Wimbledon starts tomorrow

Interesting moment in the first set, where Murray asked for the hawkeye, and was correct to do so. It really swang the way that particular game seemed to be going, and the momentum changed. Obviously it's a good thing to have the technology (how I wish they'd do it in footy), but interesting to see how it can change the player's mood.


Anyway, as I speak, he's a break up in the 3rd. Not getting the easy game some seemed to think he would get, but I think these people were being a bit stupid. He should still win though (I hope not)...

Agreed.


Hewitt's getting towards his sell-by date but Aussies just don't consider rolling over and dying when it comes to sport. Del Potro has been touted as an outside tip.....here's where we'll see how accurate that is.

Can someone answer me this.....


Hawkeye used to beep when a serve was out but very close to the line, but since the introduction of the new challenge system, the beep seems to have been retired, is this the case?


Not that I miss it or anything, I was just wondering about it the other day, as I have watched a fair amount of Wimbledon, but all of it beep free....

Thanks Ted, so in the past Cyclops would have decided whether a ball was in or out, whereas now its down to the players to challenge, for which they have a maximum of three in a set. interesting.


By the way, extremely saddened to see Gisela Dulko has been knocked out....

    • I had no idea about the sourcing of the paving stones - where is the info on this? The extension of the paved area seems completely unjustified- plus, there is a cycle lane right thru the middle so there are bound to be some near misses with pedestrians. 
    • That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this? 
    • I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?
    • The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside
