Off Topic The Wimbledon thread...

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

It's an interesting story, he plays Federer on Centre Court today, he'll probably get tonked, but it seems he's a very popular character, so I might have a watch.

Yes nice story, not least that his previous winning this year reported to be £50, and he is guaranteed £50K if he loses.

His career earnings to date are $92k, today he wins $60k even if he loses, quite a jump.

Like the euro's it only gets interesting when we get to the qtr final stages.

Although there is no English involvement at quarter finals stage of Wimbledon.

Good start

Roger Federer takes the first set 6-0 against Marcus Willis.

Willis just got a standing ovation for winning a set.

£50? Hardly worth bothering to turn up, especially now that the pound has plummeted.

Better this set, currently 2-2.

I'm no big tennis fan, I only ever normally watch it when Wimbledon's on and even now I'm not really watching it, I've got on in the background in my office and I'm just posting updates for anyone's who's interested.

But nobody is.
And if they were wouldn't they be watching it themselves ?

Willis made a half-decent fist of it in the end. Still looks a bit on the heavy side though. It's a day he won't forget.

It seems I undervalued his earnings, which was more like $220 which £164, so much wealthy than I had given him credit for. He seems to have benefited from Brexit

Oh aye. Eugenie Bouchard looks like she's gone out on court in a negligee.

New balls please!

Your time would be better spent reading up on 'Hull City, the missing years......'
And for the record I pride myself on being able to name all the Hull City squad, as for fringe Arsenal players? Frankly, I couldn't give a damn.

Womens tennis is like a void at the moment. I reckon Serena will win this at a canter and she must be about 34-35 now

Stone or tons ? Margaret Court (Smith) was in the crowd for the Bouchard game today. Great era for women's tennis that.

Kinell. Djokovic out
