the womans football team play the full 90mins....
I think we would see different outcomes when its a 5 setter. You can pace yourself and strategically play more of a chess game on a 5 setter.

Doesn’t look like this one will be as close.

A lot of medical incidents today.
Used to have days where it was rained off, these days too hot.

Nice win for Anasimova after her issues. Shame for Sabalenka but someone has got to win it. It could have gone either way, just one break in it, and both had plenty of break points.
Let's see which Anasimova turns up to the final. She can just completely go missing at times, like when Raducanu thrashed her earlier in the year.
If she's on form, she could give Iga problems, given the latter hates big hitters that take time away from her. That being said Anasim doesn't exactly have great movement.

So many ill people this year!
Yep, no idea what's going on. It's hot but not that hot. I live a mile away from the AELTC and went for a 10k lunchtime run.
British people aren't used to that strange phenomenon called sunshine over here.

Not enough water I suspect. Knowing Wimbledon, too much Pimm’s/champagne.
Sat in that crowd with no airflow in full sun will affect people differently, your going to see older people feel that a lot more than young people out running or playing tennis. Its actually pretty dangerous.

It happens at tournaments all over the world. Just too many old people sitting in the sun for too long.
Fair point, I kind of forgot about the usual Wimbledon demographic

I'm not sure seeing people fanning themselves helps much either, probably makes them warmer
Yup. Just use a neck fan if you need one. A lot of empty seats in the sun.
Yeah this is the thing. A lot of people will be there for the first time without any idea of what you need to protect yourself if you’re on that side of the court in the heat for that long.
