There is a touch of the empty sports centre about it


Well done to her, but as a TV spectacle it needs some work.


Wimbledon is very classy in comparison.

Yes, someone else I know couldn't get it via internet either.

Yes, agree with both those.


Though doesn't anybody go to the net any more?! It's a long time since I watched any tennis!

Yeah it's changed a lot. The serve-and-volley game largely died out when Nadal and Federer came to dominance. I've heard people say that volleying is no longer as effective due to heavier/softer balls...

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
