I hope Alcaraz wins.

Yes, me too. He was superb in the French open.

I’m going on Wednesday , have tickets for centre court. Regardless who’s playing it’s a good day out. Saying that I’m gutted Rafa won’t be there.

How wonderful have a fantastic day. Fingers crossed that you see a high up seeded player.

Yellow button without a second thought

Sorry I've got to pick the white button. I really want Alcarez to win.

And yes to getting rid of Andrew bouncy Castle, he was really rude to Feliciano Lopez when they were commentating together at Queens.

He was commentating with kyle edmund at queens and spoke to him as if his tennis career was over - awkward! He's only 28 and has spoken loads about looking forward to coming back once receoved. Castle shouldn't be employed by the BBC.

Annabelle Croft was in BBC studio. Heart goes out to her as her hubby died recently.

How can they still be so bad at roof and rain management, play resuming on the courts without roofs at the same time

someone end this!

That's so sad. She is lovely. So well spoken, so knowledgeable, and down-to-earth.

Tbh I was surprised to see her presenting, it can only be approx 3 months since her hubby passed away. I think she is incredibly brave to be back in the public eye.

The queue has been awful today with security taking ages according to lots of people. I'd hazard a guess it's thanks to just stop oil and all that

They're going to need a bigger umbrella!

I've not checked the order of play, when is Matteo Berrettini playing? He's a great player and so very good looking.

He’s playing tomorrow at noon, I think

Isn't that the VIP seats? The free seats for celebs who cannot be bothered to turn up.

I am going to Wimbledon tomorrow for the first time. Tickets for no1 court, looking forward to seeing Alcaraz play live. Really happy that i get to cheer on Norrie as well.

Just watching the Hanfmann vs Fritz on court 3. Fritz using his serve to try to get himself out of trouble.

Coco Gauff out. Can’t say I’m a fan. She’s never really lived up to her potential. But she’ll be gutted to lose in the first round as she loves Wimbledon.

I thought Venus Williams was the ultimate sore loser yesterday! What a way to behave.

I thought Venus Williams was the ultimate sore loser yesterday! What a way to behave.

I think she needs to pack it in before she ends up injuring herself badly or being made to look 2nd rate, she is too old by now. She has had her victories and glory time to move on...

Watching the welcome for Roger was so wonderful and sad at the same time. But honestly, that man has earned so much respect throughout his career, his legacy is so strong that he has transcended the sport and is respected by people from all fields. That is something that Djokovic will never get, because he hasn’t earned that same level of respect. Might seem unfair to his fans because of course, the numbers will be in his favor for a long time, but to be regarded like Fed, you need to do more than win tournaments. That’s what makes a true legend.

Roger will be so missed as a player. A pro in every way. He also looks like he smells amazing

 

[SaLou]

I really miss watching Federer play. My favourite player ever.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

I teared up a little bit watching the ovation for Roger when he arrived, and I too pondered that Djokovic will never inspire the same level of heartfelt warmth and affection.

I was cleaning my kitchen floor earlier and I found myself thinking about how pristine Roger & Mirka’s kitchen floor probably is. He is the dictionary definition of ‘immaculate’
