Originally posted by d000hg View PostI haven't been to many big stadia but SW19 was a great experience (except it was about 30C). Going for the final, the one thing we missed was seeing all the smaller courts which are really intimate. Would certainly recommend it.
And interesting on M/F tennis. I can see watching two big servers getting dull but they're all so ridiculously athletic these days. I don't see how anyone can find Novak boring to watch.
As an aside but related, I had never seen professional tennis up close and personal.
However I was walking through Regents Park on my way to work a few years ago and I wandered down the side of the tennis courts where I had to stop to watch in total shock and awe on how hard and fast and so close to the net these two guys were hitting the tennis ball, I was stunned I just didn't get the sense of speed and power whilst watching on TV.
Turns out the guy I was watching was Kyle Edmund who was GB No.2 to Murray at the time, I can only imagine how fast the ball must travel when Novak and Rafa are playing.

I used to love mens' tennis and hate the womens' game, complete turnaround now though I find the mens version as dull as dishwater

In the interests of balance, Nadal also has a huge bum. Commentary included "when Nadal's playing, watch his bottom".
Originally posted by d000hg View PostI only applied for Wimbledon once and got tickets for the mens' final, the year Djokovic beat Anderson. Which was good but Anderson got to the final after coming back from 2 sets down against Federer so I was a bit sad I so narrowly missed out watching Roger and Novak play a Wimbledon final, which is about as good as tennis gets.

My dad was at Centre Court on Tuesday and had a great view of all the proceedings.

Not interested either, apart from the bit d0000000000000000gh mentioned.

Wimbledon 2022
Anyone following? Been some good matches so far and Nick 'Bogun' Kyrgios providing some hackneyed controversy.
Sorry xoggoth but your favourite (I assume) player is out in the first round... no more staring at Serena's ample fishnet-clad* rear for you. Shame as she's one of my favourite players and about the only female player I will tune in for
*yes Sue I know they are for medical reasons, you can save the womens' lib for another time.Tags: None
