Wimbledon

[The Subhuman]

And I'm saying that as someone who isn't a tennis fan... anymore. Last great for me was McEnroe

[Jaydog]

But is up there as one of Britain's greatest sportsmen... Maybe only Hamilton is better and he had a car that was faster than the rest

And certainly end of an era for British tennis..

It doesn’t count as he’s Scortish

He was only the 4th best tennis player of his era so i find it hard to say he was one of Britain's greatest sportsmen compared to serial winners like Mark Cavendish, Phil Taylor and Daley Thompson.

Cavendish is another you can throw in the hat. I’ll never agree darts is a sport if it so is chess, backgammon and tiddlywinks.

Daley was comfortably worlds best at the time…. Not a great amount of competition. Only injury beat him

Loudmouth yank.

That's redundant.

Arthur Fery
On centre after a ladies singles. Was superb v Dimitrov but this will be tougher.
If he grows then next year he will be a whole Fery

Surprised no Wimbledon thread.
Been some crackers including the Jokeavic longest ever quarter final. And he’s 63 this year.
Heck of an athlete.

Don't worry, he was born in France to French parents

Ahh, ok. Still as long as we can claim him as our own

I tried a Wimbledon thread a few years ago Jay but there was very little interest. I've been glued to it for the past ten days. It has been brilliant this year.

Strange.
Fery doing well. Could be a semi final v Zverev at this rate.

[1964white]

Dead easy to find this thread when you check the search engine.

[Jaydog]

Wow. Fery destroys Cabolli in straight sets to set up a semi final v Zverez. A stunning performance.

Well done young man.

Many tennis players have a dual nationality and then choose which country they want to represent. Fery was born in France but his parents moved to England when he was one month old. Funnily enough, they moved to Wimbledon where he grew up. Then he went to the States and played college tennis where he honed his craft. A wild card to Wimbledon this year and now a semi finalist. Incredible achievement by the young man.

First game I’ve watched. Last 10 minutes anyway. Well done lad.
