and the winner was the new kid on the court


overheard at the Wimbledon net from Carlos to Novak:

hey, wait for the picture!

thank you, thank you very much

move over, guys – there’s a new sheriff at the All England Lawn Tennis Club

USA Today – Sports

and his name is Carlos Alcaraz

Carlos has younger brother playing tennis – 11-year-old Jaime Alcaraz

uh, oh. Two Alcaraz brothers from Spain? watch out, tennis world.

P.S. Thanks to Pretty for keeping up with social media for this Jaime Alcaraz bulletin.

    Wasn’t it a dream match! Deeply impressed. Likely will only get better and better. Only shame about this year was Ons 😦

      Yes, this was a dream match, and I loved it! Pretty was too nervous to watch so I watched it by myself which was better for everyone except my dogs who had to endure the angst with me!
      I thought Wimbledon this year was some of the best tennis I’ve ever seen – have never been a huge fan because I prefer the clay court of Roland Garros, but this year was fabulous.
      I felt really bad for Ons. I pulled for her to win this year, but she will return. Needs new coaches, I think, but then no one asked me.

        I had to go and do something different after the first set. Glimpsing what was going on in the second I came back. Hooked for the rest of the match! Love the speed of the ball at wimbledon and the low bouncing balls. Takes someone with a more rounded game to cope. Yes, think it’s time for Ons to get a new coach. It’s there and waiting…

        Yes, Wimbledon a delight!! You and Pretty – at least you came back in the second set!
        Pretty wouldn’t listen until the last point of the match…she ain’t right. But she gets that behavior honestly – her dad is the same way.
