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

:o at MrsVamos!

Great start for Fed :).

This isn't much of a match. I'm getting bored. But I can'r move, or switch off, or the dcs or dh might claim the tv, and we can't have that!

I've had to put nemo on to calm ds down after he took a header off the sofa. He is a stunt man in the making I know it! My dad sings the theme from the fall guy at him!

Can anyone give me a run down of the action pleas?

Blimey, the rate these matches are going the main matches will be over by 6pm!

I used to be so so lucky with tickets - every year usually for the first week but have had mens quarters & semi's a couple of times and women's final the year Jana Novotna won ! Then I moved overseas and now I am back the 'random ticket giver - outer' seems to have forgotten my name

Loved Lendl , Jakob Hlasek , Goran Ivanisevic and Javier Frana back in the day
Now its Nadal , J-W Tsonga and Mardy Fish ( I loved him the minute I heard his name ) .....oh and Mr Isner - I like a tall man

Glaikit, it's all a bit dull, tbh. Dickdjok won easily, Venus Williams is out, Federer is thrashing this nice young Spaniard.

Ah, Mardy Fish. We filled up nearly a thread last year on rubbish fish-related puns

Lendl was brilliant, but he had very tight shorts. He's coaching Murray now.

My first tennis crush was Ilie Nastase.

That makes me feel very old indeed.

So not missed mush then!

Ha love it! Maryz can identifybanybtennis player by torso alone!

I know , I did get a little excited when that was announced .Not keen on Murray though , not even with added Lendl !

Vamos Ramos!

I don't like total white washes

Murray with added lendl

His wife was/is stunning. And he has 5 daughters, iirc. Talk about out-numbered i always felt for him at Wimbledon, he got to the final so often ,and never won

Isn't one ( if not 2) of his daughters a golf pro ?

I think 2 of them- he took up golf after quitting tennis through injury.

I sobbed my heart out the year Pat Cash beat him

The Spanish aren't having a good day. But there are dozens of them in the draw nearly. We can only dream of that kind of situation in Britain!

I never liked Pat Cash, really. And the climbing up the crowd business. Show off.

Have found you! Went into threads I'm on and followed the clues in the new thread title

Just got back from work - TV on and child eating tea in front of the tennis - it only happens during Wimbledon fortnight, honest guv...

What've I missed? Caught the end of Rog's match - looking lovely as usual, Mr. Federer.

IamSherlocked- it's not been the most memorable opening day, tbh. A bit of rain migh have livened things up a tad

Nadal tomorrow- that should be better!
