They've swapped the singles, and doubles finals - which makes sense to give a better time slot to the singles finals. So there's still tennis on at the usual time, but with more people on the court. Not sure if that helps.atlpam wrote: ↑Wed Jul 09, 2025 4:31 pm For as far back as I can remember the Wimbledon finals started at 9:00am Eastern time.

Brunch at Wimbledon? Still has a ring to it.

Rybakina seems to lack the champion's mindset, falters in tight matches, so I dont give her a better chance, despite her game being so well suited to grass.. Paolini's footwork, movement and volleying, makes her a genuine contender.
Pegula doesnt really have the class to win a major but she is getting closer.. so who knows? Defending champ Krejcikova appears to be injured, still.. Vondrousova seems to be back..
Andreeva doesnt seem ready yet, on grass - though Conchita was an unexpected champion here, so Andreeva could, too. Sabelanka is a bit less dominant than I expected her to be..
It seems like time is going backwards towards 1984 . . .

What were the odds of the final we actually got?
The WTA is unpredictable. Add grass to the mix, and it is a game of craps.
9th year in a row with a first time winner.

I still do. The menu is like my Thanksgiving. I've never cooked Thanksgiving dinner but I live for making Breakfast at Wimbledon. I'm so glad I saw this message about the swapped time slots. I'll still serve bagels, scones, strawberries and cream, grapes (for the colors), Scotch eggs, cucumber sandwiches and macarOns at 9 am, though.ti-amie wrote: ↑Wed Jul 09, 2025 5:47 pmWe used to do breakfast at Wimbledon too.

I prefer the term competitive to unpredictable. It shouldn't be the No. 1 and 2 in the finals all the time, or one of them winning. The other players are no slouches.

True, but with women, we may need more than 1% for rest of the field.

Re: ATP WTA GS Wimbledon 6/30 - 7/13 2025
You and I have been in disagreement about the WTA's parity for a while (a long while). But, as Megan said, with the WTA being so competitive and grass being such a peculiar surface, predicting any match is perilous. Notice the winners for the grass season:
Maria won Queens. Pegula won Bad Homburg. Both out in R1 at W. Winners included Joint, a basically unknown player. At W, Sierra, an Argie on grass, made 4R, and Siegemund took one set from Sabalenka.
In the past, clay was the great equalizer. Not anymore. Grass is now the new fudge factor. In the WTA, a lot can happen on it.
