    I understand the level playing field argument but I think allowing people to do what they want could cause massive health issues in the future, you need to protect them.

    Alcaraz vs Rune today. Should be the match of the tournament.

    Alcaraz will beat Rune in utter style today, i expect him to win in straight sets. Match of the day for me is Eubanks v Medvedev.

    Chris Eubanks has been nothing short of Sensational in this year's Wimbledon, no wonder he is my Boxer Ruby Roo's favourite Tennis player now

    Entertaining match indeed. Don't know that much about Jabeur's final opponent Vonderousova but my money's on Jabeur. Hope someone like Alvarez or Medvedev's takin the Wimbledon trophy instead of Djokovic cos I don't like him but probably no one can stop Djokovic atm.

    Djokovic can just stay in points he has no right to. That one to put him 4-3 up in the tiebreak a prime example. That was Sinner’s point all day when he clipped the net and it fell over. The guy is just unbelievable. Not the most naturally talented player ever, but when you combine all the necessary qualities to be a top tennis player, he comes out on top.

    Coming into the tournament Vondroušová was the Czech number 7. :56:

    The strength of Czech women's tennis is mental.

    Aye, she absolutely bottled it. Silly amount of unforced errors.

    British winner in the men's doubles though.

    Djokovic for the win tomorrow, at 36 he's still unreal.

    Djokovic is unbelievably talented, but ultimately a vile *. Taking the huff at Alcaraz and Sinner getting support from the crowd in the last two games.

    Borderline cheating in how long he’s taking between points here as well.

    He must be one of the most unlikeable champions the sport has ever had
