The All New TENNIS Thread. For those with Sky and those without.

[IAmNotLouise]

Accidentally filled up the last thread without realising.

Have the day off today so can sit and watch the tennis scores update.

We still have too.

and welcome to the thread Bacon- we manage to waffle along- even when there isn't any tennis on!

it's quite nice, we all have our favourites, but respect that other people like other players even when they are wrong

we want our ball back but MNHQ are meanies.

[grn]

My lovely neighbour is totally tennis obsessed & we have long chats about it & she even saves me articles if I'm away (& vice versa). She takes the whole week of Eastbourne tennis as holiday every year & has a season ticket to it.

The people on this thread are nearly all nice - except for that pesky Juan who just doesn't realise that El Potato is mine, always has been & ever will be.

I am older, wiser, fitter, better & anything else you can think of than PeskyJuan (I've renamed her) so she can just go & ..................

play nicely

The thing i am not liking about Eurosport, is Rusedski. He talks rubbish.

I don't like the way Rusedski's face moves - I know it sounds odd but I do not. Fun is over for me today - have assignments to do for the rest of the afternoon - boo - hiss...
Hi Bacon
ing at Jaun and Magi....

It's no ing matter!

I have just seen that BBC are showing the womens' finals on Saturday morning so assume they will show the mens' on Sunday?

We are supposed to be going out for the day on Sunday - I think the weather forecast looks far too bad & risky for that. Must let DH know!

You seem like a lovely, welcoming bunch! Nice to be here.

God, raah Stefan v Lendl, those were the days......B and H tennis tournament at Wembley Arena.....ogling Stefan's underpants through his shorts.....is/was that weird? I was 15 at the time!

When is Fed/Murray match on?

BBC2 - Sunday at 8.15am - TENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DH - I am SO not going anywhere on Sunday!!

Someone needs to start a new thread soon

Wonder if we'll get the ball back if Murray reaches the finals?

Bacon- ogling was mandatory. I have stalked him ever since he appeared as a junior. It's scary to think he is 48 and i am not that far behind

Welcome bacon
I really wanted tsonga to win
I have completely indoctrinated my 6 year old into the world of tennis, I've been taking him to the ATP in London since he was 2 and he knows more about tennis than I do-no one else talks to me about it though. (He is home ed incase you're wondering why he was watching tennis today!)
Thought Murray looked good apart from his usual grumbling and tantrumming,

please can we have our ball back

We must be roughly the same age raah (32ish?)

How is the Stefmeister looking these days? Not arf bad I bet.....

DH is also tennis mad, most of the DCs play, I dip in and out of playing. DH did his back in so is now converted to Ball and Stick (golf) as is DS1.

Hi Bacon, welcome.

I've always been known for my sportsmanship and fair minded-ness, so I am prepared to accept that there is some truth in what poor misled magi < new name for her> says. This bit in particular:

I am older than PeskyJuan.

You heard it from the horse's mouth. .

Bacon -I was 42 last month. I feel old

I wanted Tsonga to win too. Oh well.

yesss! the shriekers ,shes out! noticed how she got even louder when she was LOSING match, trying to put off her opponent. cannot stand her.

threebats unforch (for you) cousin Boris Clone plays for Men United!!!!!!

raah you can't feel as old as I do, I'm 44, aghhhh!

Rusedski, yes he can be bloody annoying but soooo much better than Dim Henman. Best Tennis Commentator???? Mac, of course although we'll have to wait until Wimbles for him?

Totally second you boris re Shriekapova, tactical squealing methinks

Hi juan and mama

Welcome Bacon. Good to have someone else on the thread to referee Juan and magi's fighting over El Potato.

I think I've let the side down on the Aussie Open front. I'm struggling to stay caught up. Must do better for the second week.

Bacon we are a cosy bunch here!

Mac, the best commentator? really? Djowkovic, Del Powcho?

I like Frew Mcmillan on eurossport, Sam Smith, Boris is funny, always stating the obvious (in an Arnie voice) ''he has just served. that was a lob'. (good for radio though!)

and we do not like Andrew Castle here!
and Dim boring jack Dee voiced Henman.

to referee Juan and magi's fighting over El Potato.

We do not need refereeing - I am sorry to say that PeskyJuan is not quite all there & suffers from delusions - poor girl, she has my sympathy, & I have DP!!

On a more serious note, I will be v interested to see the Federer/Murray match. Can Fed come win this one? Can Murray go all the way?

Now MY Del P is out I am nailing my colours to the mast & will say that I would like to see Murray win this.

"Go Andy"

Good God! Go Andy with huge haggis-shaped knobs on!

Over the last year he has really grown on me and seems, allegedly, to be quite a nice guy complete with personality

Thought it was funny at the end of the Murray/Robert match today (yesterday? I can never work out the time difference) when he gave his broken racket to one of his adoring fans. That's one cool souvenir!

Why don't you like Andrew Castle?

He seems very pleasant to me.........

Shhhh.... You have to say you don't like Andrew Castle quietly.... One of the mods is a fan and she taught me a lesson educated me on his charms when Wimbledon was on... I don't want to get into no more trouble guv... I had to say I liked him cause of that. Please - whisper your dislike - else we will never, ever get the balls back

Will you please stop putting boris like that? Can we call her cupboard instead because my heart goes all a-flutter when I see boris all bolded up, as if something has happened with him and I et excited to read what it is. The anticlimax when we are really just addressing cupboard is crushing.

I have just poured out a vodka and coke before bed - had a s**te day and tomorrow is looking to be worse. I shan't bore you all with it - just roll on Wednesday - day off again and Federe is playing Murray, right? Please say that is right so I can have something to look forward to..?

Not that you are an anticlimax cupboard Its just Boris is my one true love (apart from Meatloaf and Jack Bauer and Kevin Bacon... I could go on). Ah sweet Boris, Boris of the bonk me in a cupboard variety - one's heart swoons...
Best lay off the vodka I think.

Sorry to get your hopes up three

I'll keep quiet about AC!

So the next Murray match is Wednesday morning? Bugger, I've got the dentist

We're going to have to chain you down at the MN middle Saturday meet up aren't we?
