Play begins at 5a on ESPN(+). 

Men's draw

Added a poll just to be different. Kinda winged the last few names. 

 

Ladies' draw

Elena in Iga's top half, Aryna down with Coco. Aryna claims to be injured. 

Still hard to believe Vondrousova is the defending champ.

British tennis star Sonay Kartal, 22, won the first professional match of her career beating Romania’s 29th-seed Sorana Cirstea 3-6, 6-2, 6-0.

The Brighton-born ace had never before won a Tour-level tie - and was dumped out of SW19 in the first round of the last two editions. 

Playing a little fast & loose with the word 'star'.

Vondrousova winning last year didn’t make any sense. And now she’s out in the first round…

…makes last year seem even more unbelievable.

Before last year’s Wimbledon she had like 4 or 5 career wins on grass. And 2 of those came last year.

I don’t know if she played any grass tournaments before Wimbledon, but the defending champ losing in straight sets in the first round is loco.

Anybody know the best way to get tickets other than their queue? Brother and I are headed there on Sunday and will be there through Friday. We'll attempt to get in daily via the queue til we actually get in!

I've only been once and it was during the 2nd week and I stood in their queue for it. Hoping for the same results!

you'll get in if you queue but the wait's like 3 hours so don't get there at 4pm, get there earlier so you'll have enough time to wander the grounds. if you don't want to queue they do resell debenture tickets but they're $$$.  i've also had friends tell me they've used the wimbledon app to find tix not used by ballot holders but it's super rare apparently.  i've never tried that.

There was a promo on TV showing photos of different players and I thought, "who the hell was that" after one women's picture.  I guess it was Vondo.

I like watching Navarro. She was dropping it in the bucket today. I kinda thought it would go like this. Hoping she can make a run for the finals.

Well, JPeg is flying home, oops. 

Some thoughts:

  • Both Navarro and Pegula come from super rich families.  I've played at clubs in the Northeast where they paint the past club and national champions names on framed wooden boards in gold leaf paint.  People like Conde Nast and Jay Gould had win streaks a decade long.  Looks like history is repeating itself now.
  • Alcaraz, Sinner, and Goff are fugly.  In the words of Snoop Dogg, "Ain't you got any pretty people?"
  • Rimbo voted for "other" in the poll.  Now who might that be?
  • Here's Lulu Sun.  She's from New Zealand:

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm celebrating Summer on the stoop of my brownstone with my homies and box of White Claw.
