New thread, before the other fills up.

Allez Tsonga!

Come on Stan!

Next up, Djok and Murray. If the hail stays away!

Oh they're booing, that's not nice.

Oh, hello Grin

I have just posted on the old thread that I don't like on-court interviews- especially at this point in the tournament. I think they should go off together.

The booing is rude. But they have been like that all tournament- more so this year, I've noticed. Or maybe I've just seen more matches including French players?

I remember the French crowd as being loud but I don't remember out and out booing before? Boris seems to have aged a lot recently.

I must admit, it's an odd feeling knowing I can go off and make dinner, and I won't miss anything - because I don't really care who wins.

But i think it will be Djok.

Who was the poster on one of the old threads who loved Boris?

Ha! Andy handing it to Petchey - "Yes, I think the number one player in the world tends to be the best player" Grin

Was it Seizethenight? Think she name changed to something else? Yes, she liked Boris.

Djok wearing the bright orange. He will be like the invisible man in the bright light. Grin

Is she still with us I wonder. Maybe seeing Boris will lure her out. I must say, I won't fight her for him, he's all hers!

Here we go then. I'm all for Djok.

Sheesh. This could be a long match.

Are they really going to blame his back if he loses? Hmm

Thanks for new thread! Grin

This is shaping up to be a long match. They're both great returners. Have to say I missed the long rallies in the Jo-Stan match.

The booing is bad. It seems to be creeping in to all sport. You'll know it's a lost cause if it ever happens in a cricket test.

Jelena looks lovely. She always does I think.

I'm for Djok too. Have never supported Murray, and I am not starting now.

(Well, I might have supported him as a team when he won the medal with laura at the Olympics).

Grouchy Grin Can you imagine it at the cricket- there would be uproar.

Mind you, I'm not sure Wimbledon will put up with it.

Oh, and now we have the camera...

I took an Austrian friend to a NZvOz one-dayer when I was at school. They had to suspend play for 15 minutes because the crowd rioted (burning sofas etc) after one of our players was given out on a no-ball. There were also many chants of "Brett Let's a wanker" (fair enough). Had to convince my friend that cricket was usually a charming sport. Grin

Would never have happened in a test match, though.

I'm supporting Murray. Always have, always will. Novak is my least favourite of the top 4.

I'd like to see Murray win, but I don't believe it will happen. He should still be proud of his form on the clay this year. I think Stan will push Djokovic to 4 in the final and I also think Djokovic is very likely to complete the grand slam this year. He is playing better than ever Sad.

Brett Lee, of course. I hate autocorrect.

Djok looks a bit rattled. Don't know why. They're both playing great.
