Grand Slam Wimbledon 2024

Starting this thread now that qualies are done

Bolt and Gadecki are into the main draw after winning last rounds of qualifying.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Alex Bolt was a last min stand-in for qualies. Big money and points for him.

Tomljanovic got a well-deserved WC to the main draw. Wimbledon is the bet grand slam in terms of Wild Cards. They dont all go to homegrown journeymen.

Aussies always outperform their rank on grass. Hopefully, we can get a couple through to the 3rd round.

except on the Men's side this year

To be fair though, some of these English players have earnt it with their form leading into Wimbledon

Jubb has been a surprise with his run the last week on the ATP tour

Fearnley a talented player who has been great and Harris has had a few decent weeks

Jesus, why are there so many big names in the womens wildcards?

Maternity leave

What's the equivalent of Henman Hill or Murray Mound going to be for Draper? Big game and he will be dangerous on grass.

Bolt drawing Casper Ruud gave me a chuckle.

Looks like a lot of winnable first round going through the draw

De Minaur vs Duckworth. lol.

Incredibly easy draw from Djokovic. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t make the final.

He's got Carlos in his half how is that easy? You want easy there are otehrs that have it easier.

Penko vs Aija is pocorn, hoping Penko gets through her vs Iga is always hilarious

Can't wait! Favourite slam after AO. Bring it on

Isn't Carlos on same side with Sinner? Normally it's 1 & 4 but this season for some reason it's 1 v 3 & 2 v 4 predicted SF's.

Jeez I just assumed it was the other way around. I'll take it only having to beat one of them. Novak won't win anyway.

 

[BobbyMorri]

The LTA are always nice to us Aussies.

They are normally first on.

I will always hate the late starting times for the centre courts.

Hopefully Channel 9 dont totally balls up this slam as well, the French was a total farce with there coverage, hopefully Wimbeldon is great

Ch.9 sent Tony Jones there, so I am assuming it will be normal. One channel, a couple of reporters.

Sab has withdrawn.

 

[juice t]

Sabalenka definitely out

 

[LukeParkerno1]

One useless one out with Ruud straight through

Shame Sabs is out I get why but in grand slams there should be limits when you can withdraw it wrecks the draws.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Saba

 

[BobbyMorri]

Don't look now,

But schmieds is 5-0 down in the first set.

She is the anti Iga

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Nick is great as a commentator.

 

[samFFC]

Naomi absolutely cooking.

Amazing comebacks from Tiafoe and JT.

 

[Plugger35]

Alcaraz didn't have much trouble beating Pineapple Head.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Don't look now,

But schmieds is 5-0 down in the first set.

She is the anti Iga

Wins next one 6-3.
