Am not denying that some genuinely love the game but many are there just to pose for social media. They have zero clue or interest in the game or those playing it. It's just Ughhh. Please let's not ruin one of the most beautiful tournaments in the world."

‘Must have hugged 7 or 8 guys!' Jimmy Connors says ‘return of serve' won Jannik Sinner Wimbledon and questions the size of entourage of Carlos Alcaraz
What was the reason for Jannik Sinner beating Carlos Alcaraz relatively comfortably in the Wimbledon final? The legendary Jimmy Connors believes it was because of Sinner's return of serves. 'It's interesting for me because everybody has put so much emphasis on the serve. This guy [Sinner] has a 140mph serve, and look at that, it's so hard. That's the biggest of all time,' said the former champion player in his podcast 'Advantage Connors'. 'But what wins you matches? That is what Sinner did yesterday. Returns. He returned the ball with authority and with purpose. Not just to get the ball in play and start the point off, as they stay in neutral. But he was looking to take advantage and to be aggressive. That is what you have to do in matches like that in the finals of Wimbledon or the US Ope or Australia, if you are going to beat the best,' he said. The website Tennisabstract confirmed Connors's observations. Sinner won 36% of his return points from the 121 serves he faced. He won a total of 44 points on returns. He was especially brutal on Alcaraz's second serve, winning 21 out of 50 second serves he faced. In comparison, Alcaraz won 31% of return points. Connors said that Sinner and his team have figured out what to do to win. 'He has figured it out, or whoever is with him has figured it out, that you are holding very comfortably, so let's put some pressure on the return or make them work hard,' said Connors. That pays dividends down the line. Maybe not right then, but at one set all and four all in the third, maybe so. It seems like he figured that out because he was very aggressive and not afraid to step in and take advantage of that second serve.' Connors also questioned the size of entourage of Alcaraz and modern-day tennis stars. 'I saw before they walked out on court, I think it was Alcaraz. He was getting ready to walk out on court and he must have hugged seven or eight guys,' he said in the podcast co-hosted by his son Brett. 'Your mum told me 'get out there and play and let's go home.'But they were hugging seven or eight guys in their camp. You have this guy and that guy, who is going to do this and that. To the point where I would have looked at that as a distraction. They look at that now differently. They look at that now that everybody is there for a reason and they have a purpose.'

Sonam Kapoor Reacts To Viral Post About ‘Desification' Of Wimbledon: ‘Indians Everywhere'
Published By : IANS Diet Sabya posted about 'desification' of Wimbledon 2025, noting the presence of several Indian celebrities including Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Urvashi Rautela, and more. Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor, who was last seen in the streaming film 'Blind', is coming out in support of the 'desification" of Wimbledon. A recent post by an Instagram handle showed pictures of Indian celebs attending Wimbledon. The post in question spoke about how there has been an uptick in influential people flocking to Wimbledon from India. Sonam took to the comments section of the post, as she wrote, 'Love the captions! Indians everywhere! So good na?". View this post on Instagram A post shared by DietSabya® (@dietsabya) Celebs like Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Urvashi Rautela, Neena Gupta and her designer-actor daughter Masaba, Janhvi Kapoor, Preity Zinta, Anushka Sharma and her cricketer husband Virat Kohli turned up at the Wimbledon. On Monday, Wimbledon paid tribute to Indian cinema for the very first time during finals. Wimbledon's official social media handle dropped a surprise post that sent fans into a frenzy. The visual mirrored the Republic Day poster of the upcoming movie 'Jana Nayagan'. Sinner struck a powerful selfie pose with his trophy, echoing Vijay's own image in the film's teaser art. The post was aptly captioned 'The First Roar", inspired by the thunderous BGM composed by Anirudh Ravichander. This marks the first time Wimbledon has saluted an Indian actor and film — making 'Jana Nayagan' the first Indian cinematic reference to be immortalized by the historic sports institution. Looking at the recent trends, Wimbledon has been chasing viewership similar to more popular sports in India like cricket given India's colossal human capital, and the advertisement revenues wired to it. The recent Wimbledon finals saw Jannik Sinner emerging victorious in an electrifying clash against Carlos Alcaraz. Jannik became the first Italian Wimbledon singles champion in the Open Era. The Women's singles defending champion was Barbora Krejcikova from the Czech Republic, but she lost in the third round to Emma Navarro. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
