thanks Maryz - I'm just like u most of my sentences start with And or But. And I'm definitely not bothered atm but tell you what when my little one gets to the stage of learning grammar I'll be buying one of those "grammar and spelling for dummies book" :)

Tbh if nadal had made it to the final I would've gone, but as it is I'm not fussed.

BT Sport will have all or nearly all of the entire WTA tour this year.
We have got Sky, so I will subscribe on that. Sky also has Eurosport and that has lots of tennis, and I watch it rather than the BBC in order to avoid the toe-curling, cringe-making Inverdale and Castle.

I like Andy a lot. He is a decent guy with a good sense of humour and is not arrogant. But I also like Djokovic a lot, he is the better player in my opinion and I think he will win.

But in the past, Djokovic has had problems in long matches in extreme heat. He has had tiredness problems and I think sometimes breathing and contact lense problems. They say that Andy is very fit, but in the past I have also seen him tire quite a lot in long matches and his concentration often wanders in long matches and he drops a set unnecessarily.

So I think that Djoko will win today.

ClayDavis · 07/07/2013 10:43

I'm mostly OK with apostrophes. I did have to have a think about where to put it when I wrote Pedants' Corner earlier though.

Welcome to the cult, painforlife. No need to apologise for supporting Djok. All are welcome here as long as you don't start slagging off the other players.

Do we get to keep the Tennis Tennis Tennis for a bit, or do you think they will be gone by tomorrow?

Chipstick10 · 07/07/2013 10:45

I will support Novak in nadals absence.

claig · 07/07/2013 10:51

contact lens or lenz, not lense!

TheDoctrineOfAllan · 07/07/2013 11:03

Inverdale said that to Lindsey Davenport, who I believe got some comments on her own appearance back in the day?

Oh FFS.

claig · 07/07/2013 11:06

You are right, TheDoctrine.
Inverdale has shamed the nation with his comments, and poor Lindsey and McEnroe etc have to sit through his inane drivel and must wonder what type of people the BBC employ.

bizzey · 07/07/2013 11:07

Morning all....Just marking my place for later. I am team Murray...as I think all my neighbours have realized now due to slightly loud screaming when he gets points !

Right..3 hours to find a shop that sells fake Pimms..(btw ,what IS fake Pimms ...cheaper version??)

Oh and my grammer is awful....even with the lap tops help Grin

siezethenight · 07/07/2013 11:09

There is another Tennis thread in chat!? Huh. Do they not know we have been going for yonks over here? I am boycotting - staying here with the cult Grin Tennis Tennis Tennis
Bathroom is clean - made the terrible mistake of having white flooring in there, its a swine, messes up in nano-seconds. But its clean - I can pee in relative relief that I will not die from dust particles...
Radio had gobbed on non stop about Murray winning I feel do Sad for him, this huge, huge expectation upon him.

Welcome pain buckle up for the ride Smile

siezethenight · 07/07/2013 11:10

Davenport should have given Inverdale a good clout as soon as the words left his mouth, frankly.

claig · 07/07/2013 11:11

She certainly couldn't have missed it

claig · 07/07/2013 11:12

I mean his big mouth

siezethenight · 07/07/2013 11:13

McEnroe said yesterday that Bertoli was not a great athlete... Yeah, he did, I was slightly [shocked] If she is not a great athlete then who is? Did you see her yesterday morning? Somebody chucking the balls at her to whack over and over again on a court? Flippin' eck, I was hugely impressed.

GlaikitFizzog · 07/07/2013 11:13

Ooh good idea, every time he says something dumb a forehand volley to the chops will sort it!

SconeInSixtySeconds · 07/07/2013 11:13

Will be back at 1.55pm in full on tennis mode. I would like Andy to win so it means that whole "no British winner since 1936" schtick would disappear.

how are you doing?

Team Murray
I doubt my Tennis mad DM and DSIS have swapped from the anyone, but Murray camp.

But, with the Royal Wedding, Jubillee, and torch relay, causing our local market towns to go flag mad, I have rather patriotic DDs.

Personally I'd love a British winner because the press can then just shut up and leave tennis to us.

Also it might encorage school tennis which can't be bad.

siezethenight · 07/07/2013 11:17

All over to Magi's for a game of draughts (sp) on her bathroom floor before tennis starts!
I am joining you magi with the naff spelling!

NoComet · 07/07/2013 11:18

Now washing, else no one will have any uniform.

Wish they were on holiday, it will get cold the day they break up.

Panonabike · 07/07/2013 11:21
