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. Wine (pimms) & Grin

Cilic=knee injury

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 15:19

Oh right. Poor Cilic. Well, poor all of them really, must be so disappointing (not to mention painful).

IreneR · 26/06/2013 15:24

How many challenges are players allowed during a match?

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 15:25

Three per set I think, and an extra one in tie break.

IreneR · 26/06/2013 15:27

Thanks, FarleyD.

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 15:29

Welcome Smile. This match isn't very inspiring so far.

Raahh · 26/06/2013 15:41

Well- had to go on school run.

Listened to an interview with Nadal's uncle Tony. I like Uncle Tony.

The big names are dropping like flies- mainly through injury.
Didn't know Cilic had pulled out tooSad he was so lovely at Queen's- only heard about Darcis and Isner.

The decibel level will drop now Azarenka is out- but that's quite an upset. Never liked Ivanovic, don't know why.

Wozniacki is one of those players, who when she is good,is very good, and otherwise is rubbish. It's a real shame she's injured.

Raahh · 26/06/2013 15:43

Tsonga/Gulbis on paper sounded quite promising. Do want Tsonga to win it, though.

Still can't believe the Brown match. He was so lovely. With shiny legsGrin Poor Lleyton.

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 15:44

What did Uncle Tony have to say Raah?

I'm very lucky - dh doing pick ups for next two weeks (bar one or two days!).

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 15:45

I'm confused about the shiny legs! Who has them, Dustin, Tsonga or both?Smile

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 15:48

Tsonga's footwork is pretty impressive.

Raahh · 26/06/2013 15:48

He was very circumspect about the loss Farley- really repeated much of what Nadal had had to say. Said they'd definitely come back- he'd rather play at Wimbledon and lose in the first round, than not play here at all. He dismissed all talk of knees- said Nadal had the same knees at RGGrin- but clearly grass is not as forgiving.

coconut49 · 26/06/2013 15:48

How do find out who I could possibly be seeing tomorrow on court 1? Do they only publish order of play on actual day?

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 15:49

Oh God, here we go channel hopping again.

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 15:51

Oh glad Rafa will be back, that's good news. I'm not sure coconut - maybe later tonight after matches have been finished. Very envious, hope you have fab day.

coconut49 · 26/06/2013 15:53

Thanks Farley - I am just impatient!

Raahh · 26/06/2013 15:55

Whilst channel hopping , I see Laura is 4-2 up with Lisa Raymond in the doubles.

IreneR · 26/06/2013 15:57

During RG, I was sanding and painting skirting boards. Wimbledon's here, and it's the same routine for kitchen pantry shelves, a couple of doors, and the trim around some doorways.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: NEXT year, I want to be drinking wine somewhere.

Raahh · 26/06/2013 16:00

I'll join you, Irene Grin

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 16:01

Impressed by your dedication IreneR - I have left dh painting the dining room - can't help but think that's a better way of getting the decorating done!

Are we going to watch Andy, or sticking with Tsonga? I'm going with Andy.

Raahh · 26/06/2013 16:04

I'm sticking with TsongaGrin

FarleyD · 26/06/2013 16:05

Ok, I'll keep you posted if you keep me posted!

Raahh · 26/06/2013 16:06

What is happening in the Tsonga match? He's got the trainer??

Raahh · 26/06/2013 16:06

He's hurt his kneeSad
