Sir Cliff Richard was on-hand to help mark Wimbledon’s 100 years of Centre Court celebration on Sunday, but not all those tuning in were enjoying the singalong. Today marked day seven of this year’s Wimbledon tennis championships, with plenty of twists and turns across the courts. Cameron Norrie became the last Brit standing in the singles tournament this afternoon, which came just hours after a milestone was marked on Centre Court.
The Centenary Celebration was led by names such as Sue Barker, John McEnroe and Roger Federer, with some other famous faces also in attendance. One of those included Sir Cliff, 81, who treated fans to a surprise rendition of his track Summer Holiday from the stands – but some fans were not left impressed. A viewer shared on Twitter this afternoon: ‘Always wanted go to Wimbledon but genuinely terrified it would be when Cliff Richard was doing acapella again.
Not worth the risk. ’‘#Wimbledon2022 This 100yr celebration is a bit of a cringe-fest. Especially Cliff Richard,’ someone else echoed.
‘That Cliff Richard sing-along was a bit cringe. #Wimbledon,’ another added. A fan wrote: ‘So we go from an amazing montage #Wimbledon to this absolute cringe-fest with #cliffrichard with the whole crowd just in stunned silence.
’‘This centre court nonsense on BBC1 might be the most nauseating thing I’ve ever seen, and I’ve had it on mute since Cliff Richard started singing #Wimbledon,’ said a Twitter user. However, others tuning in were much more complimentary, and praised Sir Cliff’s performance, with one fan sharing: ‘Like him or not, he’s a legend. #Wimbledon.
