Not a huge Tennis fan myself, but just caught the end of Cori Gauff against Venus Williams. 15 years of age vs 39....and the youngster came out on top in the first round. Unbelievable.

Next prodigy?

Anyways...here’s a thread for all you tennis fans!
 
She was very impressive

Been some big shocks today already - Zverev and Osaka the big ones

Watching Edmund at the moment and doing really well

Great watching Wimbledon
 
Doesn't sound that surprising, I'm 32 and I'd still expect to lose to a 15 year old at tennis, let alone when I'm 39.
 
Does the BBC believe that we all want to watch tennis? For the next two weeks it is wall to wall on both BBC1 and BBC2 at the same time and then highlights in the evening. Is there any other sport that gets the same amount of coverage?

Olympics , Commonwealth Games , World Athletics - World Cup , Euros -

And the good thing it’s all action not hours of stupid studio stuff - plus much more on the red button

It’s obviously popular

Luckily there are about 500 other channels to watch these days.
 
Highlights of Tsonga-Tomic are worth a watch. Never seen anything like it, Tomic just couldn't be bothered. Rightly fined 100% of his match fee.

I saw a little clip from that, apparently he's done it before. Amazes me that someone can work so hard to become a professional in their sport, but then not be arsed to actually do the business on the biggest stage. Could give him the benefit of the doubt and say there may be other factors going on in his head though.

I would have thought, the element of his mind(make up) that enables him to work hard, can be just as destructive. The two sides to the makeup are very close together. Certainly I can understand that, as my makeup is a like that, can be 100% or 0% and can happen at a flick of a switch or at any time. Must be hard being in the public eye.

Shame Edmund got knocked out, he had almost won the match and was playing pretty well.
