Wimbledon don't care, they have known for a year the men's final would clash with the World Cup Final and just said "meh", you would think the TV companies would have more clout.
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

Before worrying about Tie breaks in the 5th set, tennis could lose Ad points.

Anderson will be glad that went on a bit. Should have a chance if he's recovered well.

Williams winning in about 50 minutes will show the ladies game up for what it is after the men's semi finals

No first serve and a double fault for Anderson to lose serve first up.

This has the potential to be worse than Nadal v Berdych a good few years back.

A poor Wimbledon. Best game was Nadal v Djokovic which it was a pity it was the semis. Any predictions for the US open Kimmy? I'm going for a new winner. Djokovic didn't look great in the final today, nearly threw away the third set.

Djokovic and Federer look likely tbh.

Would like to see Zverev bring his A game to a slam though.

Would be nice if Coric or Shapovalov went far.

Nadal looked very strong here but the surface won't suit his body.
