sieze I think what we are seeing here is all the frustration at waiting around all day coming out in both of them. The Djok/Potato game they knew what time they were starting and could focus.

GlaikitFizzog · 05/07/2013 21:22

I hope jerzy doesn't fall apart. I don't want him to win, but I don't want him to crumble and hand it to Murray.

FarleyD · 05/07/2013 21:23

Humidity and acclimatisation too Hearts

GlaikitFizzog · 05/07/2013 21:23

No wind when roof shut, static light from the floodlights, even temperature, humidity and the echo. I think those are the main things.

GlaikitFizzog · 05/07/2013 21:25

Tell me, do you pay to be on he hill?

GlaikitFizzog · 05/07/2013 21:25

Hello...........?

ClayDavis · 05/07/2013 21:25

You need a ground pass to get into the ground, but once in you don't need to play anything else to be on the hill.

Come on Murray, don't get too comfy!

Glaikit- you need grounds tickets, iirc. It's not free.

Thanks Farley and Glaikit - and agree about the falling apart. Still, 22 years old and first Polish person ever in Wimbledon semis? No matter what happens he will be able to hold his head high.

Oh Maryz at the risk of repeating myself, i agree- it's ugly.
Thing is, I won't want to watch if it's a Murray/Djoko final- because despite Djoko clearly being far better, the whole thing will be as biased as this. A total contrast to the atmosphere during the Delpo/Djokovic match.

I think that might be due to alcohol, Maryz. Most of them will have been there since about midday.

"No matter what happens he will be able to hold his head high."-and the fact that he's 6ft8Grin

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 05/07/2013 21:28

That line judge looked so... smug! Certainly not impartial!

siezethenight · 05/07/2013 21:28

Ali Yes, you are probably quite right.

I don't think there's many impartial people in there, Hearts

Ok, like a outside court ticket? I queued once for one of those but didn't get in. Went to Camden market instead! I got a sticker though, saying "I queued at Wimbledon 2001" :o

FarleyD · 05/07/2013 21:29

I'm with you both raahh and Mary, very unsportsmanlike. Dan Maskell will be spinning.

cannotfuckingbelievethis · 05/07/2013 21:29

DH is waiting patiently upstairs as I'm supposed to have an appointment with his penis but it's no' happenin' !!!!! Glued to the match

NotAQueef · 05/07/2013 21:29

He has good disguise on his drop shot

It's made of old tennis racquets and discarded ball boys.
