Für mich könnte des beim Arzt und beim Einkaufen und immer bleiben

Ich glaube kaum, dass die Masken nach Aufhebung der Maskenpflicht gleich verboten werden, insofern kannst du das ja auch so machen

Beim Einkaufen sehe ich persönlich jetzt nicht unbedingt die Notwendigkeit, aber wenn man sich beim Arzt ins Wartezimmer setzt, macht das doch Sinn. Kann ich mir schon vorstellen, dass auch in Zukunft so zu machen. Dafür braucht es aber keine Maskenpflicht, ich kann schon selbst entscheiden, was für mich sinnvoll ist und was nicht

Als Präsidentin des All England Lawn Tennis Club, das umfasst alle ausgetragenen Wettbewerbe.

wer wird sein nachfolger? seine frau hab ich auch schon länger nicht in wimbledon gesehen.

Man munkelt, dass Kate übernimmt

Die Frau hat wohl 2001 zuletzt nen Pokal übergeben, nachdem es einen Disput mit dem Club gab. Wollte irgendwelche Kinder mit in die Royal Box nehmen, was ihr mit der Begründung untersagt wurde, dass nur Kinder, die von der Königsfamilie abstammen, dort rein dürfen ...

Sharing the triumphant highs and agonising lows of Wimbledon’s competitors has been a privilege
HRH The Duke of Kent9 July 2021 • 9:30pm

There has always been something rather special about Wimbledon. After over five decades as president of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, I thought I knew that better than most, and yet, as I arrived at those hallowed courts once more last Monday, I was struck by the electricity in the air, as if it were my very first visit.

Perhaps that is part of the beauty of the championship; that no matter how many times we take our seats, every visit is as exhilarating, and nerve wracking, as the last. You know what to expect, and yet, anything could happen.

What has become clear over the past fortnight is how much we have all missed shared experiences such as these. The suspension of last year’s tournament was the first of its kind since the Second World War, and so I must applaud all those at the AELTC who have worked so hard to ensure Wimbledon can be enjoyed safely this summer.

It was humbling to be joined in the stands last week by NHS employees and by those who have created the Covid-19 vaccine. Without their tireless efforts, none of us would have had the opportunity to gather as we have done, and we owe all of them our eternal thanks.

When we talk about the spirit of Wimbledon, we say that it is always changing, yet always staying the same. Apart from my time serving overseas, I don’t believe I’ve missed a single Wimbledon. This year, as I prepare to present my last trophy as president on Sunday, I feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed its evolution.

Yes, there are new courts, two new roofs, a museum, and certainly far more screens, but those familiar staples remain – the whites, the strawberries, and of course, the unalterably high standards. But the game itself gets more exciting every year, as players reach ever higher levels of excellence and embrace the new technology - even the Hawk-Eye, on which so much can now hinge. It has been enthralling to watch.

For my wife and I to have shared in even a small part of the triumphant highs and agonising lows of Wimbledon’s champions and competitors has been a privilege.

There’s a distinct sense of pride that this quintessentially British tournament is the grail for athletes young and old, the world over. More than any other championship, they all want to win Wimbledon, and it’s this determination that has driven those endless hours of solitary practice. You can see it on the face of every competitor, and hear it in the reverent hush as the match begins. As spectators, we are united in our respect for the discipline that has got them this far.

Unlike other sports, where supporting your own country is the norm, any player who graces these courts in this corner of SW can capture the hearts of the crowd. Although, of course, it never hurts to have a British player competing for the title! Few could forget the suspense as we prayed for Sir Andy Murray’s first Wimbledon victory in 2013, and the explosion when he became the first British man to win the singles title in over seventy years.

As president, I know that every point won is worthy of recognition, but as a fan, even I have my tournament highlights. The first trophy I ever presented as president was to Rod Laver, following his astonishing win in 1969, securing his fourth Wimbledon title. Since then, there have been too many edge-of-seat moments to count. And yet I cannot help but think of 2007, and the then four-time defending champion Roger Federer taking on Rafael Nadal – a masterclass on both sides, and some of the best tennis I’ve ever seen. Several sets in, I still could not predict a winner. Federer took the trophy that day, but as we know, Nadal had his moment the next year, and not for the last time.

It has been an honour to serve this remarkable organisation for as long as I have. The presidency of the club was held by both of my parents, and the weight of representing an institution that holds such a unique place in our nation’s fabric has not been lost on me. To say I will miss it is an understatement.

For now, though, we can all look forward to what is already an historic weekend in British sport. Our Wimbledon finalists are ready for one last push, and any of them would be deserving of the prizes they are fighting for. But having previously served as the president of the Football Association for nearly 30 years, my thoughts will also be with the England squad at Wembley, and hoping against hope that it is indeed "coming home".

Kann man sich noch anmelden? Chancen sind ja jetzt so groß wie noch nie

Zumindest fürs Fußballturnier scheint mir da eine echte Chance zu bestehen

Federer sagt seine Teilnahme bei den olympischen Spielen ab

Prince of teck und hotelbar.

Aber ist ganz nützlich, so konnte ich seinen Ausweis für den Einlass nutzen

Zitat von rob077

und christian ?

Schläft seinen Rausch im hotel aus

Salito, panthera, letsgo und ML vor Ort

Bitte keine verräterischen Fotos posten, so lange wir noch vor Ort sind

Echt anstrengend, wenn man die Hände die ganze Zeit so halten muss, dass sie von jedem zu sehen sind

Zitat von Beda_PF

um endlich wieder mal @MonsieuL am Ballermann zu treffen

War übrigens das erste mal, dass ich auf Mallorca war

Zitat von Christian

ich sowieso, hatte zur Sicherheit noch nicht mal meinen Ausweis mit

Am Stadion musste man dann aber improvisieren

So konntest du dich auch mal 5 Minuten als Fußballexperte fühlen!

Zitat von peksim

na ja ..deswegen nimmt özil immer kolašinac mit … und was machst du …schleppst christian mit

Der hat gemütlich 2 Meter daneben gestanden, die Szenerie beobachtet und an seinem Baguette geknabbert

Hat mir das Geld aus der Hand gerissen und abgehauen. Aber schon krass sowas
Aber jo, Schaden war überschaubar. Hatte auch den Geldbeutel in der Hand, wenn er den geschnappt hätte wäre deutlich übler gewesen ...

Grade in London auf offener Straße ausgeraubt worden

Bin ich blöd oder warum kommt bei Sky nirgendwo das Spiel von Zverev (Sky Ticket)?
