Who ya got?
I hope Fritz and Tiafoe make some noise for USA

I’d love to see Coco take a leap forward but Swiatek and Sabalanka look tough

Incredible event

Couldn’t recommend going enough

Up there with the Masters in terms of pomp/circumstance

I did the Wimbledon queue in 2014 and ended up right on the net Centre Court lower bowl. Ended up costing like 80 bucks and got watch Nadal, Federer and a womens match. Watched Monfils match on the outer courts as well. I love the event. Look forward to it every summer.

Keep an eye on Andy Murray. On the youth side, Ben Shelton could make some noise. Excited for the future of American Tennis - lots of good young players on the rise!

I don't watch a lot of tennis. But I enjoy watching the majors- same with golf. As for Wimbleton, I grew up watching Wimbleton. I love the tradition. And I will be watching.

What’s crazy to me is how much time they spend deciding what balls they want to use lol

“Here give me three”
“Take one back”
“You over there, give me another one”
“Ok take one back”
“These seem good. Round, yellowish-green, bouncy, Cherrio!”

I was watching an Alcaraz match in the French open. The condition of the balls during the game before the switch was the worst I've ever seen in a pro tennis match. Looked like one you'd given the dog.

My former student Katie Swan ( 147 in the world) lost in a close match to 14th seed Bencic today… the difference between 20 and 200 is paper thin at times

On women's side, Sofia Kenin may go a long way or exit early. You never know.

I'm a sucker for Andy Murray and have been following him since 2008. Anyone but Novak... I don't like him.

The Covid? Hun, teach me...?
Yeah they kept dicking him around and not approving his visa. While all the fellow competitors were talking down on him the whole time. Now he’s back with a vengeance it seems. I’m pretty sure whatever the most recent tourney before this, he cake walked that Alvarez kid in straight sets to win it. Just seemed pretty brutal they way they were treating him and probably cost him a few more titles in the process.

I don't like Novak. Gimme the other Big 4. Andy has always been my favorite, going back to 2008. His match vs Gasquet, really won me over. Id never seen such emotional Tennis before.

I love how he sometimes plays foil to Novak.

Yeah I’m impartial to most. Except Nadal I can’t stand. The one guy I usually try to pull for is that cocky dbag Kyrigos. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Except vs an American I always go for the RW&B!!

Mrs., I enjoy your tennis takes… I must admit, NOT a Murray fan, except he has helped Katie in her career… blessings!

They pushed the tourney back a couple of years ago, I THINK, to create more space between the French
