Wimbledon 2025

Wimbledon,  celebrating 100 years, rolled out past winners, many greats that have graced the tournament over the years.

A nice wee appreciation of Sue Barker's last year after 30 years hosting the BBC's coverage.

6-2 to the German girl first set, embarrassingly easy.

Aye, despite a half decent 2nd set wee Heather is OOT.

6-2, 6-4. 

Now to switch over to Norrie. 

[faraway saint]

Norrie up 2 sets, 6-4, 7-5 and has just broken early in the third.

A real tennis match, not a lot between them, both players playing well.

Norrie wins a tough match 3-0.

Marches into the quarter finals. 

Not sure he's quite, at this stage, got enough to win but already done pretty decent.

WHAT a match on Centre Court, Sinner 2-1 up against the new wonder boy Alcaraz.

Alcaraz just won the 3rd set tie break.

Watching these two guys is one of the reasons I'm not convinced Norrie could win the tournament, but at this stage not a great deal in it.

A wee mention for an Arbroath lad who beat Jamie Murray & Venus Williams in the mixed doubles.

Johnny O'Mara, with Alicia Barnett, won the deciding set 18-16 on the tie break. 

Quite an achievement.

Kyrgios wins in 5 sets.

Frustrating, the 4th set, threw the towel in, the 5th set, scooshed it 6-2.

Yes thought I'd watch it to see what all the fuss was about... was a bit of a damp squid actually 😴 so to raise the excitement... with Kyrgios a set down..

Phew.. 😰 if he'd lost I was chapping your door for a loan of sum cash

Wee Tan getting tanned. (Bet the Sun will use that ra morra) 

Lost the first set 6-2, getting blown off the court.

Wee Tan oot, probably the last we'll hear of her.

6-2, 6-3 in under an hour. 

Thanks for the memories, your win against Serena was a joy to watch.

Norrie on today in quarter final day.

Unfortunately I'll not see much but he's certainly in with a shout against Goffin. 

I see it as a fifty/fifty match, 4 or 5 sets.

I wish i had the mobility to play again.
