Er I would say the likes of Birmingham the average person you sit around there is much, much more knowledgeable than Wimbledon CC, I mean you hear garbage but it's nothing like Wimbledon CC. If you've ever been to O2 it's like there, I mean they aren't necessarily people who follow tennis daily, but the fans know their stuff, on CC the fans don't know anything.

It's been hot for 2 weeks, the grass is hard and the ball is bouncing higher which is why Nadal is past the first week for the first time in 7 years so he would stand just a chance of beating Federer this year if they had met should I say.
n88 you can't possibly have a great idea of this sort of thing unless you're there every year and really know the whole of the 13,000 people present, every slam is going to have casuals taking in the tennis not really knowing what they're looking at. |

Birmingham most the funnier stuff comes from hearing the little kids and what they say, some of what they say can be hilarious.

The American's in particular don't see to understand etiquette, rudest crowd in the word who think they're at an NFL game.

You don't need to go every year Mes, I've been Wimbledon loads, not like the target audience has changed, the audience on CC is the same as it was 10 years ago mostly. Same type of people.

Imo that will not happen Wisewords, I can't see them needlessly doing that.

Well yer if there's anyway they can finish tonight and just f it you would think that is most optimal, but I'm not sure how possible that actually is.

By:
just seems like an illogical sweeping statement to say most of the crowd don't know what they're looking at or understand tennis, pretty sure the US open judging by their mannerisms such as constantly overspilling their cheers/jeers into a players new serve from the previous point.

By:
Yes Wisewords, if anything they are still likely to be in better shape than Anderson anyway.

mes, n88 is right, the majority of people on centre havent got a scooby doo whats going on, its a social event for them to go to and boast to their chums

Sunday final imo. It will just be two sets at most tomorrow.

Is there much of a fine for playing on?
|

By:
Any slam has its fair share of mugs, but Wimbledon has the super clueless because the % of tennis fans in there is so low. USO is just like most events, you will see mugs, but no more than anywhere else.
|
|
By:
what I do agree with is that most of the crowd are probably not the sort that works in factories as Navratilova said judging by the many interviews with fans over the years.

Depending on who you are watching at USO my impression of USO also there is many more tourists there than at Wimbledon.

@NowJustAndrew
3h3 hours ago More Replying to @laurarobson5 11pm then it’s £20,000 fine per quarter hour over that, doubling every hour from the last. It’s the same fine that governs arenas and stadia in the UK, unless licence extension is applied for 90 days before a event. Wimbledon broke it once before for a Djokovic match! |

Rafa top spin amazing

the issue is, if the match could finish by 11:30 or midnight then they might think ok
what if it went on til 2am or something stupid? |
|
By:
I can't see them breaking it tbh. I'm just curious when they put them on tomorrow. Midday probably is still most likely, but it's hardly ideal for each player (but no scenario is), that's a pretty quick turnaround.

When was that? Who was djockovic playing?
|
|
By:
It depends what you want to do Aaron, say this set finishes at 10:40pm, do you chance it and hope it ends in 4, a bit of a gamble really, as it goes 5 you achieve nothing.
|
|
By:
Arron it goes on till 2 am in other events
|
|
By:
not ideal, but theyv'e seen some fantastic tennis so far
|
|
By:
I think most likely they're gonna call it at end of this set unless this set ends very quickly (so 6-4).
