Lucky dog! Have you been to the US Open? I'd like to hear back how they compare. To me the US Open grounds pass is the most bang for the buck in terms of seeing some incredibly skilled world class athletes.

I have been to the US Open. Wimbledon is in a class by itself because of the tradition and beautiful grounds. It would be like going to the Masters for golf- just a very unique location and culture. Having tickets to Court 1 or Centre Court is very cool because the stadiums are great and a lot of the people sitting around you are all dressed up. You don’t get that as much on the outer courts with a grounds pass. It is not the Kentucky Derby but leans in that direction. If you ever get a chance to go to Wimbledon -do it.

Point of the tournament! This point should have been over at least 3 different times. Funniest part was after it was over Kecmanivic hits the spare ball at Djoko on the ground LOL!

Can rising American Taylor Fritz topple Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon?

It's a tall order to say the least, but Fritz has a chance to be the first American man to make the Wimbledon final since 2009.

Wow what an *** kicking. Wasn't even worth watching unfortunately.

Sinner beats Alcaraz to win the men’s title. Had not realized a guy named Jannik was I-talian.

Sinner beats Alcaraz to win the men’s title. Had not realized a guy named Jannik was I-talian.

He’s looks like other Italian I’ve ever known. Played a hell of a match though.

 

[LionJim]

He’s looks like other Italian I’ve ever known. Played a hell of a match though.

Sinner was up a break in the first set and Alcaraz made the best shot I’ve ever seen in my life to break twice in that set. That was the last I watched of the match.

 

[Midnighter]

Wow what an *** kicking. Wasn't even worth watching unfortunately.

Assume you mean the women's final; I was traveling and only caught the trophy presentation and when I learned it was 6-0, 6-0 for Swiatek I was stunned. Anisimova took some time off not too long ago (this is more and more common on the women's tour these days it seems) and seems like she spent everything she had to beat Sabalenka, which to me is a big win in and of itself. Hoping Amanda gets another shot at a GS soon.
