Poor heather- but at least it wasn't a total white washSad

Poor Heather Sad

Seeing the Chelsea Pensioners just then reminded me of something I heard on the radio on the way home. Not sure who was doing the main commentary but he had Mark Woodforde (I think) and Jeff Tarango with him. Main commentary man commented that there were some of Roger's hardcore fans in the corner of the crowd on Centre Court as they were all dressed in red and white.

Jeff said "Those guys down there?"

Commentary man said "Er, no. Those are the Chelsea Pensioners".

I'm not entirely sure if Jeff was serious or not ....

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 29/06/2012 17:34

I heard one of them make a quip anout the fed fans in red and white- 'off duty Santa's' he called themGrin

Jeff Tarango was definitely a bad tempered player, if ever there was one!

Why is Roger Federerererer playing Chris Martin?

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 29/06/2012 17:39

[pmsl]@Chris Martin

LetUsPrey · 29/06/2012 17:44

You know when they show new balls to the other player , d'you think Chris Martin Benneteau will shout "And this ball's yellow-oh"

I'll get my coat.

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 29/06/2012 17:48

Zvonereva retired from her match. Plagued with injury she is. Good result for Clijsters, though.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 29/06/2012 17:55

Who IS that guy who sits at the back of the players' box? He's there every single match. Oldish, beardy, hat ...

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 29/06/2012 18:03

C'mon Benneteau- you can create an upset.

LetUsPrey · 29/06/2012 18:07

I think he's one of the Wimbledon Stewards, possibly Chief Steward. They did a little feature on them on one of this week's Today at Wimbledon programmes.

Raahhfa - let's hope he doesn't decide to use sex as a weapon Grin

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 29/06/2012 18:08

eww. At least not on courtGrin

noddyholder · 29/06/2012 18:21

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 29/06/2012 18:22

ooh Benneteau!

LetUsPrey · 29/06/2012 18:24

It'd put Rosol's spitting on the balls into perspective.

I think I just grossed myself out .. eeuuuuuuuwwwwww

Just checked my FB and I see that today is one of the days my little sister is at Wimbers. She's got Court One tickets today as she's seen the Querry, Shriekipova, Clijsters and now she's watching the Gasquet match. Envy

LetUsPrey · 29/06/2012 18:25

Sorry but my attention was away from the tennis on the TV for a little bit. At what point did Benneteau actually win the first set? What's going on? I'm confused.

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 29/06/2012 18:26

veryEnvy of your sister, LetUsPreyGrin
Mirka is chewing gum. It's not very lady-likeGrin

LetUsPrey · 29/06/2012 18:29

Federerererer's forehand is a thing of beauty

LetUsPrey · 29/06/2012 18:34

Yessss there's the break!

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 29/06/2012 18:41

breaks back- come on Benneteau!

CremeEggThief · 29/06/2012 18:49

LadyC, snap! I was wondering that the other night, and it reminded me I've wondered it every year for a few years! :)

Allez Roger!

LetUsPrey · 29/06/2012 18:51

She says Shriekipova's shrieking didn't annoy that much. She watched Nadal at Queen's Club last year too in the doubles Envy

Come on Federererer

NoComet · 29/06/2012 18:56

Oh come on Federer, we don't want a replete of last nights nonsense!

sayanythingrogerjustrogerme · 29/06/2012 19:27

Ohdearohdearohdearohdear. Roger, I rush back from work and neglect my child and this is what greets me??

RaahhfaNadalsmyToyboy · 29/06/2012 19:31

Oh - this is funGrin
