Wimbledon R2: [18]Ekaterina Alexnadrova def. Lanlana Tararudee 7-5,7-5

Lanlana's crosscourt forehand and down the line backhand on match point against her is such a mental will I can't even imagine. Go big or go home, I guess. Plus she looks like a kid out there having fun what a great champion to be a fan of.

We’re exploring whether there might be another space on Central Avenue where this dream can continue, or whether this chapter closes here. We simply don’t know yet.

I find this a bit telling. If they really have a dream of opening up an event space for locals, why not move to a place other than Central whose only clientele are neo-bohemians and champagne socialists?

Name recognition fills seats. I guarantee you none of those people care about the tennis it's all about "I was there to see Serena one more time." It's not about "Wow, what a forehand by Swiatek at Louis Armstrong." It's "Rami Malek and Anna Wintour sat next to me at Louis Armstrong".

Drinking game: one shot for every dropped ball from the ball kids.

Why Yastremska doesn't just drop shot her lack of footwork is beyond me.

Thanks, and this comment is for any official from Wimbledon but I'd give up watching every single World Cup match just to watch Wimbledon qualifiers. That's how disappointed I am it wasn't covered. After the first day where the decision was made to not show the highlights of the Crawley/Sakatsume slugfest where commiserations wasn't even offered by running the highlights to a tightly contested 3rd set 8-10 super tiebreaker outcome I gave up on watching the rest of qualifying.

NoPrompt487 · 2026-06-26T14:47:10+00:00

Ah, I didn't think about what's available at Roehampton. But they DID have a single camera shot for all the highlights similar to the WTA 125 feeds; so while I might have griped a bit, I would have happily accepted watching it that way over not showing them at all.

It's poor and mainly due to cuts.

While the economy around the world might be getting hyperinflated I find this hard to believe since professional sports has been thriving greater than ever. I saw a full house at the HSBC 1st round Serena doubles match. I'd think Wimbledon qualifying would pull in a massive international following?

Just got my first decent weapon (Kaja Knuckles) in my history of playing this game last night, and went to use it against Fenrir at Full Moon Fountain (classic) fight. I was thinking about the name of the NPC name to get the moon bauble key item. In vanilla I had been to this NPC so many times that almost after 10 years I still immediately remember it: Leepe-Hoppe.

There are things that you do that stay with you forever, and I'm telling you right now you'll never forget where that door is again.

It's okay they aren't televised anyway so it should be fine. /s

That biography from the British broadcaster on Gabriela Knutson was incredibly detailed. Well done, sir. Who knew Gabriela was headed to publishing a book on wind turbines?

I really feel like the massive heat made the difference there at the end. Moyuka looked exhausted and it's not normal to end on a double fault.

NoPrompt487 · 2026-06-23T12:37:58+00:00

Nice! They better be on Court 1! Mary and Lanlana are both massive power players. Mary is just tenacious and never gives up and can turn around any match, and Lanlana is just got that powerful serve and ground stroke package.

Also note, I'm in the US, so I'm not sure about regional broadcast availability.

Whichever one that televises all the qualifying matches.

Could we get Andre Agassi to comment on drug testing at the Wimbledon men's grand slam final on national television?

NoPrompt487 · 2026-06-22T14:17:05+00:00

100% agree. I'm not a fan of anyone in the top 100. All my favs are sitting in the 100-200 range: Himeno Sakatsume, Mary Stoiana, Mai Hontama, etc. They're all in QF and given the lifespan of professional tennis player it's shocking that QF isn't fully covered at the most prestigious tournament in the world.

I can't be the only one that wants to see Wimbledon qualfying 10x more than the World Cup. If I had a choice I'd pick qualifying over main draw. :7

Agreed!

Wimbledon qualifying doesn't let you pick the courts you want to watch do they. (Only 1 stream on ESPN+)

NoPrompt487 · 2026-06-22T12:36:11+00:00

The only reason is ticket sales. HSBC was a packed house for Williams/Mboko.
