I'm watching the second game from this afternoon. Someone should force Andrew Castle to sit down and listen to hours of how Dan Maskell did it. He might then learn that you don't need to fill every second with your voice.
The difference in the amount of trivial yapping is amazing.

ETA: Actually, it's not that which annoys me the most. It's Castle's arrogant assumption that he's the expert and none of us know anything about what we have just seen so he has to tell us what we have just seen.

Maskell always seemed to assume that we would know and didn't need telling.

Wimbledon will distribute £10m of prize money to the 620 players who would have taken part in the 2020 Championships. Singles players who would have been in the main draw will be given £25,000, with qualifiers, doubles and wheelchair players also each receiving money.

Also, it has been announced that from now on, seedings will now follow ATP rankings, rather than being weighted to account for previous results on grass.

A lot of the lower ranking players will be suffering financially now.

Only got to see him on the big screen on the hill,but even that was an experience.
