Yep it will be as djoko is top seed

Evo on court two! More than happy with that! Probably the Brit Ive watched most in person between Wimbledon Qualies and Surbiton.

pretty sure that is still correct...certainly on opening day when they are on schedule still!

I've got a Centre Court ticket for Monday but it doesn't have the actual row/seat number on the app. Will that appear nearer the time or do they work it out from the QR code?

Monday's full OoP. Andy vs Bas third on Centre. The very best of luck to all Brits involved.

Yes tickets allocated in order so depending on how quick you were you might be front row or in the boonies. I'm so envious, I've got Court 1 Tuesday but I'd rather have Monday tickets now I know OOP. I'd be quite happy with ground pass for Monday

Oh thanks Emmsie that's kind of you. I'm really lucky, I think it's because it's a single ticket and most people want two tickets. I'm sure they'll be some great matches on Tuesday too but it's my first time on the first day of the Championship so I'm really excited.

Looks like showers about on Monday ( and orher days next week ). Hopefully little interruption but a nice Centre Court ticket guarantees watching tennis

Cheer on Andy, glare at Djokovic for me.

Excellent plus youve got Rublev, Muguruza and maybe Venus in her last Wimbledon

I went on my own for the 1st time 2019 and it was actually very liberating, to the point that I actually don't want to go with anyone again. Sadly my better nature won out and I got a ticket for a friend this year. Kicking myself as I could've gone 2 days, had a ticket in 2 different baskets, 1 for Tuesday and 1 for Wednesday, should've just bought them both for myself. Even more annoying said friend now has another ticket for Friday. I'm actually tempted to hand her one back in and take pot luck on another day with returns

C'mon all, why not add more interest to your Wimbledon watching and vote for the likely number of British MD winners across the 5 disciplines - men's and women's singles and doubles and mixed doubles.

Jon's polls have been great, remember particularly the series when we had no tennis at all. Now he intends this to be his last how many MD winners type of poll. Make it a biggee, come join the action.

The link to the poll in the tennis predictions section is :

britishtennis.activeboard.com/t67686419/how-many-british-main-draw-wins-will-we-get-at-wimbledon-2021/

You have until Monday 11am to vote. But why not vote today, vote now. Time I did so myself. See you there.

Cheers emmsie for making the link clickable. Think I've separately managed to get that sorted.
