Wimbledon 2021

Couldn't see another thread.

Raining so far so no play on outside courts, Djokovic v Britain's Jack Draper on Centre at the moment, Draper with an early break.

50% crowds, no queue, no exhibition Seniors stuff etc.

Anyone get tickets this year?  Was tempted to try but as we had tickets last year that are guaranteed for next year decided to wait for that.

Will a brit make the second week?

Covered End

Draper one set up.

no masks it seems either on the 'indoor' No 1 court !

Couple of things to really like about Draper’s game. No surprise that Djokovic has run away with the second set though.

Certainly has a bit of fight about him, amount of break points he's saved.

Will be good experience for him too.

Murray on centre court later against Basilashvili.

Feels a bit weird this being interviewed on court, normally a final day thing not first round.

I tried entering the online ballot, but was too slow!

I reckon there may be some resales etc released as it goes on but only if you manage to be online at the exact right time!

Tsitsipas is 2 sets down - shows how tough the 2 week turnaround from the French Open is.

Bilko

Got 2 tickets for Court 2 for this Thursday.

Looks like Tsitsipas is getting knocked out in the first round. Such a frustrating player.

Decent weather. And a non Euro 2020 day too!

Tsitsipas out in straight sets to Frances Tiafoe.

Callumcafc

Fantastic seeing Murray on centre court again.

I planned it because of no Euro action and hopefully I’ll get lucky with the weather.

Think they play first to 6.

Murray's opponent tanking at present...

moutuakilla

Feels good to shout, "C'mon Andy" again!

hoof_it_up_to_benty

Murray playing much better than I expected...

Murray now looking rusty - lost 5 straight games

Certainly have - ...

Wow, that's some turnaround

DamoNorthStand

His body just cant cope with top tier tennis anymore. When Nadal was injured, he came back like a machine. Murray is just not the same player anymore. 

hoof_it_up_to_benty

Seven straight games...

His serving has gone to pieces ...

Callumcafc

Lost seven games in a row to lose the set from 5-0 up, including four breaks of serve. Not looking great.
