    Good to see Andy Murray winning his first game back. Hope he can start competing at the top again.
    Just a shame he’s wearing that *, overpriced Castore gear.

    Massive blow of course no Wimbledon of course for very obvious and very sensible reasons.But during the 2 weeks when it would have been on the BBC are going to be showing a neat collection of vintage finals and doing profiles of the all time greats.At least the weather will not affect this coverage:biggrin:

    Yes as of Monday afternoon indeed, they are kicking off with the 2008 Belting Mens final,on Tuesday they are looking at 2 Great Women's finals from the archives,and on Wednesday the Agassi,Goran final of 92,after that your guess is as good as mine,but i am sure it will feature lots of more cool footage:50:

    PS They are doing hour special progs each evening as well talking about the Greats of the past etc etc:biggrin:

    Make sure you tune in next Monday, for the 1980 Mens' Final, the classic Borg/McEnroe match.

    The one I wish they'd show again, is the Borg/Gerulaitis semi-final from 1977. The best match I've ever seen, in terms of quality of tennis.

    This coming Saturday afternoon various experts will pick the 10 Greatest Women’s Wimbledon Finals in the Open era of all time.
    Then on Sunday afternoon they will do the same for the men. Really looking forward to both afternoons.

    Fantastic to see extended highlights of Arthur Ashe’s brilliant 1975 Wimbledon final victory over Jimmy Connors this afternoon on the BBC. More than well worth catching it on the I Player.
    Ashe so cool on and off the court beating a Great Jimmy Connors:84:
    My late dad loved that final,it was one of his favourites:49:

    Not be long to the US Open! Could be Djokovic's final tournament depending on when they push the Vaccine.

    Some win for Andy Murray- good to see him back. The Japanese guy bottled it though and that Castore gear looks *.

    Djokovic disqualified from the US Open for hitting a line judge with a ball.

    This tournament was * enough without disqualifying the best player there for something that was clearly unintentional.
