I competed in tennis when I was younger so would normally tune into news like this. For me the last 2-3 years have been filled with terrible news (Trump, racism, COVID) so turned my tv off 16 months ago. I didn't even find out who won the US election till 2 weeks after the fact. The lack of tv exposure has wiped events like Wimbledon completely off my radar.
That said, I've always concentrated more on the Canadian and US Open than the other tournaments. I've also grown a little tired of how dominant Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal have been for so long. Some people loved it but I found myself drifting off to watch women's tennis almost exclusively. With Andreescu injured, my interest waned. I started watching more swimming, basketball, and track instead.
