That's it really. Got up, did a few bits of cleaning but have now stopped to watch the build up.

What grass? By the end of the championships there won't be any left with or without the roof.

I'm hoping for a tie break.

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 23/06/2011 16:28

true...

I think Hewitt has given up a little-
C'mon Hewitt, you can do it!
Ra ra ra

YES!

CheeryCherry · 23/06/2011 16:57

Hewitt's noisy drunken fans are gettin on me nerves! Now I am wanting Soderling to win!!

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 23/06/2011 17:05

poo.

MyFace · 23/06/2011 17:10

Noooooooooo

MyFace · 23/06/2011 17:12

I think his nerves got the better of him in the last game. Pity as he was the better player of the two.

No more real tennis until Rog. We might be having an unburnt dinner tonight.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 23/06/2011 17:28

Fuck, I don't like Soderling. Poor Lleyton. Was that his last Wimbledon then?

MyFace · 23/06/2011 17:33

I don't like soderling either, and no I don't think it's his last or the commentators would've milked that fact you know what they're like.[eyeball roll]

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 23/06/2011 17:36

Yes, true. I've been watching it secretly at work, with no sound, so I didn't hear what the commentators were or weren't saying. Smile And one hopes for a MUCH bigger send-off when he does decide to retire. He's a proper trooper.

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 23/06/2011 17:43

I have read Hewitt may be retiring- as his wife wants to settle back in Aus- they now hve 3 young dcs, and understandably she doesn't want to be up rooted so much (oldest due to start school). I hope it isn't his last Wimbledon, there are not many who play like him.

I found Rusedski's commentary annoyingly hypocritical, though, constant mention of the 'free' points (aces) that Soderlings serve gave him. And that wasn't what you relied on in your game at all, hey GregHmm

MyFace · 23/06/2011 17:54

I would've loved it if the mac was commentating I find rudeski unbelievably irritating.

Ariesgirl · 23/06/2011 18:51

Seconded. Rusedski is a shit commentator, and hark at him laughing at our summer as though he wasn't pretending to be a Brit for all those years Angry

Since when was a serve a free point? Last time I looked, you had to work quite hard on a good serve.

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 23/06/2011 19:10

That's what annoyed me, Aries- an ace is a phenomenal shot to make, and yep, watching a match where all games are won to love by shooting aces isn't great to watch- but they aren't 'cheap' shots as he kept calling them.

He held the record for the fastest serve- he prided himself on the unreturnable 'cheap' points he got. Never really liked him as a player- but he was the best we could manage at the timeGrin (apart from Tim!)

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 23/06/2011 19:15

Anyway, we need to get some totty back on the screens- I have actually been discussing actual TENNIS today! Shock

MyFace · 23/06/2011 19:22

Hear hear toyboy totty in the form of Rog maybe? Does he ever take his shirt off?

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 23/06/2011 19:38

Will have to make do with RogerGrin- I suppose there isn't any reason why they can't start the match now? The lighting and temp are at a set range, and the US open is often played at daft times of night (tv rights play a part in that i expect?)

shame about Li Na.

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 23/06/2011 19:40

Actually, no, i can't bring myself to fancy Roger- can't remember him stripping- except when he takes his posh trousers off!

Ariesgirl · 23/06/2011 19:51

I saw Roger the Todger take his top off once. It was pretty impressive, but strangely not remotely sexy or anything.

MyFace · 23/06/2011 20:02

Oh well we have to make do with his sexy playing moves then. The atmosphere is amazing in there!

MyFace · 23/06/2011 20:44

Isner saved from defeat in the third set.

Did anyone else notice that mannarino looks a bit like Nadal?

RaahhfaNadalsMyToyboy · 23/06/2011 20:57

I like Mannarinos's beard.

Federer needs a beard...he is too clean looking...

MyFace · 23/06/2011 21:02

You are right as usual toyboy The more I look at mannanrino the more I'm liking definetly smexy

MyFace · 23/06/2011 21:03

How boring is this game? Nothing exciting has happened so far, I think I've been spoilt after the hewitt match.

sayanything · 23/06/2011 21:17

I'll have the FedEx if no-one wants him, thank you.

I find him extremely sexy. He seems that he would take his time and be rather exacting and precise and really rather thorough Grin... Plus I remember him as a junior and he had quite the temper on court, smashing rackets and everything.
