It has lost its appeal. I recommend watching pretty much nothing in the 1st week apart from highlights of an upset. Then maybe miss the 4th round (last 16) in week 2. QF and semis and finals are probably still worth watching. Similar to the Euros. The reason for that is Murray winning it ! For years the nation clinged onto the hope of a British champion. it gave Wimbledon that mystique. Henman getting ever so close, the brave British underdog with a Nation in his corner. It was so quintessentially British !! It was always this year....this year....next year...next year for sure !! Now Andy Murray has won it - Twice !! All that is gone. He has ruined Wimbledon

Remember Murray is Scottish but there's still been no champ from England for ages... so there's till something to get upset and moan about...

Improvement with technology especially with the surface is a big reason it's lost the x factor. All on the baseline, no serve and volley or diving about with miraculous point saving/winning shots. I personally hated the Sampras era. What a dullard. I got back into it with the Federer/Nadal/Djokovic era but it's losing its appeal again.

At least we never have to hear Virginia Wade's lugubrious voice again.

Let's hope someone can come along to break the stranglehold of the Williams brothers.
