WIMBLEDON 2013- Week 2- NEW BALLS!

[Raahh]

New thread, as no doubt we will soon fill up the other.

Why did it never occur to me when I was young to get a job like Sue's? And why aren't any of my four dc potential tennis champions who I can follow around the world and support whole heartedly from the players' relative's box?

Djok has a particularly eighties looking shell suit top thingy on.

Oh poor lad, he's not so bad (even with his loo brush hair and close together eyes). His english is very good.

Farley I want to be Judy Murray when I grow up - well not exactly but I want a top 5 tennis player for a sun who I can watch.
DS is currently in training in my dreams

He is lovely

I know Queef, dd doesn't do sport, but all three of my ds's are very sporty - just not tennis! If Andy offers you tickets, can I be your new best friend? And how do I tweet?!

Farley- it would be great to have Sue's job

When I was a teenager i wanted to be Gabreilla Sabatini (and marry Stefan Edberg).

Scrambled eggs? Dh wants me to make him some scrambled eggs? Can't he see I'm watching tennis? I have surely done my wifely duty by trailing around all the tiles shops within a fifty square mile radius.

Mine can hit a ball with a racquet but as he's only 2.5 I'll give him time. because I watch so much tennis I feel like I should be able to play well, and get really disappointed --once every 3 years- when I try and play.

Farley do you want to know how to tweet in general or just what hashtag etc to use to send a question?

I'm already fretting about tomorrow- Wednesday evening the older 2 have karate which means ferrying them about. And school. It all adds upto possibly missing great chunks of the Ferrer/Del Potato match. I don't know whenit will be on- hopefully early-ish- and on centre, please!!

I think ferret match will be a corker!

I just hope they are both injury free- Del Potato's knee was heavily bandaged yesterday.

oh, Li Na lost the first set.

That will be a goodun. Fingers crossed that Murray/Verdasco is 3rd on so I have chance of seeing it.
Verdasco is pretty hot I think (if memory servces me right)

I thought the school play was on tomorrow and Thursday and was wondering how bad a mother it would make me if I didn't attend - fortunately, it's on next weeK! I don't think El Potato will make it through tomorrow, much as I really really want him to. Think Ferrer's sticking power is too great.

Queef - I guess I'd like to know how to find El Potato on Twitter and then ask a question?

Right, scrambled eggs are made, dishwasher is emptied, washing is out and more in - and I am plonked on settee for the duration!

What was the name of that player who was around a few years ago whose father used to make her run backwards on a treadmill as part of her training? Young, and possibly french? God, my memory these days is shocking.

And what happened to Mauresmo?

Oh, actually think Bartolo may be the player I'm thinking of

Mary Pierce?

Her father was nuts. Got in trouble alot, and probably mentioned by commentators as much as Tomic's dad

Bartoli even.

Oh no Raahh, think it may have been Mary. Confused now.

Bartoli scares me a bit.

He can't possibly have been mentioned as much as Tomic's Dad, unless they mentioned him every other word!

I thought the black strapping thing on her leg was a belt hanging down!

Sloane is very pretty.

Don't know what happened to Muaresmo. There seemed to be a period where players did well quickly, then vanished. Or went off the rails after doing too much too young- like Capriati and Hingis.

Was always a shame Seles' career was cut short- I think she could have been one of the best players ever.

Oh gosh, I'd forgotten how squeaky Seles was!
