HERE WE GO...WIMBLEDON 2012 !

[MrsVamos]

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

What is up with rafa? he looks very shaky. I thought he was off in his previous match too. Uh oh-injury?

Rafa is making it hard for himself. Tsonga has picked up the pace, though.

C'mon Ward!

VAMOS RAFA

Ward appears to be struggling now...c'mon ward!

I think I am going to have to turn over-getting too nervous on his behalf!

Tsonga through- but Nadal is really not on form today.

bollocks. Ward serving for the match

FISH obviously

Ward did well. Shame.

Now, pull your finger out, Rafa!!

What was that exchange of words between Tsonga and his opponent at the end of the match about???

Note to Rafa- you are no longer allowed to be 'warming up'. Just beat the guy. Got me?

oh, didn't see the Tsong thing- was he cross? He didn't play well in the first set.

TORSO!!

Haha he is so moody when challenged

Oh heck. Vamos rafa!

What's Nads doing? What happened in the first set, was it close?

James Ward made a good effort didn't he? Fish plays Goffin next I think it said up thread. I've decided Goffin is one of my tips for the future. Disclaimer: I know bugger all about tennis but he seems to have "it".

Hurrah for Murray. Was listening to the fourth set in the car on the way home. Did you know that Karlovic is quite a big bloke? Apparently he's quite tall. They only mentioned 165849473940 times including many many "witty" comments about it. Pillocks.

Rafa seems a bit down tonight doesn't he? A bit mopey. If I was there, I'd shout "cheer up love"

Baltacha has just been donutted in the first set by Kvitova.

Virginia Wade is getting her knickers in a knot over the umpire in the Baltacha match. I like Kvitova.

Nadal is really not quite there.

My tv has gone off!!
Stupid bloody sky box

Rogerme- the first set was very close- went to 11-9 or in the tie break

I'm not in the UK, is it really humid there? Nads seems to be slipping a lot.
Rasol is playing with complete abandon, he has nothing to lose. But Nadal is an incredible competitor and I can see him getting his ducks in a row sooner rather than later.

Wow. Thanks Raahfa.

When Rafa is receiving and he's at this end of the court, I just think of MrsVamos and Raahhfa and the other Rafa fans leaning in to the TV that little bit closer as he waits for the serve

AAHH I have to go out in 10 minutes! Would it be very bad form to cancel drinks with friends at such short notice?

VAMOS RAFA!!!

Can someone please pm me with result for when I come home drunk? thanks ladies.

L.etusPrey- you are so right.

Rafa seems to be doing a 'Bonking Boris' he is down on the floor more than he is up. it has been humid where i am - South manchester. London looks the same. Oddly the Midlands have had freaky storms, and ice! Bristis weather, fab.

Happy to Goran. Have fun and a drink for me (31wks pregnant here and gagging for a G&T).
