I wouldn't be as bothered if it had been announced with the other wild cards, but all the 'will she or won't she' talk has been a bit much.

There’s talk now of weight loss drugs being banned in tennis, as Serena has openly talked about taking them and it’s obviously helped her get down to a weight that means she can be more competitive.

She’s had her time. That wild card could have gone to someone else.
Realistically that WC would have gone to some private school Brit who'd be put on Court 17 and have no chance of making it past R2. So I think Serena is deserving enough tbh!
 
At 44, nearly 45, I don't know what she has left to achieve. It seems like her return is more of a weight loss achievement and this is her end goal. Why do so many aging sportspeople seem to struggle letting go?

She could go and coach young players. The younger players look up to her, so it would make so much sense to do some coaching on the side.

Sge wants her children to see her play.
Depending on fitness she should still be capable of beating 50% of the field.
 
Coverage of Eastbourne is rough at the moment. Losing the picture, losing sound, putting the wrong sound over the current match. Someone’s having a bad day 😆 I’m trying to watch JPJ / Trungelliti - which is tricky because I like Marco but feel like I’m supposed to support JPJ lol
 
Jack Draper is playing a lucky loser now. Yes the coverage is bad. Not helped by Starmer resigning so it’s only on iplayer.
