July 1, 20241 yr Play begins at 5a on ESPN(+). Men's draw Added a poll just to be different. Kinda winged the last few names. Ladies' draw Elena in Iga's top half, Aryna down with Coco. Aryna claims to be injured. Still hard to believe Vondrousova is the defending champ. Edited July 1, 20241 yr by shadow_operative2.0
July 1, 20241 yr Iga is beatable on grass, so I think that field is pretty wide open. Djokovic is coming off an injury, so who knows if his body will hold up for 2 weeks. If he's healthy, I think Djokovic will be a factor along with Sinner and Alcaraz
July 1, 20241 yr Texas-ex Lulu Sun just took her first ever top 10 scalp. Stearns unfortunately lost in straight sets in her match
July 1, 20241 yr In the Battle of Eastern Bloc 17 year-olds… Brenda Fruhvirtova 🇨🇿 beat Mirra Andreeva (24 seed)🇷🇺 in 3 sets. Edited July 1, 20241 yr by Napoleon
July 1, 20241 yr Was hoping Andreeva could make a run here. Interested to watch Emma Navarro vs Osaka.
July 2, 20241 yr Author Quote British tennis star Sonay Kartal, 22, won the first professional match of her career beating Romania’s 29th-seed Sorana Cirstea 3-6, 6-2, 6-0. The Brighton-born ace had never before won a Tour-level tie - and was dumped out of SW19 in the first round of the last two editions. Playing a little fast & loose with the word 'star'.

July 3, 20241 yr Vondrousova winning last year didn’t make any sense. And now she’s out in the first round… …makes last year seem even more unbelievable. Before last year’s Wimbledon she had like 4 or 5 career wins on grass. And 2 of those came last year. I don’t know if she played any grass tournaments before Wimbledon, but the defending champ losing in straight sets in the first round is loco.
July 3, 20241 yr Author Holy hell, Elena is the only former champ left after 2 fucking days. That’s crazy.
July 3, 20241 yr Interested to watch Emma Navarro vs Osaka. I like watching Navarro. She was dropping it in the bucket today. I kinda thought it would go like this. Hoping she can make a run for the finals.
July 3, 20241 yr Author Emma has actually looked good, but Lulu can’t ask for a better path… Quote One of Sakkari, Raducanu, Zhu or Sun will be in the QF of this year's Wimbledon.
July 5, 20241 yr Anybody know the best way to get tickets other than their queue? Brother and I are headed there on Sunday and will be there through Friday. We'll attempt to get in daily via the queue til we actually get in! I've only been once and it was during the 2nd week and I stood in their queue for it. Hoping for the same results!

Hoping for the same results! you'll get in if you queue but the wait's like 3 hours so don't get there at 4pm, get there earlier so you'll have enough time to wander the grounds. if you don't want to queue they do resell debenture tickets but they're $$$. i've also had friends tell me they've used the wimbledon app to find tix not used by ballot holders but it's super rare apparently. i've never tried that.

I've played at clubs in the Northeast where they paint the past club and national champions names on framed wooden boards in gold leaf paint. People like Conde Nast and Jay Gould had win streaks a decade long. Looks like history is repeating itself now. Alcaraz, Sinner, and Goff are fugly. In the words of Snoop Dogg, "Ain't you got any pretty people?" Rimbo voted for "other" in the poll. Now who might that be? Here's Lulu Sun. She's from New Zealand: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm celebrating Summer on the stoop of my brownstone with my homies and box of White Claw. Edited July 5, 20241 yr by Bullneck

July 7, 20241 yr 19 minutes ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: Badosa Paolini Raducanu Navarro Sorry, Lulu. 3 2 1 4 X Little Paolini kind of reminds me of my Argentine ex, but much more smiley. IN OTHER NEWS: Glad that we’re rid of Iga. She wasn’t going to win it, was probably going to get crushed by Ostapenko, but the announcers drooling over her every swing of the racquet got old a long time ago. Next up is Coco, with a similar regarded forehand grip, getting knocked out and completely shocking the announcers. Coco has a better serve, but much shittier consistency with her forehand.
July 7, 20241 yr Madison Keys was serving for the match at 5-2 in the third and then strains something in/around her left groin on a serve and lost two straight games. It is now 5-4 in the 3rd and after getting felt up by the physio, they have left the court so that the physio can tape up her groin out of view of the pervs in the stands and the millions of peeves watching around the world. When she returns, she will attempt to serve for the match once more. Carlos Álcaraz up 2 sets to love over Ugo Humbert.
July 7, 20241 yr …and DONE. Keys couldn’t move, but still got to 30-40 before double faulting to go to 5-5. At 15 - 15 on Paolini’s serve Madison had to quit. She left the court crying. I am glad that Paolini won, because I hate when someone wins and then withdraws and there isn’t a match in the next round. ❤️🇮🇹Paolini🇮🇹❤️ Edited July 7, 20241 yr by Napoleon
July 7, 20241 yr can’t get enough shots of humbert’s box and the four comatose mannequins sitting inside it.
July 7, 20241 yr Author Emma/Lulu maybe playing 3. If Emma don’t quit. Edited July 7, 20241 yr by shadow_operative2.0
