I watch Wimbledon on SKY sports -the best thing is I can knock off the commentary and just watch the tennis and hear the noise from the court.

Wouldn't mind the Beeb commentary with McEnroe but you don't get it on SKY unfortunately.

I love the Golf, used to enjoy the tennis, back when personalities played the game.

Thank you for the "K" He's not a bad actor either saw him in an episode of NCIS playing himself and a double, his double was nothing like the real Mccoy, me was meek and mild like me

Great match on at the moment - Djokovic is giving Nadal a hard time!

Switch on the TV Cashy and get watching - Nadal has a really gritty personality -don't think he's going to take losing the last 2 sets lieing down!

VAMOS!!!!!!!!

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2012
Well, I'm exhausted, after nearly 6 hours of superlative tennis. Think i need a lie down

Still haven't worked out how Djokovic managed to win - Nadal was incredible too!

French Open, next Grand Slam - a bit of a wait. Quite a different tournament, different surface and atmosphere - the Aussies are a noisy lot of tennis supporters! The favourite on clay has to be Nadal.

Hope Murray keeps practising his new approach and does well there too. Can't wait to see him in the Wimbledon Final
