The Tournament:

The Wimbledon Championships, commonly known simply as Wimbledon, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is widely regarded as the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London, since 1877 and is played on outdoor grass courts, with retractable roofs over the two main courts since 2019.

Wimbledon is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, the others being the Australian Open, the French Open, and the US Open. Wimbledon is the only major still played on grass, the traditional tennis playing surface. Also, it is the only Grand Slam that retains a night-time curfew, though matches can now continue until 11.00 pm under the lights.

The tournament traditionally takes place over two weeks in late June and early July, starting on the last Monday in June and culminating with the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Singles Finals, scheduled for the Saturday and Sunday at the end of the second week. Five major events are held each year, with additional junior and invitational competitions also taking place. In 2009, Wimbledon's Centre Court was fitted with a retractable roof to lessen the loss of playing time due to rain. A roof was operational over No. 1 Court from 2019, when a number of other improvements were made, including adding cushioned seating, a table and 10 independently operable cameras per court to capture the games.

About London:

London is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom, with a population of just under 9 million. It stands on the River Thames in south-east England at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for two millennia. The City of London, its ancient core and financial centre, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and retains its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has for centuries hosted the national government and parliament. Since the 19th century, the name "London" has also referred to the metropolis around this core, historically split between the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, and Hertfordshire, which since 1965 has largely comprised Greater London, which is governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.

Stearns down in straights to Siegemund
Badosa was the first top ten player to go out

Ons didnt go to her press conference after her retirement but sent a message saying she plans to get some rest and spend time with her family

Not surprised with Osta losing she twisted her ankle at Eastbourne and retired

Lula who was a QF at Wimbledon last year, will lose a ton of points

Well I needed to pick myself up from the floor as the No 3 seed Jess Pegula who won the grass tournament Bad Homburg a few days ago was defeated in straight sets by Italian Coccoaretto ranked No 116? I had put Jess on my list of possible candidates that could be a threat at Wimbledon this year? Of course watching the womens game for over 40 years like what do I know lol! need to get myself another strong expresso!

I'm honestly not surprised. Pegula always comes up short in the slams, and most of the times to players that were much lower ranked. I'm not sure why people thought it was suddenly going to be different for Jess at 31 years old. Pegula has lost her last 2 matches at the slams to players that were ranked, at the time, 361st and 116th.

I go on current form and Jess has a good game on grass and she won Bad Homburg without dropping a set, anyway that is tennis for you

I see Barbora Krejcikova has found her groove in the 2nd set now leading 5-0 over Eala
Eala took the 1st set 63, Krejicjkova through in 3 sets 36 62 61

Samsonova (19) too strong for Joint who won the Eastbourne title leading 63 52

Muchova (15) lost the 1st set to X Wang and is losing the 2nd set down 4 love, Karolina has a game for all surfaces and again I didnt see this result happening
Muchova gone in straight sets to Wang 75 62

Another upset alert Siniakova and Zheng 1 set all , Zheng (5) gone in 3 sets 75 46 61

2 time former Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova looks like losing her first round match to Emma Navarro, Petra coming back from maternity leave this year has found the tour tough and has decided to retire for good this year
Petra in her prime on grass was a sight to behold!
Navarro wins 63 61

She never took our advice to drop down and play some challengers. Plus she's still not in great physical shape and needed to shed a few more pounds. Maybe she didn't want to put in the necessary work, but training and fitness regimens change once you've birthed a child.

Agree Keli, Petra was unfit, also should have played some challenges to get match fit

Okay just starting to watch Coco's match
Yastremska is a streaky player and Coco must be fully focused in this match
Come on Coco already down a break in the 1st set 2-5
Well done Coco with good returning now back on serve 4-5
5 games all now
Coco will serve to force a TB for the 1st set 5-6
TB it is for the 1st set
Yastremska 1st set 76(3) Coco has to raise her first serve percentage for starters serving at 44% wont get the job done
