I am so fed up with this QR thing. One of the things that was a beauty was to keep your Wimbledon pass. It was a gorgeous memento.

Once. 1995. A wonderful day, and I did keep that ticket for a long time. It was very pretty.
Now, the QR vanishes as soon as the tournament is over.

I think I still have my place card from the queue when we went in 2004.

Berrettini was probably Sinner's toughest opponent on the road to SF's. What an unlucky draw...

Agree. It should be smooth sailing from now on, and short three setters until the SF. He should get there fresh.

I agree with the overall sentiment, but If Struff gets to the quarterfinals, he will give Sinner problems. Took him to a third-set tiebreak at Halle while playing poorly.

But I'm a band of one when it comes to Struff. There's a reason he's never done much in a long career, but I can't figure out what it is when I watch him play on clay or grass. Massive serve and clutch serving. Massive forehand. Good volleying skills. Movement is weak, but there are plenty of guys in that category with less game than he has who have had better careers. Huge match for him tomorrow against Medvedev. At age 34, this may be his last shot to go deep in a slam for the first time.
