Why the fuck do they have to grunt, shriek, howl, scream etc when hitting the ball????
This Ostapenko sounds like a bloody Hyena!!!!
And Williams sounds like a gadgey!!!!

So off putting....I just cannot watch it!!!!

Ps....Ostapenko is gorgeous like!!!!

I cannot understand the people who shout when the players are preparing to serve even when the umpire has asked for order.....thickets.

Not seen her but she cant be in Laura Robsons class.

She's still at school?

Good to see that Venus William's hair resembles an artisan loaf.

She has it in a bun

Not really a tennis fan but that Nadal be Muller match last night was quality sport. What I don't get is why all the sheep tend to support the known famous person rather than the underdog?! I suppose that's the same in footy the majority attach themselves to success

I dont know how anyone can sit through a full tennis match.

The players cry like bairns every time they lose a point.

The commentators suck up to them cosnatntly, and the whole wimbedon thing.

The crowd are either squeeling women, or retarded blokes.

I dont think there is a sport in the world so repetitive.

I just happen to think that if a bolt of lightening hit Wimbledon centre court it would wipe out a large chunk of "Theresa May voting little englander, brexiteer, public school educated, I wasn't really good at sport and don't understand it now but I can shout "come on Timmy" at the wrong times and support anyone who sounds like they might have some connection with the glory our great english empire" type of person.."


Just my bigoted opinion, like.

You said it so much better than me.

I love it, At least the men and women are real athletes, never whinging on about being tired, unless you are first on never knowing your start or end times and can actually compete for over 90 minutes, and shock horror like Nadal v Mueller for 5 hours. Bloody Hell that's over 3 football matches back to back, and then do it all again 2 days later.

Quality.

It's crowd that make it unwatchable. That 'British' lass night won on match point because the other player was put off by some shrieking posh woman wailing like a banshee.

I haven't seen much but I saw the Nadal game the other night and from a sporting point of view it was impressive stuff. You can always see why people like him have been so successful over a long period of time as they won't take a defeat, even though he did lose the way he battled not to was telling. It was like in another sport I can't really get away with a few weeks ago when Klitscho wouldn't give up against Joshua.

TENNIS
Women's tennis
Basically, Wimbledon is the time when tennis courts, unused with tumbleweeds and plastic bags blowing through them for most of the year, suddenly become popular for a couple of weeks.
Then return to their hibernation till next year.

The lass Konta beat had a decent set of norks on her like.

I hope the irony was intentional

Wimbledon is brilliant. Can sit and watch it for hours. Proper athletes put to the highest test both physically and mentally.

And there's quite a few woman who are pleasing on the eye.

What's not to like?

The tossers in the crowd

no one else could describe a tennis fan at wimbledon more accuretly i,m sure. love to see their faces if their scottish hero Marlon gets beaten. fancy Konta though

Whats not to like?

Are you serious?

Look at the cowd, just look at the crowd.

There is one huge reason to hate the sport with untold passion.

Before every point the referee??? should press a button on the ball which activates an explosion after a certain number of shots. This can be different each serve.

Now that would be worth watching.

OK I give you darts and snooker as being equally repititive and dull.

But at least they look like they were once normal folk.

Unless tennis players, who were born millionaires.

A posh sport for posh people, who eat strawberries and cream for fucks sake.

You could always just not pay attention to the crowd. Not sure why that makes the sport any less enjoyable. You could say the same for Darts, and for Footy for that matter.

Quite clearly the most dull and repetitive sport is cricket, and you like that?

And there's no fit wimmen in cricket

Theres a lot more arseholes in footy crowds than Tennis crowds to be fair.

I dont hear Tennis fans singing Anti German songs, making their days aim to "get pissed as fuck", chanting in streets and standing their with their tops off etc.

I like your irony. If the Scots bloke gets beaten there is still the female Australian of Hungarian parentage with British Citizenship to fly the Flag for Little Englanders!

Surely it must be more entertaining than Cliff Richard standing up and starting a sing song when rain stops play ?

Back and forth, back and forth.... The sporting equivalent of watching the tode come in and out.

I've never been an avid watcher of todes or Toads, Mr Snowy. I do like sitting on the Dock of the Bay watching tides though!!!!!!

Cricket is worse. Fact.

tears of joy as poor marlon the hip bites the dust. just hope my pin up girl can win though just to take any shine still left on the murrey clan.

Just read she has actually had a breast reduction
