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

Raahh and Missstrawberry you're not Maria and Serena by any chance Grin ?????? Lol.

come on girls, calm down and enjoy Dustin! Wine

Raahh · 26/06/2013 20:45

It's a shame Monfils pulled out of Wimbledon, after being so great at RG.

What the hell is happening this year? Gutted Roger's gone. Hmm

ClayDavis · 26/06/2013 20:47

Ah. It's time to admire the skills of Dustin Brown.

MissStrawberry · 26/06/2013 20:48

Cheers!

GameSetAndMatch · 26/06/2013 20:51

okay, sky sports news usually have a wimbledon report each morning every half hour, but havent seen this year?

why are other sports more important in England?

I like the Fanatics, down but not out, theyre there for Tomic and Stosur.

OOh, can I join the Dustin fan club too? nice voice! Tennis

TapselteerieO · 26/06/2013 20:56

I quite like seeing all the new faces - it is exciting stuff!

Raahh · 26/06/2013 20:56

I suppose I should tidy up....

Chubfuddler · 26/06/2013 21:10

Murray must be having a right head fuck tonight. On one hand he's thinking "no rafa, no fed, no Hewitt, no tsonga I could actually really really do this" and on the other hand he must be thinking "there's no shame in losing a grand slam final to roger federer. What if I lose to a qualifier? What if I lose to a complete nobody?"

Chubfuddler · 26/06/2013 21:11

I'm even more glad to see the back of federer than I was rafa. Federer is Sampras Mark II. this is not a compliment.

FreedomOfTheTess · 26/06/2013 21:14

I'm delighted Federer is out.

I cannot stand him.

MrsHelsBels74 · 26/06/2013 21:15

Federer is nothing like Sampras...didn't like him at all.

MyBoysAreFab · 26/06/2013 21:16

I don't like RFed much either, not really for any valid reason though. He is just a bit of a "fop", hate what he wears eg polo shirts with collar up (one of my pet hates) and he looks a right sulk when things don't go his own way.

AnyFucker · 26/06/2013 21:19

Rather unsportsmanlike smash at his opponent's head in the match too. And he didn't win the point. Ha !

ClayDavis · 26/06/2013 21:28

Not sure he was trying to win that point. There was no danger of that ball ever going in!

DeathMetalMum · 26/06/2013 21:31

Oh wow I have had a busy day and come on and find federer is out! I'm not a fan so not dissapointed at all, but surprised. Off to check bbc sport....

AnyFucker · 26/06/2013 21:32

I think you are right, Clay. Did he apologise, do you know, I was slightly distracted at the time.

They cut out for a replay, but I'm sure the commentators said he did. Just a small one though.

BaconAndAvocado · 26/06/2013 21:39

Tennis what a day!!!

The injuries, the shrieking, the upsets, the "Hello Dustin "

Bloody amazing tennis, bloody amazing hair, bloody well keep going Dustin!

This Wimbles is shaping up to be a corker Tennis
