I take it we are all sitting comfortably, and have the strawberries, cream and champagne at the ready ?

Here's to a fantastic 2 weeks of tennis !

VAMOS RAFA Grin

Thanks Raahhfa but I think Mirka may have something to say about that.

I agree Goran, and the Murray-Davydyenko combo is really short on laughs.

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 26/06/2012 19:32

Well, that's that then.

  • put the Roddick match on!
AnyOtterForTennis · 26/06/2012 19:32

First set tie-break in the Roddick/Baker match.

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 26/06/2012 19:34

I keep flicking between the two. Baker is alloed to put up a fight, but not winGrin

AnyOtterForTennis · 26/06/2012 19:36

That's my feeling too, Raahhfa.

AnyOtterForTennis · 26/06/2012 19:40

Roddick is cross with the line judge. Playing much more aggressively now.

noddyholder · 26/06/2012 19:42

Murray so so boring to watch. Baker looks good he outplayed Roddick but R;s serve is brilliant for tie breaks

Stilla · 26/06/2012 19:44

The most thrilling bits of that Murray match were the shots of Lendl !

habbibu · 26/06/2012 20:03

Hello all! Just been watching the Ann Keovathong match - commentators throughout (at least from when I started watching) referred to her opponent as "the Spanish lady" - Laura Pous-Tio! It's written down right there for them. Why on earth were they not using her name?

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 26/06/2012 20:10

Because the commentators are biased and rudeGrin

habbibu · 26/06/2012 20:13

Well, yes, possibly! But usually they are a bit more subtle... It can't be that hard a name to pronounce.

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 26/06/2012 20:16

No- I'm sure they managed ok with Keovathong!

Oh. It's raining on Roddick. It's looking a bit dark, so I doubt they will continue playing.Sad

LetUsPrey · 26/06/2012 20:18

Hello everyone. Bit late.

Good result for Murray. As I said to my friend last night, Davydenko's a bit of a tough first round match for Murray Blush

A career in tennis punditry beckons. Grin

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 26/06/2012 20:23

LetUsPrey- before the match, I really expected Davydenko to give Murray trouble. I'm a rubbish pundit tooGrin

CremeEggThief · 26/06/2012 20:29

On his day, Davydenko can beat anyone! It's not that long ago, he was in the top four and beating Fed at the end-of-year Masters ...

LetUsPrey · 26/06/2012 20:39

I really think the organisers need to get their act together. Robson drawn against Schiavone, Baltacha plays Kvitova next (I think - either Baltacha or Watson), Baker against Roddick - I mean could they just not fudge it a little bit? Grin

I'm keen to see how far Goffin can get.

disguisedeb · 26/06/2012 20:50

We're going next Friday, mens semis andhave centre court tickets through the public ballot Grin We're in row z , anyone else been?

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 26/06/2012 20:50

But it's traditional for us to be moan the lack of Brits in the second week (except murray), whilst secretly being pleased we can just get on with watching people who actually winGrin. So fudging would be wrongGrin

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 26/06/2012 20:52

disguisedb- Envy.

I last went in 1994Shock. I had tickets in the members bit on Centre, sat behing Sir CliffGrin (had a friend whose dad worked there).

CremeEggThief · 26/06/2012 21:10

disguisedeb, lucky you! Enjoy :).

This might be a bit geeky, but I just checked up on Davydenko. He was once number three, and is one of the very few who has a winning record against Rafa!!

I knew there were good reasons some of us tipped him to push Murray to the max!

Oops! Sorry guys! Looks like my phone is doing a Chaos!

LetUsPrey · 26/06/2012 21:20

Arf at 'phone doing a Chaos Grin

My sister's going this year. She and her DP were lucky in the ballot Envy for separate days. She did give me first refusal on a ticket to go with her - Court One on the second Tuesday, but the price of the ticket together with the cost of travelling down to Lunnen from Oop North plus the day or two off work meant it wasn't really workable. The second Tuesday is women's quarter-finals and TBH I'm not that fussed about those matches.

Cue: lots of rain delayed matches being made up and some cracking matches being played on Court One that day.

LadyBeagleEyes · 26/06/2012 21:46

Well I like Murray.
I enjoyed his tennis today, he was pretty damn good.
And what's with all this 'he's boring' stuff'?.
I watch tennis players playing tennis.
I don't see Rafa or any of the others skipping round the court smiling at the cameras.
So why does everybody pick on poor old Andy.
