Brilliant. I've not been watching any of the tennis this year but I used to religiously and getting to Wimbledon itself has been on my list for a long time. (Maybe next year) What inspiring words, from the amazing players but from you too. Enjoy your holiday and time away.😎
That must have been so fun... and obviously inspiring :) The only tennis I'd ever watched before had been in films, but my mother-in-law was glued to the men's final when we visited yesterday. My husband and I reluctantly joined her, but after about an hour of watching (and a lot of asking ChatGPT to explain the rules) we were cheering right alongside her. I only wished I'd visited during some of the women's matches as well.
It’s a great game once you get into it - as much about psychology as physical prowess, which is what I enjoy. It still bugs me that the women don’t get to play 5 set matches at grand slams as I think that changes the game dynamic considerably.
Hope you get to watch some women’s tennis soon, Marci! (Or at least next year when Wimbledon is on tv)
What brilliant observations! I've never been to Wimbledon but together with my dad we would watch every match. That's during the Björn Borg-John MacEnroe era 😁
My dad was an avid tennis player and during senior high school I used to play it regularily.
But with so many of my hobbies and interests I stopped after leaving school.
Such nice memories of watching tennis with your Dad 🥰
I used to play a bit when I was younger but haven’t picked up a racket in many years. I should try again I think, but like you have too many hobbies and interests!
Björn Borg was watching a lot of matches there this year. He kept appearing on the TV!

I hope you make it next year Nikki! It’s such a wonderful atmosphere, even just walking around the grounds.

OK, that is a weird discrepancy! But I certainly look forward to watching again.

Wow! Borg was there! I do miss tennis sometimes but my knees wouldn't like me trying it.
