Protests at Wimbledon so annoying, especially with all the rain delays as well..! :(

People have had to be searched so delays in getting in. Makes me laugh that Just Stop Oil is funded by Dale Vince the owner of Forest Green Rovers FC. Wonder if he would like it if people invaded the pitch whilst he was watching his team. Wonder how he would like it if all the fans had to be searched more stewards had to employed increasing his business costs and causing delays inconveniencing supporters

Exciting wait for the final - Djokovic vs Alcaraz....my money is on the younger player, but Djokovic is very hard to beat..

Great match...well done Alcaraz only twenty years old, what a talented player.
Hope he stays at the top for a very long time..

I’ve never watched a tennis match before but, even though I don’t know the rules, really enjoyed it today

I swear Carlos Alvarez was holding that racket by his fingertips at one point !

I did feel that Novak Djokovic was bouncing his balls for an unnecessary length of time before serving but maybe that’s part of the game.....

I was rooting for Alcaraz today, so I was delighted to see him win - but it was a close fought match and Djokovic seemed to be getting the upper hand at some points in the match.
I have never been keen on Djokovic in the past as he often appears as quite arrogant - though I must give him credit for being a great player and he showed good grace and sportsmanship in his post-match interview today.

A very enjoyable final match and I thought they both played brilliantly.

Djokovic takes the maximum time allowed when preparing to serve - there is a time limit ,and he was given a warning during the match.

What a great game, we put the TV on hold for free quarters through the match to get some tea then the phone rang, it was a friend across the square we had to shut her up before she told us the results.
Good Game, Good Game, who said that?

What a brilliant final men's match today. Both players were eloquent and gracious in winning/defeat.
