The best fortnight of the year - WIMBLEDON 2016.

[magimedi]

Starts tomorrow.

Anyone else excited?

Oder of play is here

[Raahh]

I am trying to get excited- but the referendum , and Rafa not playing doesn't help.

Del Potro is playing though!(unless that has changed last minute)
This might get me in the mood.

[DramaAlpaca]

Marking place. Thanks for new thread magi.

Can't wait for tomorrow, bring it on!

[CremeEggThief]

Yep, me too. I don't think it will be as good as usual, with Djokovic in such domineering former, Roger not fully fit and no Rafael, but nothing stops me from enjoying Wimbledon fortnight. It's the only thing guaranteed to take my mind off the anger, sadness and bitter I feel as a result of the referendum result.

[magimedi]

I feel exactly the same as you, CremeEgg. Just happy I've got the to take my mind off the wretched result.

[HarveySchlumpfenburger]

Helloooooooo.

Hopefully the will take our minds off it all.

[RaeSkywalker]

Yes! Something to take my mind off the Referendum and HG.

DH hates tennis, oh dear 🎾🎾🎾

[Mama1980]

hi all, hope everyone's good? I'm going to miss the whole day's play tomorrow, typical.
Agree it's not quite the same without Rafa but heres to some of the new guys theim/zverev etc hopefully doing well.

[Mirandawest]

I do like Wimbledon

[GrouchyKiwi]

Thanks, Magi.

I think it's really great that the world number 775 has qualified for Wimbledon! Wonder if he'll win his first match.

Two weeks of lovely grass tennis. I am delighted.

[HelsBels3000]

yay!

[threebats]

The sane corner - the tennis thread... How lovely. I can't cope with the hysteria of all other things, having just sat constitutional law exams, what I read makes me want to slap the living shit out of some people... So, here you all are, as lovely as usual. I stalked you all on the other one (its fine, no restraining order as yet) as I was not up for chat much, knackered after the end of Uni and watched but fell asleep mostly through the French. But am so happy Wimbles begins tomorrow - I will arse on chair at 3pm, and hope to feel up to a chat about it all as we go along... Thank God for tennis

[AmIthatbloodycold]

Thanks Magi. Been feeling really low the past few days so hopefully the next two weeks will help

Starting to get excited. The Wimbledon app is very good

[HarveySchlumpfenburger]

That's excellent timing shitwithsugaron.

Bit unfortunate for James Ward to draw Fed in the 1st round.

[PunkrockerGirl]

So excited!!

[magimedi]

Cough... hmm, James Ward had drawn Djok in the first round..............

(Not much difference for JW)

I would love Murray to win but am in camp ABD (Anyone But Djokovitch)

And in the womens' draw I'd love to see Mugarutha (sp?) get it!

I said to DH just now that it's like Christmas Eve for me - only it's not the night before one day but 14 days!

BRING IT ON!!

[Mirandawest]

I'm very glad Wimbledon is a week later as it means I'm further through my marking and can pay more attention to tennis

[Ilovewillow]

Can't wait definitely best two weeks of the yr!

[DramaAlpaca]

I'm with magi.

I want Murray to win, but other than that I'm ABD (Anyone But Djok).

In the women's draw I'd love to see Garbine Mugurutha win this time. I'm in the ABS camp there - Anyone But Serena.

The only downside is that I have to work, so won't see as much as I'd like. I'll be able to keep an eye on the scores though, and I'll be relying on you lovely lot for the tennis gossip & chat.

Can't wait until tomorrow

[HarveySchlumpfenburger]

How did I mistype that? I was looking at the order of play as I typed it.

Good job I didn't say I'd be quite pleased if he won.

[Raahh]

Murray has a pretty cushy draw. fix

I really feel this year is very transition-y. I think Djok will win it. I really don't think anyone else is consistent enough. He hasn't had a tournament on grass, but then he never does. He is in that place that Fed was at his height.

I'm absolutely not a Djok fan or a Murray fan though. I'm ABDOM

Would LOVE someone totally random to win. But I said that about RG

will be willing on Thiem/Zverev, and Goffin/Raonic are doing well.

I've had an odd week, it ended badly, and I hope Wimbledon will stop me wandering about muttering angrily under my breatheOr ranting whilst walking the dog.(Sorry Ike).

Muguruza to take the women's crown would be fantastic.



Bring on the next two weeks! and let's hope the rain stays away.

[hugoagogo]

Two weeks of lovely tennis, I get more obsessed as time goes by

[RozTheSchnoz]

We've got tickets for court 1 tomorrow - who are we likely to see?! I know Murray and Serena will play tomorrow, but probably on centre... Excited!
