming back this year/next year.

You will need to take a refresher course in "proper" English words Norm..

for example, flashlight = torch
sidewalk = pavement

Etc
