I’m always in favour of new threads to stop things getting confusing. Suggested by @anon82218317 and the start of Wimbledon is as good a time as any.
What are the big stories from Day 1? Federer and Serena through easily enough…a win for GB’s Swan and a good effort by Harriet Dart.
I’m going to continue my theme from the last thread and profess my love for Grigor Dimitrov. Currently watching him struggle mentally against Wawrinka…who isn’t as talented but is much less flakey Also not sure why Stan is the neutral’s favourite on court
I’m very much aware that I’m not that well up on tennis…so I’m just going to say I thought Wawrinka was a very combative and mentally tough player…but Dimitrov has the greater shot selection and movement. I certainly wouldn’t say Dimitrov was the better player though, because that’s a different thing
Also FML with my office picking game. So far all my picks are on course to win except bloody Coric and Vandeweghe who’ve both managed to injure themselves during their matches.
To give context to my Dimitrov fandom; I don’t like to see wasted talent. I think it’s good to see the most entertaining and technical players fulfill their potential (like Halep at the French Open).
