Unfortunately isn’t being aired here in Aus. What ladies champs are there?

Barty? Serena? Graf? Seles? I saw Navratilova who has won the most has to miss it due to Covidz

 

[Tennfan123]

So sad for Martina. Of course she might have gotten it if they had precautions but really Wimbledon why didn’t they have some Covid security! You know Martina would have loved today so much! Sad about Becker too. And of course lovely memories of Ashe.

Seles is not a Wimbledon champion. I would be surprised if Serena stuck around. They'll have done well to get Graf to attend one of these things though I do wonder about Court.

Martina not being able to be there is just sad. Literally, of all the people, she's the one you want.

 

[Tennfan123]

Yes Frau Graf will be in Las Vegas being a mom and chilling out. As she should. Love how she just got on with life once tennis was done.

Still crazy (on paper at least) that the 5th last guy to win their first Wimbledon was Hewitt back in 2002. For the ladies it’s Bartoli in 2013.

 

[MichaelNadal]

[clayqueen]

I wonder if they will celebrate the doubles players.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Where? I can’t find a stream

The official website

 

[ibbi]

LMAO, Mac. "Sue, didn't you used to..."

 

[MichaelNadal]

Could you possibly be any more British than Tim Henman

 

[Aussie Darcy]

The official website

I'm pissed this wasn't known sooner, wish I was watching earlier! Thank you heaps of letting me know, tuned in now.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Geez McEnroe making Henmam feel awful about the lack of roof ruining his slam chances.

 

[clayqueen]

I just happened to hear them mention it in passing yesterday. They should have let people know from the first day.

I heard the announcement during my stream which actually interrupted a point in the Tiafoe v Goffin match but had no clue where to watch it. So poorly advertised.

 

[Johnny505]

Boris will be watching from his prison cell, he sends his regards and askes for another lot of replicas trophies so he can auction off to pay his fines and tax bills

Big 4 in Wimbledon since 2003 to the present.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Martina Hingis in the house!

 

[Beerus]

Epic.

 

[aman92]

Rafa out already.... To huge cheers

 

[ibbi]

less applause for Court

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Rafael Nadal coming on out!

Petra Kvitova looking gorgeous in green!

And here comes Andy Murray!

 

[ibbi]

Martina having Covid means Roger is last. Fixed.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Oh good god, not Margaret Court being there.

Halep drops her head down and Kerber barely claps. LMAO.

 

[aman92]

The Rocket in the house!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Rod Laver is there, so good to see <3

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Bjorn Borg.

And I spy with my little eye, Venus Williams next!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

That hair can only belong to one person, Queen Venus SLAYING.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Queenus

 

[Aussie Darcy]

And there he is I guess, Novak Djokovic.

 

[aman92]

Would have loved to see Sampras

[MichaelNadal]

Fed looking suave af lol

 

[helennnnnn]

Whilst this is all very nice (barring the singing earlier), why advertise play starting at 13:30 when they're doing this for who knows how long first.

 

[clayqueen]

This kind of ceremony would take 5 minutes at Roland Garros.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Won't lie, Serena could have hung around and stayed for this but still so good to see Federer.

 

[clayqueen]

Martina Navratilova wasn't even mentioned by Sue Barker. That's sad.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

McEnroe heaping praise on Billie Jean King. What an absolute icon who changed the sport of tennis for the better. Incredible.

Because nobody gives a crap about the 5 people tuning in to see Heather Watson.
