One of my gay sporting events of all time. Last year I went during the first week of play. It was crowded as ever but a lot of fun.

American tennis is not great.

ETA - edited to make a correction - Gauff is not out. I will say I have more faith on the women's side of American tennis than I do the men's.

Sabalenka withdrew this morning. Women's draw seems wide open.

Would love to see Tiafoe get back into form.

I saw a post from Men's Tennis showing we have 3 Ags there playing. Who is it???

I bet you really miss Mauresmo

Haha. Well played. I did not see the typo, obviously. lol.

I'm working from home tomorrow so I'll get to watch some matches.

I'll be leaving Saturday and staying in London all week. Tough to get a ticket so doing the queue line early mornings to hopefully get in. I have been to Wimbledon to tour it but never been to the actual tournament.

Thanks!

Doing all majors one year. Had done them all before but Wimbledon and not in the same year

American tennis, who cares. Hopefully we get Sinner, Alcaraz, and (long shot) Rune in the semis.

Danielle Collin's melting down here in the second set. She was up 5-1 and had a couple of match points she's lost. Now she has two more opportunities.

ETA - she broke to win her match.

Tiafoe falling behind

Man, alcaraz knows how to turn it on in the 5th set.

Umm this Gauff opponent looks…

You're not wrong.

Gauff is only 20 years old. She seems older because she has been in the spotlight for so long. Right now she is not good on grass, like Swiatek. But she is good on hard courts. So we will see how she does this summer.

Just turned on Fritz-Zverev.

I'm a VERY casual tennis fan. Is Fritz a poor returner or is Zverev's first serve basically untouchable? Looks like the latter.

I like her as a person and she is trying to professionalize, but she has to fix a major, major flaw in her game. If she does well, she could go on quite a run given how weak the women's game currently is

Had a lunch appointment so I left right as they went into the 4th set tiebreaker.

Very entertaining tennis from what I saw.

If she stays with Brad Gilbert, she will be fine. The 4 majors she has had with him include 1 win, 2 semis and a 4th round. She has improved her serve which had been a disaster. She has to fix the forehand. We've been spoiled by dominance recently in tennis and the media expectations for her were off the charts. She's 20 and if she ends her career with 4-6 major championships, that should not be viewed as failure. Look at Sofia Kenin. Young American who in 2020 won the Australian and was runner up at the French. Battled through injuries but is nowhere near where she was in 2020 and likely never will.

First time we've had two American men in the final eight since 2000 (Sampras and Agassi).

Future Aggie! Won 2&3 today. Looks pretty damn good. Barnaby in the background watching.

I'll be surprised if he makes it on campus. Hopefully he does!

Who wins the men's final. Djokovic or alcaraz. Crazy that tickets for this are about $10,000 a ticket.

Dammnnnn..

Actually just got back yesterday from London. We stayed in walking distance from Wimbledon. We got up early and walked to W to stay in the queue. First day we stayed in line for 5 hours and actually got grounds tickets. This is Wimbledon. It's the Wimbledon experience. Once we got in, we had to get into another queue for stadium tickets. No luck. The second day we showed up an hour earlier at 5:30 am and actually got Centre Court tickets as well as Court 1 tickets. These are the resale tickets. Each were only 15 pounds which is about $19. We got to see Fritz when he lost. It was an experience to be at Wimbledon and let alone in Centre Court. We had a great time. We may go back next year.

$10,000 was the lowest ticket price in the resale market. The announcers on tv said it was the most expensive lowest ticket price for a sporting event in history. Not sure if that is accurate or not.

This is going to be an epic match. I like both of these guys for different reasons. I'll be happy for the winner; disappointed for the loser.

ETA - Djokovic looks slow but that may be because Alcaraz is on a heater. Unless Djokovic can break soon, this will be a short match. So far my prediction of a lm epic match was way off.
