WIMBLEDON 2013- it's Ladies' Singles Semi Final day!

[Raahh]

THURSDAY ORDER OF PLAY

Well, it's flying by, this tournament.

Am very miffed that Lipsticki is on second,as I'll probably miss all of it- due to having school meetings and Rainbows between 2.30 and 5.30. .I may catch bits but it's not looking good. And as it's on Centre, even a rain delay won't help.

Not sure who I want to win the first match - but Lipsticki for the tournament, I say- so Go! Lipsticki!

Yeah, he hasn't lost his level of competitiveness, has he!

I watched Andy Murray in the US Open last year on my laptop. A MNer on a thread that night PMed me a link to it. I have no doubt that it was dodgy. Twas v special. All ended at 4am, and I couldnt sleep afterwards!

cant STAND Mac on court, never have, never will.

However in rl and as a commentator, he's Brilliant.

apart from his saying 'Del POAWCHO' and DJOWkovic.

cant Amercans say a phonetic 'o'? Leif Shiras is the same.

quite endearing at times, quite annoyingat other times.

(btw I love the American accent)

thought they werent allowed on court coaching? i remmember Gunther Bosch and Ion Tiriac coaching becker and he got penilised for it?

lisickis dad was doing it, the commentator said, he was signalling her to use more topspin on the bsll?

and lisicki squealed at one point as the ball was going out yet she wasnt tackled either, like serena was at the US open?

Not sure about Lipsticki, because I missed most of it. But I'm sure if it was blatant, it would be picked up on.

Maybe it wasn't what it seemed?

"cant STAND Mac on court, never have, never will.

Me too,.... Made me want to cringe earlier, thought he'd grown out of that crap.

Hope you don't mind me joining this thread. On maternity leave, a nice chance to watch Wimbledon!

I want Bartoli to win, I really like her, she seems slightly mad/eccentric.

welcome, Tricky youve mised nearly 2 weeks of our banter though! .

catch up these last 3 days .

I like Bartoli too this year, had gone off her and her her ants-in-pants thing going, but shes really nice in interviews and doesnt seem as ansty as before.

there was something i didnt like about lisicki today, but cant put my finger on it.

Welcome Tricky

Thank you.

okay tomorrow.....Andy, but hed better play well.

the other match. love both guys so dont mind. just hope Del poawcho holds out and Mac isnt commentating on his match !

I'd love a Delpo/Janowicz final.

have a feeling janowicz might win, hes got nothing to lose, hes ballsy as in cocky- oh dear me is there a right word for it?!?

and the bloody frenzied media once again who always pressure the Brits will not ease up on Andy.

If Andy plays his best he will win I'm sure against Janowicz... IF! It must be so stressful with the weight of the country's fans behind you.

Janowicz seemed really sweet in his interview with Sue Barker earlier, if he wasn't playing Murray tomorrow I would be rooting for him.

AMAZING match between Lisicki and Radwanska. The first time I have enjoyed a female tennis match in years. Really glad Lisicki won and don't care who wins between her and Bartoli - they both seem lovely in interviews and are fantastic to watch play.

PS is it possible to get tickets for Wimbledon without having to queue on the day or pay £100's??! I have wanted to go every year for the last 28 years + and I am yet to manage it!

Kyle Edmund is through to the boys semi final which is also great news. GO TEAM GB!

Morning all. Forecast is not too tricky today.

Warm and getting warmer.

Dd was very puzzled this morning as somebody called 'lipstick girl' had made it into her dream last night and she had no idea who 'lipstick girl' was

Morning everyone!
So excited to see the matches today :) supporting Murray all the way and I'm very torn between Djokovic and Del Potro... Even tho I think I'll be supporting Novak, having in mind several ppl ( if not everyone on this thread) will be on Del Potro's side :) :)

Bimbledorf - there is a public ballot for tickets which opens in December I think, and you hear by about March if you've been successful or not. And, if you/your dc are a member of a tennis club and the LTA I think they get allocated a certain number of tickets.

Morning early birds! I'm excited too. Just off on school run, then gym, then tennis for rest of week-end day.

El Potato all the way for me, and would actually quite like Janowicz to win too.

See you later.

Am v.v. excited.

Del Potro for me!

Bimble if you go to the Wimbledon site there is all the info on how to get tickets. But you can't choose which court or day - it's a total lottery.

Morning .
A million things to do before settling down for Delpo's match .
Farley obviously wants a better chance at getting tickets herself . . . . tut tut ! The ballot closes in December , it opens in a few weeks time.

Good morning- off to school, and assembly (thankfully in the morning, so no interruptions to the tennis).
Lovely weather up here.

Very excited!
