Day Seven was Golf Monday in the Box, with Sam Torrance, Ian Poulter, Paul McGinley, Lee Westwood, Jamie Donaldson and Miguel Angel Jimenez all present.
While Poulter just about managed to adhere to the dress code, the Spaniard's presence was made known by the tell tale waft of cigar smoke. In any case, it is good to see a range of sports being honoured. Is it Darts Tuesday up next? Lacrosse Wednesday?
You will recall us moaning about the lack of Scots - and the preponderance of English rugby players - in the Royal Box to watch Andy Murray on sporty Saturday. But instead of just complaining and being negative Nellies, we've decided to come up with positive alternatives.
But we need your help. So suggestions please about which people of a Scottish persuasion should be invited into the Royal Box on Sunday should Murray make it into the final.
Frankie Boyle is an obvious shout - he would keep the other guests amused during lulls in play with his perceptive but always polite remarks. And Mhairi Black deserves a big day out after getting a first in her degree and grief from that history professor. Anyone else? Over to you.
There was one of Wimbledon's famous 'special' atmospheres on Centre Court on Saturday night. This occurred when the match between Gilles Simon and Gael Monfils, stopped due to bad light on Court No 1, was played to a finish under the Centre Court roof. What this means is that loads of normal people were allowed in there. And lots of drunk people.
Sometimes too much atmosphere can be a bad thing. Stung by criticism about the format, the BBC are making panicky changes to their revolutionary Wimbledon show with Clare Balding. From its supposedly innovative setting amid wine-bar style tables and an enthusiastic audience at Wimbledon Park golf club, it is back to a more conventional studio, sans audience, at Centre Court. Rather than light-hearted items such as home video clips of babies playing tennis, apparently they are going for the revolutionary approach of showing highlights of the day's play.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
