Mounts Kipper Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Southfields on the way in, Wimbledon on the way back. Though if you're driving, the park & ride will take you straight to the grounds & eliminate that half mile walk at both ends of the day. Thanks for the info on second thoughts I might let the train take the strain so I can neck a few pimms. Quote
Sweep Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 I'd love to get a ticket for Wimbledon. I've missed out in the ballot for the last 2 years. Most miffed. Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) I'd love to get a ticket for Wimbledon. I've missed out in the ballot for the last 2 years. Most miffed. Got 2 tickets because my son has been LTA coached and member for 5-6 years now, one of his coaches something to do with ballots don't know if that helped us. It's one of those event on my bucket list, got long way to go to accomplish the rest I must say, id better get a move on.???? Edited June 9, 2017 by Mounts Kipper Quote
Exiled Girl Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 You stand a better chance as a tennis club member than in the public ballot, though it will depend upon the number of club members who opt into the ballot & the distance from Wimbledon. We don't have a massive number of members who want to go as it's not cheap & most have been many times before. I used to rock up for the cheap evening tickets where you could just walk in, but recently the queues for that have made it not worthwhile. Quote
Exiled Girl Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Stan's playing very well, and the further he gets in a tournament, the better he plays. Wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion that Nadal beats Thiem either - Thiem's the only person who's beaten Nadal on clay this year. Called the first one right Edited June 9, 2017 by Exiled Girl Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Unbelievable in that final set, fair play to the Switzer Quote
jturner Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 It was great to see Rafa back to his best, we're never going to see anybody as good as him on clay again.Muzza would have more ranking points if he'd beaten Stan but i think he might be relieved to have avoided playing Nadal in that form! Quote
L/H White Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Djokovic 11/2 to wimbledon, what's happened to him stopped taking PED's? Quote
Exiled Girl Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Thought the women's final & both semi-finals more interesting than either the men's final or the Nadal/Thiem semi. Quote
MalcolmW Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Djokovic 11/2 to wimbledon, what's happened to him stopped taking PED's? That is a cheap shot. Djokovic (like Murray) is now 30. He reached the top level earlier, winning his first Major at 20. In contrast, Murray did not win a Major until he was 25. Murray has appeared in 11 finals, winning 3, Djovokic has 21 finals with 12 wins. There is a limited lifespan in the top flight in almost any sport, and certainly tennis. Quote

jules_darby Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I love Nadal, given the way he plays it's incredible that his body is still capable of this What an athlete I think Murray will be back this summer too Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Having babies- perhaps they just want to get away from the scriking. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Top three seeds all gone. Perhaps they've all won though. Quote
L/H White Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 backed Djokovic for wimbledon just beause of the price 6/1 Quote
Sweep Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 backed Djokovic for wimbledon just beause of the price 6/1 I like the look of Federer this time, I think he's only about 3s though Quote
Exiled Girl Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Dan Evans. You utter dick You're a bit late on this... but you're right. Feel very sorry for his parents. Quote
MalcolmW Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Konta just beat Ostapenko in a very good 3 setter at Eastbourne. Quote
jules_darby Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Just been given tkts for Court 1 on 10th July So excited I have a major hard on. If Nadal plays on it that day it'll explode Quote
jayjayoghani Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Think it's Men's and Women's 4th Round that day, assuming weather doesn't mess the schedule of course Quote
