Wimbledon 2013.

[magimedi]

I am so excited!

DH takes over all catering for this fortnight (he does it at other times too) so I can plump my cushions, grab the handchange & get watching.

I'd like to be saying who I was putting my money on to win - but I really can't decide between Rafa, Federer Djokovitch & Murray.

I'd just say that it will be one of them and, sadly, I'd put Andy in last place.

Two weeks of tennis coming up!!

Bring it on. (pimms) &

As we're closing inon this first set, here's a new thread

New thread-Second service

[Raahh]

I'm watching the high-lights programme. It's getting dark behind them...

[Raahh]

They are a bit interchangeable, the women.

[Chubfuddler]

Is there live play going on? I've just realised I am watching a replay of the sharapova match

[Raahh]

Chub- it's definitely not down to exertion,is it?- ok, a noise on a heavy serve, - though most of them have pretty weak serves- but on every point it's just ridiculous. And during the French, Azarenka didn't make a squeak whilst she was practicing one day

[Raahh]

Hacker the dog off cbbc!

I remember when Edd the duck, with Andy Crane, went to Wimbledon. He was on the score board as Edd-berg. Can't remember who he played...

[Chubfuddler]

This is the reason I can't stand most women tennis players. They are working no harder than the men, there's no need for it. Laura Robson doesn't make these absurd sounds. I'm surprised the all England stands for it.

[Raahh]

Chub- they should be gagged.

[Raahh]

I found the 'Murray is too good for me' speech from Serena very unconvincing.
She was really thinking:
-Andy Who?
-I would whup his skinny ass.

[Chubfuddler]

Is there really any need for them to shriek with every shot? God knows what would happen if one of these tennis eatern bloc blondes had a baby.

[GameSetAndMatch]

WTF is going on with her hair? she looks like shes got a cow pat on it !!

[Raahh]

Wimbledon today now referring to yesterday as the 'Twi-light zone'

[Raahh]

I imagine all the players due on the outside courts would have left, when it was apparent all the play on the outside courts was suspended.

[DevlinMaccabee]

Don't see why they couldn't put Robson on centre court tonight?

[Raahh]

Laura first up on centre tomorrow. Bit of an up-grade, I'm sure she was meant to be on 2 today!

[noddyholder]

My sd has just shouted up 'no more tonight'

[GameSetAndMatch]

I was hoping its a ladies match as theyre shorter and should get through in an hour or so.

but there are still lots of other matches to finish.

lets see..

[noddyholder]

Robson?

[Raahh]

made it look easy in the end.

Now then- the roof is on. A couple more hours play potentially. They get the Dimitrov match on here to finish-it a cliff hanger!

[Raahh]

And Reynolds looks much older than 31. Life on the tennis circuit must be rough

[Raahh]

Oh, dear.But good effort there, Reynolds.

There will be no Ferrer tonight

[Raahh]

All the players have stunning wives and girlfriends.
This is why I am married to a Dairy production planner

[GameSetAndMatch]

agree Raah was just thinking that, very 'old school'. reminds me of a Roger Taylor/Bill Tilden type. looks older than 31 though.

[Raahh]

Well, I'm not a Djoko fan, but he is needed in the draw. Having said that, Reynolds is playing very well, and is making Nole work for it. He looks looks a bit ''Mad Men'' -esque

[ladyr]

Rafa and Federer out so Murray def in with a chance - love Wimbledon, sadly no luck with tickets this year...
