Aspects for the week beginning 7 July 2024
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!

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.

Wimbledon 2021 – Week 2 We watched some nailbiting performances from Andy Murray last week, and hope that he is on the road to regaining his mojo. He says he is weighing up whether it is worthwhile, as he has put a lot of effort in training since having his last hip operation. U.K. players […]
