It's almost time for Wimbledon!
We'll do our usual tennis talk here in this thread, but for this one we'll also try a Wooden spoon competition to keep us entertained.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooden_spoon_(award)
It's pretty straight forward. Just pick four names and if either of them wins the Wooden spoon, you win.
You can play the men's, the women's or both. Make four picks. Here are mine.
Men's:
Pinnington Jones
Ugo Carabelli
Shevchenko
Fucsovics
Women's:
Sönmez
Cirstea
Parks
Rus

A retiring Kvitova is obviously a dangerous banana skin on this surfce for Real Rich Emma in the first round. I think Petra will be ready to go for it in the first two rounds with an eye on a possible third round farewell clash with the reigning champ and fellow Czech Krejcikova.

The illusionist has a fairly sweet run in the first week and the real prospect of an all Italian clash with Jannik in the quarters.
It looks like Demon might get another crack at Novak in the fourth round. How much would he feel inspired to be the player to end the Djokovic story at SW19? |

Nice too see people made picks. I'll make updates every now and then. With 16-20 picks in each division, it's possible we see one of the picks winning.

no streams on Betfair

did they have them last year?
sad to see Ons struggle all the time. I feel like she's never been the same since she had knee problems and as far as I know she didn't opt for surgery to fix the problem. this must be 2 years ago by now? then she had shoulder problems last season but I feel all this struggling comes from reduced movement |
|
By:
I really feel she's dealt with the situation very poorly. she's 30, not 35. Jess Pegula is 6 months older than her yet moves like she's 5 years younger

Ons called the physio, seems upset

Osty doing Osty things ,from 5-2 up loses set 7-5.
|

By:
BF used to always stream it. I think it's been a bit more hit and miss in recent years.
|
|
By:
Bet 365 show all or most of the matches ,or of course there is BBC I player.

By:
Ons tapped.

Ostapenko really is a joke of a player. no effort put in to that match at all. last point summed it up
|
|
By:
A sporting hug from Osty at the end ,well done for that ,and well done Kartal.

By:
BFLV up now

the sporting hug just shows how little she was bothered about losing
|

glad bf have got streams after all, not used my 365 account in years and didn't want to rely on iplayer

Some muggery play going on in Norrie v Agut - Norrie gave him masses of chances to break back, but he kept missing all.
|
|
By:
15 UEs from Agut - must be close to his worst in a set.
|
|
By:
will Carlos lose a set to Oliver Tarvet?
|
|
By:
has anyone got any idea what lehecka's doing. losing a set to dellien on grass is beyond smelly
|
|
By:
Thought that was v poor too, Lehecka supposedly the 'new thing' on grass too...
|
|
By:
Norrie starting to come under pressure now, finally from Agut
|
|
By:
if i believed in results to order, leheckas match would be a prime candidate. dropping the first set was never likely to affect the outcome
|
|
By:
Norrie looks rattled, and not had too much match form recent...

Easy for the German Pocket Rocket against the Tower of Yangzhou.

Norrie/Agut has look of constant muggery as Agut now gets broken back
|
|
By:
true. Just like Bet365 who told me that the reason I wasn't able to access streams for Wimbledon qualifying this year, which I had benn from 2005-2024, was because of restrictions made to my account in 2019.

"Another high seed who was not graced by luck was number 3 in the world Alexander Zverev. If he survives Arthur Rinderknech, who can kill a small animal with his forehand when it’s on but unfortunately when it’s off the only thing he kills is birds circling the stadium"
from Andrea Petkovic's pre-Wimbledon write-up. What a poet |
