Wimbledon 2026 Welcome, Wimbledon-Watchers! I have had some successful years predicting Wimbledon, but last year was not one of those! Undaunted, I now present the first four seeds from the Women’s and Men’s tournaments. Women’s No. 1 Seed – Aryna Sabalenka My original write-up, in 2021, was: “Six foot tall, and born in Belarus, she […]

Wimbledon 2025 – Week 2 Well we lost a lot of top seeds last week: …Coco Gauff, Alexander Zverev among them! The top seeds, Alyna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner look unassailable. Aryna got through the hostility of the crowd towards her by imagining they were cheering for her instead of Emma Raducanu. Sinner has not […]

Wimbledon 2025 – Week 1 Here we are again, favourite season for some! Last year was my best ever for Wimbledon predictions, I surprised myself. At the same time, I have to own the fact that my results for predicting other tournaments are average – I think that’s down to involvement. I’ve always loved tennis, […]

Wimbledon 2024 – Week 2 Wimbledon coverage was vying with Election Coverage and Euros coverage for most of last week, but hoping we can settle down to some serious tennis viewing this week! We said an emotional farewell to Andy Murray after his doubles match with his brother Jamie. As promised, I am looking at […]
Aspects for the week beginning 30 June 2024
Wimbledon 2024 Here we are again, Wimbledon season! I am looking at the top four women’s and men’s Seeds, while fully aware that my attempts to cover Roland Garros were unsuccessful. I tended to pick the underdog players, but that tournament went with the top Seeds. However, I learned a lot from that, and am […]
Aspects for the week beginning 9 July 2023
Wimbledon 2023 – Week 2 What a roller coaster last week turned out to be at Wimbledon! Rain stopped play, then the heat came on. The British men’s contingent did well, then were wiped out on one day (Friday). Katie Boulter lost in the women’s contest last night, to the No. 3 Seed. As usual, […]

Wimbledon 2023 – Week 1 Here we are again! Looking forward to a fortnight of high level tennis, strawberries and cream. Will Novak Djokovic scale new heights? Or will Alcaraz maintain his supremacy? As usual, I will start with the top 4 Women’s and Men’s Seeds, but will be adding new commentaries as I watch. […]

Aspects for the week beginning 3 July 2022
Wimbledon 2022 – Week 2 What a week that was: a week that saw Andy Murray, Emma Raducanu and Serena Williams out of Wimbledon, and various players (such as Berrettini) staying away due to Covid. Yesterday’s Mars-Pluto square was very much in evidence on court yesterday, in the match between Kyrgios and Tsitsipas, dubbed “the […]

Wimbledon 2022 – Week 1 It’s good to be facing the prospect of another Wimbledon fortnight! I hope to be commenting regularly, throughout, as usual. And as is my custom, I am starting with the top four Women’s and Men’s Seeds. But there are some interesting wildcards this year, so I am likely to look […]
