It was Zerev's French open to lose I think with Alcaraz out injured and Sinner retiring feeling unwell. I said to Mr Swan at the time that he would never get a better chance of a slam win.
England v Germany come on Arthur
Its a free hit. Dont see the media pressure making a difference. Its the number 2 seed & if he wins then most likely the number 1.
Think he has a great chance of beating Zverev.
9/2 v 1/7
I’d have it closer.
He wiped the floor with Cabolli who took Zverev to 5 sets in the French. I know you know this
I declare my love for Saint Daniel and I can shoehorn him in to any conversation.

Was superb from Zverev.
900k a softener for Fery.
It was. But a guy 6ft 6in serving against a 5ft 9in guy, (especially with a brilliant serve) Arthur was always going to be up against it. When they showed the Zerev serve from behind Arthur the bounce was over his shoulder height. Credit to Zerev, he looks a cracking player since his French slam win, playing with lots of confidence and having to manage his diabetes at the same time takes some doing,

Yes and the embrace at the end with Fery was a comedy moment.
I backed Zverev a couple of times at Wimbledon but not this year unfortunately.

I've been watching Wimbledon on TV since I was three years old, playing tennis in the road where I lived as soon as I could lift a proper tennis racket instead of the toy one I had. My Grandadn took me to my first tennis court at 6 years old. I played tennis nearly every evening in Riyadh for 12 years in the 80's but I'm absolutely totally bamboozled by the technicalities and science of the game that Andrè Agassi is on about in the commentary box
Oh...and I won tennis medals at school as well

Too technical for me.
Sinner will win Wimbledon.
Bold prediction I know
Maybe Zverev can hang in and force some tie breaks.
But no chance tbh.

What a fantastic two weeks of Wimbledon tennis. So sad it's over. Such a classy event. Well done to all the players and the people behind the scenes who made it happen. The BBC excelled itself with their coverage, commentators, camera men/women. The pundits were all so knowledgeable and gracious, and the presenters were second to none....There is no other event in tennis like Wimbledon.
