      2026 Wimbledon Tennis Championships.

      Every year Wimbledon FU 1 to 3 men & women draws.  This year is no exception.  One big FU is in the men’s draw, 1st round mind you.

      # 6 Taylor Fritz, USA vs Jack Draper, UK-England (not seeded).  In June 2025 (last year) Draper was ranked #4 in da World, #1 for UK-England but got a bad injury in August 2o25 and sat out for 8-9 months which saw his rankings drop down to #175.  Draper just recently (6 weeks ago) return playing on the tour again and has done well going into the Qt’s and Semi’s in some tournaments.  Draper is a top #5 player when healthy.  These 2 top players should not have been scheduled for a 1st rd match up.

      One of these guys will lose the match and mess up their chance to move up the draw.  Wimbledon has got to do a better job with their draws.  There are 2 others men and 2 on the women side.  But, Taylor vs Draper is da Big FU…  Cheers

      Serena Williams has un-retired and will play Wimbledon at 44 yrs old.  Serena played 2 dbl’s tournaments the last 3 weeks and have been practicing and getting into condition for 4 months.  All dis is for a part time come back, playing only in da majors and da bigger 1000 tournaments.

      Hm, I have doubts she will make it at 44 yrs of age.  Tennis is a brutal sport, one must be in Xlent condition, have sharp reflexes, quickness, keen eyes but at 44 these things have diminished + injuries are gonna happen.  I feel Serena might make 3 rds, but advancing further, I say Nope.  She said it’s not about money, but missed da competition of tournament play.  Good luck to Serena.

      PS.  I read a report dat when top players try a come back at past 40+ yrs old, less than 1% found success.  The only athlete dat I can recall is boxer George Forman who came back at age 45 and did well.  Oh, her sister Venus at 46 yrs old plays limited tournaments and have not gone past 2 rounds.  Dang, boxers Manny Pacquiao and Roger Mayweather Jr are trying a come back due to financial reasons.  Come on now, who will pay to see them box again?   Cheers

      Serena is a joke, she’s just like the Clinton’s and never goes away lol.

      Mrs. privileged gets a wildcard and doesn’t even have to qualify. It’s right into the first round and the main singles draw where she will play #53 Maya Joint. Serena can’t move anymore the footwork is long gone. About the only weapon she has left is her serve, and even that won’t carry her too far.

      Doubles with her sister could be a different story where they might even get into the second week.
