Wimbledon 2023

Was wondering about Halep, turns out she was caught blood boosting with a drug called Roxadustat at the US, and "She has continued to maintain that she never knowingly ingested a banned substance." Turns out those wild boar steaks that tyson fury and connor benn are more prolific than we knew.

Nice moment where a challenge was cancelled just as they're such pals off court.

When she leans into the two handed backhand into the corner, she wins nearly every time. Clinical.

 

[Buckers]

Tennis is crap.

Two beauties on the court now - Boulter/Rybakina.

Rybakina having a very easy Saturday nights work. Hitting practice this. The kids that've been in the Californian sweat camps, labouring for a decade shine through.

Is she due to meet Sabalenka in the semis? Should be some match if so

 

[Kev The Rat]

Boulter has been an absolute disgrace here

 

[Rita_Poon]

What a very pleasant and rather sweet young lady Rybakina seems.

Yeah. If the seeds win it will be Swiatek v Pegula and then Rybalinka v Sabalenka

I know. I can’t believe the person ranked 89th has been beaten comfortably by the person who is the defending champion. Absolute disgrace

BBC not doubt pushed for her to be on centre court like they did with Raducanu a few years a go.

It’s not a surprise though. A British player playing the defending champion. Plenty of stuff to bash the BBC about but this isn’t one of them

I’d be surprised if that doesn’t take place in France, Aus and US too

I'm not a tennis fan, so it's not a major concern to me. But I don't agree with wildcards for players of these countries (including the UK). These are huge world wide tournaments that belong to the world and not to the host countries any more. By all means give wildcards in tournaments like the Queens championships and the like, but to hand them out in the majors is incredibly unfair.
