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 really like Goffin like a little DiCaprio

How's he doing, noddy ? He gave Rog a bit of a scare at RG. Sort of like a little "boo !"

He's just beaten Tomic really good match

Ooh, promising then. Good stuff.

I do like to see the young 'uns do well.

Rafa!!! Whoop!

I don't think Murray will win a slam. His best bet would be the US open, but he hasn't managed that. And 25 in tennis terms is old. Although players are maturing later than they once did- i doubt there will be another Becker, or Hewitt who was the youngest number 1. But Borg retired at 25!

I do miss Nadal's sleeveless tops- nice bicepsBellucci looks like Alistair McGowan, doing an impersonation of a tennis player...

Davydenko could put him out he is one of the outsiders that the top players fear

Ok, proper pissed off now...Tsonga v Hewitt evidently deemed less important than action on Courts 2, 14, 17 and 18 (Serena v Strycova, Ward v Andujar, McHale v Konta (!?) and Lopez v Nieminen).

FFS.

Sort it out, Beeb.

I have been out and about with my mum all day, so cannot wait to catch up on the action!

PS Blimey - I think it actually is Alistair McGowan!

I miss the biceps too. He's looking mighty fit, as he did at RG, isn't he ?

No strapping on knees, which must also be a good sign. Hope it's the same this time next week.

I agree, noddy. I think the organisers have been very clever again with the scheduling. Murray due on at tea-time, into the evening. And we'll all watch EE if he's losing.

Henrietta

Are any on the red button ?

WHOOP !

And please, nobody panic about Rafa. He sometimes uses the 1st set to gauge a player, before he unleashes The Power.

Double Gah! It appear my washing machine is kaputted, nothing to do with user error!

Is that score right? Nadal 3-0 down in the first?

Bummer, Flower.

See above.

VAMOS RAFA

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

0-4!

Now it is!!!

It wasn't earlier. Evidently Nieminen won, or got bumped or something.

Damn good job too...

Xposts mrsV! Is he related to John belucci?

I have kicked the washing machine ( and switched it off and back on again) and its making sloshy noises, so looking hopeful!

I don't like this Bellucci bloke. Who does he think he is, ffs?
Spoiling our party.

If Rafa loses this set 6-0 it will be rubbish

phew!

Oooh, good, kicking always works. Or a thump.

Rafa has a game. DON'T PANIC.

He's a slow starter sometimes. Which I like to imagine is an indicator of how he might be dans la chambre.

Long lasting. Ooh la la !

Uncle tony :o

I'm sure Uncle Toni has a wide reportoire of 'looks' that he gives Rafa meaning various things.

I often think when he shouts "Vamos !" what he means is "get a friggin' move on !"
