Getting a match thread up now in case the phorum breaks again.

BK in the Wimbledon final having taken three big scaps in Collins, Ostapenko and Rybakina in three straight matches is interesting. She's had a fairly lean period in singles since she won the French Open three years ago but could the perception after that win of her being a clay specialist have hidden grass court GOAT potential in plain sight? She hasn't played Paolini since 2018.

Raducanu must be kicking herself though. What a chance to get to play a Wimbledon final the day before England lose to Spain in the Euros.
She'd definitely have had the crowd singing Sweet Caroline at her again just like in New York.
