I love watching most sports but can't get away with tennis and Wimbledon is the most boring 2 weeks of sport in the calendar.

Full of middle class tossers watching middle class tossers play bat and ball.

JT - I know, I know........the bewers !!

John Trebor

Wimbledon was great in the late 70s / mid 80s.
Borg, Connors, McEnroe, Nastase, Gueralitis, Vilas, Becker.
Goolagong, Navratilova, Evert, Jean-King.

Agreed but if I want to thrap away to something I'll just watch some Frankie Vaughan rather than being interrupted by some posh bloke shouting Deuce or 40 love

I used to watch it back in the day and even entered the Middlesbrough Tennis Open U-16's one year.

Sacked it off as it was the same day as the Hemo Club Summer Trip to Whitby.

Loved Borg, he was so cool who turned professional in my favourite year, 1974

Remember Borg v Connors Wumbledon SF, with Connors winning 2 sets to live, Borg came storming back to win 3-2

Never think "ooh the tennis is on" but catch the odd match. Last year watching Kyrgios was good. What annoys me is when they forever clench their fist and look up to their team everytime they win a point, it's normally the brits that do it and they're normally getting walloped  :ray:

Some cracking sportswear and match day attire came from the tennis scene, so it gets a bit of credit from me for that, especially in the late 80s/90s and, still about today. Trainers, tackies the lot back then.

Have a couple of fila and la coste items in the wardrobe myself
