Main draw starts in 12 hours time!

 

:AUS Nick Kyrgios has pulled out tonight due to a wrist injury but he's barely played all season and his comeback would have probably been a short one anyway. One less reason for TV drama though...

Everyone has their strawberries and cream ready? :p

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

The somewhat suspicious draw of two Wild Cards ends with :UKR Elina Svitolina beating :USA Venus Williams 6-4 6-3. I still think Wimbledon made this pairing on purpose and also put it on Center Court as the only women's match on Day 1 :p

To be fair, I think there are always 2 men's matches on centre court on day 1 and always 2 women's matches on day 2 although recently, Venus Williams has tended to be relegated to Court 2 - but the organisers probably assume this will be her last year here so wanted to give her a centre court farewell and given what she achieved in the sport, who would argue with that.

I doubt Venus Williams retires anytime soon and she will always receive Wimbledon WC if she wants it. The pairing between two wild cards was always suspicious as it's clear AELTC tries to remove the stench from last year's no ranking points fiasco and also portait a pro-Ukraine stance.

 

Over in the men, Felix Auger-Alliassime is doing his best "poor man's Milos Raonic" impression with another early GS exit.
