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

Possibly a second opinion will be needed fuckme. Djoko? bit of an animal.

I am not slightly interested in tennis. DH does like it though. Yesterday we were talking about it and DD tried to explain the rules to me.
I think she's adapted our swingball rules because I am sure that tennis matches don't end when the ball goes to the bottom or top and the loser doesn't have to put the string back up to the middle.

fuckmepinkandcallmerosie · 20/06/2011 13:55

I think Djoko would be FILTHY

But I'm having Goran, since I'm old and he's old. And I think he would be AMAZING in the sack.

I've seen more flattering pics of Nadal - you could always keep your eyes closed i suppose....

DoodledGirl · 20/06/2011 13:57

And could that be a smile on Murray's face? Shock

DoodledGirl · 20/06/2011 13:58

Awwww shucks! Rosie beat me to it...

i used to lust after Patrick Rafter- never forgave Goran for beating him in the final that year - although it was an excellent final.

I miss Marat Safin- he was GORGEOUS

snowbiz · 20/06/2011 14:04

Goran's not old. Sue barker is old (not that I'm shortlisting her, just putting things in context).

HappyAsIAm · 20/06/2011 14:04

I saw (on TV only, sadly) that Gustavo Kuerten was at the French Open final. Gawd - he is gorgeous! And I say that as a rafa fan (who is bloody gorgeous too, but just not as gorgeous as GK)

DoodledGirl · 20/06/2011 14:07

Just did a couple of random clicks on this

not baaaad

mmmmm

.....this is okay right? not terribly sexist or something Grin

Anyway - back to the tennis....

Raahh · 20/06/2011 14:08

Goran is 3 months older than me ( I actually thought he was younger than that!)

He has aged better than me!

fuckmepinkandcallmerosie · 20/06/2011 14:08

I'm older than Goran but only by a couple of years and I so would....

I don't want to watch Vera, I want some fellas to lust over

snowbiz · 20/06/2011 14:13

This thread started off so well. It was all about the tennis. Now look at the direction it is taking.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/06/2011 14:15

If I must join in with the speculating

Rafa: polite but naughty. Deft.
Rog: dull.
Murray: athletic, filthy.
Djokovic: dirtbag, funny, inventive.

Don't actually fancy any of em though. Haven't lusted after a tennis player since Stefan Edberg when in my teens.

Raahh · 20/06/2011 14:15

Showbiz- turn over!

I hate it when they switch channels mid match!

Raahh · 20/06/2011 14:16

Edberg was MINE

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/06/2011 14:17

OK Raahh. I'm not that bothered. Bet he's ageing really badly anyway.

As is Boris IMO.

snowbiz · 20/06/2011 14:18

Thanks Raahh. Back with the men. Liking the colours on this years ladies towels. You see, while I was watching them I went all domestic. Thank goodness you rescued me.

Raahh · 20/06/2011 14:21

Oh, yes, the towels.

One of my prized possesions is a 1990 Wimbledon towel (i didn't actually go that year, got it from a girls whose dad worked there and had a collection).

and i agree, re Stefan, he is not what he wasSad

Raahh · 20/06/2011 14:37

Mardy Fish.

Wtf were his parents thinking??

Ariesgirl · 20/06/2011 14:45

I am proud of the fact that I turned the thread in this direction Grin

Ah yes, Pat Rafter.....he would have been divine. But when Goran won Timbledon, it was one of THE moments in tennis.

Did anyone see Rafa's muscles just then? One old lady had her binoculars trained on him from the posh seats. I agree about Djoko - an animal. And Andy M almost looks handsome in that photo. Shame he doesn't smile more.

Will this thread run for the fortnight?
