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

I'm just not sure they will close the roof now. Would be good if they did, or maybe Rafa needs to sort his head out, so might need the delay?

They need to put the roof down and let this match continue.
The roof isn't just about the rain, it's about the light too.
I still think hope Rafa will come back from this.
It's too good a match to stop now.

They need to pick a good time to stop.
When it gets to 2 sets all which it will that might be a natural break. Give nadal 20 minutes to re-group.

I do think Nadal will pull through, too much rides on this. His No2 ranking for one..

Come on rafa!

Vamos Rafa!!

That's more like it!

There, you see?
I told you he would come back

Half an hour??? It takes half an hour to close the roof??? WHY? Sorry, I'm a bit incredulous.

That's better. He seems to be in the zone now. Keep it up Rafa

He's got his top off

We never doubted him looks at bitten nails

Can they keep playing whilst it closes? probably not.

Right- keep focussed. Jog on the spot for a bit...

Did he take his top off? never noticed

It's not the roof apparently that takes the time but they have to sort out the temperature and air con otherwise the grass will get wet and be dangerous.

Wasn't properly listening to the BBC man but there's something they must have to do to get the court to the right temperature or something.

Oh well, I suppose I could watch a bit of football. Forza Azzuri!

At least the football looks like it will finish on time.

Thank you both for the roof info.

Rafa even looks messy, his hair is all messed up!

He does love his football.
Anyone else follow him in Facebook, very interesting

Rafa was being very sullen there, when he was told the roof was coming down.
He'll win the last set easily IMO, but I've gone off him a bit.

oh, now i know what \tsonga was talking about- he was apologising for showing off!

Yep letuspray we were both listening to the same guy

Yep follow rafa on fb. He always looks is much happier and relaxed in the photos when he's not playing tennis IMO- at least unless he's lifting a trophy.

Oh dear.

Yikes!

Oh crap. The break might not have been at the best time for Rafa
