For as far back as I can remember the Wimbledon finals started at 9:00am Eastern time. We typically have friends over for “Breakfast at Wimbledon” to watch the match. Now Wimbledon has messed with tradition and the match will be played 2 hours later! Wish I had realized they were changing this before we made all our plans.

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.

Brunch at Wimbledon? Still has a ring to it.

Updated Probabilities:
Men
Alcaraz 65
Sinner 25
The rest 10

Women

Sabalenka 30%
Paolini 25%
Rybakina 10%
Vondrousova 10%
Pegula 9%
Coco, Andreeva, Alexandrova 5% each
Rest of the field 1%

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..

Looks like the 1%'ers have come through to many folk's surprise.

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.

We used to do breakfast at Wimbledon too. SIGH

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.

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.

No points for being wise after the event

[ptmcmahon]

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

especially if 'rest' includes Swiatek! I agree
