Wimbledon 2021

Think he just ran out of legs in the end (cf. Andy Murray). He might want one last sally or he might say "sod this for a lark".

Karolina Pliskova into the final after beating Sabalenka in 3 sets and thank fuck for that because the ridiculous screeching and squealing on every shot by Sabalenka was irritating to say the least. Ash Barty into the final too, should be a good one.

Yeah looking forward to the Barty v Pliskova encounter. Should hopefully be a belter

^^ Yes, should be a good final - I've got Pliskova to shock world number one Barty....

As for the men's semi finals today, cracking looking matches - I've took a punt on Djokovic and Berrettini to win, but both Shapovalov and Hurkacz to win at least one set.

Don't take my word for it though...

So far, so good

Italy won the EuroVision, so maybe it's their year

British pair Joe Salisbury and Harriet Dart have made it into the final of the Mixed Doubles .

Not quite. I had Djokovic and Berrettini to win, but to both lose at least one set. I failed. Again.

Good job I cashed out then...

If it's their year, that's bad news for Sunday....

Ashleigh Barty is the Wimbledon champion after a 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 6-3 victory over Karolina Pliskova.

Yeah, well done to them both, particularly Barty. All through the stories about seeds tumbling, she just kept right on going, and it felt likely to be her year.

Skupski (Brit) & Krawcyzk will play Dart-isbury in tomorrow's Mixed Doubles final, so there's a 75% chance of a winning Brit there

Novak made it 3 Slams in 2021 out of 3. Credit to Berretini for getting the opener, he's got time on his side. Amazing to think it's 8 years since Andy Murray beat Djokovic.

Skupski & Krawcyzk won in straight sets too. So 50% British success
