I can't go see anybody this year/next year on account of the fact I will be a struggling student from September so skint. Waaaahhh! But when I am rich, you know, when I have retrained and am earning mega bucks I shall remember you guys on this here thread and ship you all off to meet me for the entire last week at Wimbledon - great seats.... Wine and vodka for you that partake. Beer for me and binoculars, just so we can extra, extra stare at the 'new balls'.....

Raahh · 01/07/2013 17:23

Witt- my gran went to the oldies at the Albert Hall, she loved it.

At least Nadal has already qualified for the Atp tour finals- just hope he gets there!Sad

I may apply to be Ferrer sports masseur Raahh Would you like to be my bag carrier for that occasion?

FarleyD · 01/07/2013 17:25

Raahh, hope she improves as quickly as she got ill.

JaquelineHyde · 01/07/2013 17:25

sieze I'm a struggling student so I sympathise entirely, I'm also on maternity leave until January from studying so don't get any bursaries or grants etc and because I am still classed as a student I am not entitled to get any form of benefits to tide us over Shock Angry

We have become experts at living on air and robbing Peter to pay Paul Grin

Witt · 01/07/2013 17:26

sieze can we all come with you and pretend to be trainee student sports masseurs. Then you can suggest we each need a go on him to practice.

Raahh · 01/07/2013 17:27

seize -it's a date - you massage one leg, i'll do the other not his toe though-yeuch

seize - we will hold you to that!

Witt · 01/07/2013 17:28

First set to Marray/Watson Grin Tennis

siezethenight · 01/07/2013 17:29

Yes Jaque I am having to keep on working while studying as no benefit help for me either and they have swiped my carers allowance off me because of studying from this September its adios carers allowance - (my son has Aspergers...) It completely sucks but its made me all the more determined to absolutely study and do well so I can give the finger to the while shabby system.... The EU meet thing the other day where some millions were put aside to help young people (I am old but young people now) retrain for jobs was a farce - you can;t retrain as you can't get benefit help to live if you retrain....
I shall shut up with the whinge now and say... COME ON MURRAY!

Chubfuddler · 01/07/2013 17:30

I am a little worried my cosmic ordering worked. If so I apologise andy.

siezethenight · 01/07/2013 17:31

Yes - absolutely - you are all my apprentices and you all need hands on experience... Line up - I will take a deli style ticket machine with me...

FarleyD · 01/07/2013 17:31

EL Potato is through! Commentator has just described him as "red hot"! Couldn't agree more.

siezethenight · 01/07/2013 17:33

Yes! For El Potato...
And Raahh You will get two goes at apprentice masseur... Its only fair, you've been with Ferrer since the beginning!

Witt · 01/07/2013 17:35

Ooooh, just checked and Ferrer is only a year younger than me. That makes me feel a lot better. Thought he might be a few years younger and then I'd start feeling a bit awkward about massaging him.

Raahh · 01/07/2013 17:35

aww, Del Potato Grin He's very lovely.

siezethenight · 01/07/2013 17:35

Woop, woop! Yes.... Go Murray!

Witt · 01/07/2013 17:36

Murray did really well to come back in the second set and win it. Showing much better mental strength these days.

Now to turn my attention back to the doubles.

GameSetAndMatch · 01/07/2013 17:37

Hello. time for Tennis tennis club today.

Yesss Potato through and yummy. I love potatoes!! Grin Tennis

well done Lisicki, fab win, Sad laura, fought well.

Dodig, Im sure he'sa nice guy but he looks wierd. dont know why but just does, (yeah, like Im an iol painting-a picasso Grin)!

best commentator ever was Dan Maskell. only spoke when needed and not all the twaddle these guys do.

teejwood · 01/07/2013 17:39

Evening ladies - and ta for the new thread, Raahh.

I need a lie down after that second set. Agh!!
Who was it who said they would trade a Murray win for a Serena loss? I hope you haven't tempted fate

GameSetAndMatch · 01/07/2013 17:40

Can't watch Murray, he makes me nervouse although I like him and Youghzny.

fabbo, Berdych and Tomic about to start on court 1. this was match ive been looking for the most today. but damm. bloody castle commentating, although at least the gorgeuos Peter Flemings there to tone him down. Tennis

teejwood · 01/07/2013 17:40

Lendl is going to rip into him whatever happens here, isn't he?

Chubfuddler · 01/07/2013 17:42

Maybe Lendl just shouts at him for hours. That's their training.

He's most unnerving isn't he? His face is completely impassive.

teejwood · 01/07/2013 17:44

Let us know how Berdych & Tomic get on please, GSM?

Watson & Marray are 1 set up in the doubles, I think. Fingers crossed there.

teejwood · 01/07/2013 17:46

ffs what's with the double faults??
