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

'Bristis'??? I've not even had a drink yet!

1 set all. Bollocks.

It's been very hot and humid today, cooling off a bit now

sayanthing-I am planning to stick to g&t tonight after a hideous incident with vino last weekend-so I will def have 1/10 for you!! cheers ladies.

I think he'll "click" soon and all will be okay. Have a good night Goran. I'm waiting for DH to come back and then I'll be on the Archers Pimms.

Blimey! Rafa's a bit out of sorts! Is the roof closed yet? Can't work it out.

Ooooh break for Rosol. And a near-evisceration for the linesman there.
What's Nadal bleating about to the umpire, anyone know?

I didn't think I'd have to break this out so soon in the tournament but VAMOS RAFA!

VAMOS

he's not happy. I'm not sure the roof is closed, and if it isn't (and takes 20 minutes to shut), then they might not bother, and just hold the match over to tomorrow when light fails. Which might help Rafa.

Bad sportsman Come on Rosol!

Rafa seems to think Rosol is putting him off whe nhe is serving, or something. Can't really see what he's doing, myself

Rafa just seems to have one on him. Get a grip Rafa

Perfectly within the rules what Ropsol was doing - and Rafa is not exactly a stickler for the rules, are you Mr I'll-take-a-full-minute-between-serves??

Rafa is behaving out of character. He practically barged Rosel just there! Uncle Toni will not be happy!

I'm getting a bit worried for Rafa if I'm honest. He can't seem to get close to Rosol's serve.

Come on Rafa!

We need you. Sorry Rosel, but 100 in the world is likely to be minced next round and we want good matches.

it really isn't looking good. We need a rain break.

Rafa needs us.

Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa Vamos Rafa

Fuck

oh tits.

Unless Rafa really shakes himself out of this, he is going to lose here. He doesn't seem to be able to get past him.

Rosol 2 sets up. I really wasn't expecting that, but he thoroughly deserved it, he's playing lights out. Let's see if his nerve will hold, though.

Rosol stood aside to let rafa past at changeover and rafa nudged him very bad form crowd have turned i think

He needs 2 sets to win. Which can't possibly happen tonight. He needs to get this first game out of the way.

I am starting to dislike you, Mr Rosol

There's still time Raahhfa, it's been a fairly fast match and if they close the roof there should be at least another couple of hours play I would think, no?

Rosol clearly has Rafa riled.

VAMOS RAFA

(maybe he was up late watching the footy?)

Ooh, Connors was a fighter. i remember one of his matches, where he came back from 2 sets to love down, and 4-1 in the third. It was a brilliant match, though you had to feel sorry for Mikhail Pernfors!
