Here we are wonderful Wednesday
ORDER OF PLAY

Of course I'm rooting for Ferrer- Vamos! But would love Del Potato to dowell too,so torn.
Kubot/Janowicz, bit difficult to call really.
Would love Berdych to triumph over Djoko- (then Ferrer can whup him in the semi'sGrin)
Am going for Verdasco- obs, as he's Spanish, and it would be wrong not tooGrin - I'm sure Murray is not without support!Grin

here's to a limited rain disruption!

He'll be second on Fri I'd think, maybe 4 or 5pm?

siezethenight · 03/07/2013 19:42

cats I have absolutely no idea at all but each time I hear him or see him? Knees do a wobble... Him and McEnroe. I smile all stupid like as well. I do not know why!?

ClayDavis · 03/07/2013 19:43

Jaq, will start at 1pm on Friday. Don't know which semi-final will be first.

And no to Boris in the cupboard.

Raahh · 03/07/2013 19:43

Wow, I go out, and it all kicks offHmm

Anyway- I'm not a Murray fan, but that was a hell of a come back before a home crowd- no easy task. And he could easily have lost it in the 4th. Sad to lose my final Spanish player to lust after, but Del Potato speaks Spanish, of the Argentine variety, so he will do. With his 6+ calpol and his magic knee.

Can't take from Verdasco he played a very good match, and kept his cool throughout.

Heard the post match interview, and really, Murray was just Murray. And if someone stuck a mic in my face after all that, I might not sound that chatty. Plus, he looked knackered from set 3 onwardsGrin

Want Lipsticky to triumph tomorrow. Looking forward to the Del Potato match on Friday. And Janowicz is not to be dismissed as an easy draw- his serve is ridiculous, so it's good Murray got some practice in with Verdasco's today.

I think second Friday as well, for the home crowd - literally, those at home - to watch as its the semi's.

I have a beer now so shall soon calm down and start breathing calmly again Grin

siezethenight · 03/07/2013 19:45

Good. Then Boris is all mine Smile Grin Tennis
Lipsticky tomorrow for me as well... Not decided about the other's yet though.

ClayDavis · 03/07/2013 19:46

Managed to sort flexitime for Friday pm so should be home by 2.30ish. Second seems the likely option. I'm sure they'd want it as late as possible.

HappyAsEyeAm · 03/07/2013 19:50

Lipsticky for me tomorrow, too. Lipsticky all the way, I hope.

JaquelineHyde · 03/07/2013 19:53

I'm going for Lipsticky and Bartoli tomorrow.

I like Bartoli because of her comments about how she is not tall enough, blonde enough, or slim enough to get a clothing deal Grin Grin My kind of girl.

Raahh · 03/07/2013 19:54

I'm not keen on either Bartoli or Pipkins, inthe other semi. Bartoli has a strange game, and always seems so cross. Flipkens, don't know, maybe she has the edge, although I would have preferred Kvitova (hope she's ok, she looked terrible after match yesterday).

Did she say that jac? But she's very pretty. Flipping daft world we live in.

hugoagogo · 03/07/2013 19:56

I love lipsticki, I thought she was my last hope there for a bit.

Raahh · 03/07/2013 19:56

sieze she is verypretty- but she's always scowling- even when she wins!

Those girls on Henman Hill in the pink t shirts annoyed me during the match because one of them wouldn't stand up so their slogan didn't work.

Am I the only one who noticed it?

MirandaWest · 03/07/2013 19:57

DD watched some tennis at school today :) She said it was because they've been doing tennis in PE (she's in year 2) but we think maybe her teacher wanted to watch some Wimbledon :)

Raahh · 03/07/2013 19:57

aww, Berdych has a lovely smile.

Oh Dear God - Boris and John both together... I just died and went to heaven.

CatsAndTheirPizza · 03/07/2013 20:03

Sieze 'I have absolutely no idea at all but each time I hear him or see him? Knees do a wobble... ' you really ought to see someone about that Grin not normal

siezethenight · 03/07/2013 20:04

Grin cats

ClayDavis · 03/07/2013 20:08

I think all that running about doing prom stuff has made you ill, seize. Grin

FarleyD · 03/07/2013 20:10

I had to go out too for the fifth set, now I'm cooking (which I bloody hate).

Did your dd look lovely seize? What was her prom dress like? My dd had a beautiful dress for hers a couple of weeks ago, bit different from the strapless numbers her friends all had (not that there's anything wrong with strapless, it's just that there were a lot of them around).

I really didn't think tonight I would have El Potato to look forward to on Friday, so bonus for me. And Andy too. So good day tennis-wise in the Farley household.

Night all.

siezethenight · 03/07/2013 20:11

Nope, clay my fixation with both these men is long lived. It just gets worse by the year. If we all go to middle Saturday to get pissed watch from Henman's Hill next year, if you loose me at all? I will be in a cupboard with Boris or John.

Raahh · 03/07/2013 20:11

Right- I'm going to catch up with 'Luther' mmmmm Idris fickle, since I wasn't really concentrating on it last night.

So- see y'all tomorrow.

Go Lipsticki!
