Nice memories there inivisbleman. A few people included Nasser have shared anecdotes about how Warney so often made time to engage fans and spectators. Mark Waugh was notoriously the grumpier sibling too wasn't he?

I don't get fans jumping on the England team this week. Need to give the Windies some respect; that burgeoning team on homeground and in those conditions...thats actually a decent first innings total.

How's this for a pitch invasion - it happens a couple of minutes in. My sister and her family were there. There are some great stories - 2 of the Swans players (in red and white) had to exit the ground, walk around the street and get back into the stadium on the other side due to the crowd.

Wow, haven't been paying attention and hadn't seen that. You couldn't make a crowd of people closing concentrically on a point look more epic with computer animation. Visually spectacular.

Rafael fucking Nadal.

¡Increíble!

flobaba

The Swiatek era begins?

She looks a formidable champion. Absolutely dominant this year.

4-3 second set This looks too easy for Nadal. Crazy how far away in talent the next bunch is. Just absurd. It’s been so long. The older people are supposed to be getting worse and the newer gen is supposed to be bettering on them.

22 for Rafa!

anyone think he's gonna retire soon? Sounds like because of his foot, he's skipping wimbeldon

arsedocmd

Could prolly win on clay with one foot going by todays match

Rafa=goat

He has to play Wimbo because this is his best ever chance of winning the career grand slam.

First time he has won back to back Grandslams since 2010!

First time he has won first two majors of the year!

It's the Jonny Bairstow show in Nottingham..

Astonishing innings. Situation was perfectly suited to him essentially needing to play a T20 like innings.

I was hoping to get home and watch some of the carnage, but I basically only got to see the last over. Seems Brendan has, to use a well known phrase, taken the handbrake off the England team.

Meanwhile, I don't follow golf too much, but did anyone see Matt Fitzpatrick's bunker shot on the last hole of the US Open yesterday? Incredible vision, decision making and execution and it won him the title. Unreal.

Asterix

Yep it was a truly champion shot. Really pleased for him. Poor Zalatoris has come close a lot recently.

nick kyrgios, so entertaining lol

IBL

Would love for him to go all the way!

He’s an utter cunt but box office

I dunno what he's like outside of competition, so I say this with a lot of hesitation, but I wish more players were like Kyrgios than not as a general rule. Tsitsipas being distracted by him is kind of pathetic, and calling for his behavior to be banned is a bit rich considering the way he reacted (firing balls into the crowd, drilling them straight at his opponent, etc.).

RocktheCasbah

I didn't see the whole match, but basically saw it from just after Tsitsipas smashed ball the ball away and was lucky not to hit someone. Seemed to me that Krygios completely got into Tsitsipas head and then backed it up by playing some ridiculous tennis. The febrile atmosphere seemed better suited to the US Open than Wimbledon, but that just made it more exciting, I thought it was great.

KingslandBarge

Found Kyrgios' trick shot serves, hassling between serves and referee bullying to be unsavoury viewing. To me, both should have had a point deducted not Tsitsipas solely. That was pivotal though ultimately Kyrgios was clearly better

Was at the GP yesterday. What a race and Silverstone is set up so we’ll for fans
