Missed the end of her match. Why did she refuse to shake hands with the umpire? Handbags at dawn!!

Oooh back just in time to track down Rafa on the red button (bloody Murray grumble grumble) and see him serve what should be the winning game unless he chokes.

RafaNadalIsMyLoveSlave · 22/06/2011 18:37

VAMOS RAFA! Grin

Ariesgirl · 22/06/2011 18:41

My red button isn't working :( I am stuck with Andy.

I disapprove of that Bethanie person

RafaNadalIsMyLoveSlave · 22/06/2011 19:07

I have Roddick now...

MyFace · 22/06/2011 19:12

I watched RAFA. OMG he was good. How crap was the other player I've forgotten his name now.

Ok, whilst googling scruffy players from days of yore, I remembered how much i really wanted to be Gabriela sabatini- she was so glam and exotic and only a couple of years older than me. As I was a dumpy teenager, she was exactly what i wanted to look likeBlush and not a bad player either. She was always much smilier than Steffi, at the time.

So, which ladies player would you like to be?

Ariesgirl · 22/06/2011 19:41

I thought Arantxa Sanchez was the bee's knees. So scrappy and feisty, like a little terrier. But Steffi was my heroine, always was, always will be

Anyone watching Robson? Her forehead is really pretty good. Remember when she asked Marat Safin to the winners' ball when she was 14? Grin He was very sweet about it, but obviously had to say no!

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 19:53

I was very jealous of her meeting Safin [sad cow]. I hope she does well- we always seem to have youngsters who are good juniors, and then cannot progress.

I loved Aranxta- because she was little (for a tennis player). as well as being dumpy, I am only 4 ft 8- so for a brief moment in 1989, during the French Open, the shorties ruled- Aranxta, and Michael Chang (though he beat Edberg).

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 19:54

Have been scrutinising Robson's forehead- then realised you meant foreHAND- d'oh!

dementedma · 22/06/2011 20:05

DH used to have a thing for Gabriela Sabatini.
going further back, does anyone remember Yannick Noah, the French player? drool..........

sharbie · 22/06/2011 20:08

about 20 years ago i was the spitting image of steffi (long nose too) now (after dcs) my face is more rounded

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 20:12

Ooh, Yannick- definitely yummy....

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 20:16

Laura has won- such a long time to get to the second round!

MyFace · 22/06/2011 20:47

Roddick looking good.

MyFace · 22/06/2011 20:48

Just finish it already.

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 20:52

I like Lynsey Davenport- she played the match i saw when i got to go to Wimbledon- (way back in 1994). She lost to eventual winner Conchita martinez- but it was a cool match.

Hope millie1 got to see something when she went today!

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 20:53

Gael Monfils is also rather lovely looking....

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 20:57

Robson against Sharapova- Robson will need earplugs- crikey, the girl can shriek.

MyFace · 22/06/2011 21:56

YES! YES! YES!

Sorry that was apprentice related

fuckmepinkandCALLmegoran · 22/06/2011 21:59

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 22/06/2011 22:04

fuckmepinkandCALLmegoran · 22/06/2011 22:06

Was watching the tennis and DD1 was on the computer and doing MN on the phone annoys me

Ariesgirl · 22/06/2011 22:16
