TENNIS FANS! New thread -With bouncier balls and clean towels...

[Raahh]

New thread for tennis fans, with or without the ability to watch on tv. Or even live and in person

(When should we start pestering for our back?)

I haven't had a drink for 8 weeks. I really, really want one now.

In keeping with the fruit theme I think 'bageled' should be replaced by 'pineapple-ringed'.

Drunk maybe just bad timing I'm sure but I swear each time they cut to him he is smiling.
Whatever the problem is it's all rafa, Murray is playing ok but he's not amazing.
5-0
Vamos limon!

If Rafa losing embarrassingly to a bloke who can barely stand on clay usually, is Uncle T's plan- then it's working.

He has a 15-5 hth lead over Murray- he needs to remember that and get a FUCKING GRIP OF HIS GAME.

vamoslimon

If that's the plan Juan then whatever it is it's working.

Hang on he's won a game...

Oh I'm sorry, I know we're a genteel lot on here and respect each other's opinions (cept muddled's) but please forgive me - I really don't like Andy (as a player). And he's cheating - he's wearing a tennis ball coloured top so Rafa can't see the ball properly :)

Hurrah!

no

I've just put the match on - Murray's taken the first set on clay against Rafa 6-1. Even more .

Rafa is vraiement playing comme un limon again today. Pourquoi??

6-1
Aargh!

Oh. Well at least it wasn't a pineapple-ring. What can we replace breadstick with? Cucumber? Banana? Can't think of a straight fruit (what a contradiction in terms that sounds :))

Je suis very cross.

Id rather he'd lost to a nobody. The British press will treat this like a flipping golden slam

Drama parce qu'il y a un oncle qui est un villain grand. :)

Well we'll boycott the press Raahh. And the game's not over yet - Rafa is simply lulling Andy into a false sense of security. Come on, don't be a wet lettuce in keeping with the fruit/veg/salad theme :)

Vamos Rafa- tu sont le Roi , um , of the court de clay (battue?).

Play like it!

Oh dear, just got a time violation warning.

oh damn- he doesn't like those

Can't the ball boy trip Murray up on the way past?

Won first game and he's getting really fired up now.

Vamos Limon!

Maybe Uncle Toni wants to be Murray's new coach??

If you remember Raahh one of my stratagems to launch myself at help Pot was to impersonate a ballboy. Perhaps I could have a practice run in one of Andy's matches and accidentally put sleeping tablets in his water?

Ok he has the first game, vamos, this is Murray you can still win this!

Have you escaped Juan?
Youngest is finally asleep (on me but still ) the other three not a hope. My 17 month old simply does not have a off switch.

Ooh spooky - that very thought (bout Toni wanting to coach Andy) just occurred to me during that first game. Maybe we're on to something ...

Sounds a plan, I'll bail you out when you get arrested

It would explain the smiling...

No I'm still trapped Mama but in all honesty I'm enjoying myself :). Who needs a social life when they can witter to their hearts content with like minded souls (like minded as in tennis fans, not like minded as in witterers!) on here?! You'll have to keep your shouting down if you have a sleeping bunny on you - just click your teeth and tut perhaps? Ignore the others, sure they'll be fine :)
