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?)

Oi oi, saveloy !

Rafa belongs to meeee !

Djok wins. :)

yay!! Murray lost. No. i mean - yay! Djok won.

You know what I mean

Hello MrsV

Ewwww.

Silky hands is something I imagine George Osbourne or Dickhead Cameron having.

I am shuddering and have a cats bum mouth at the very idea. Urgh.

Hello, my gawgus Raahh. Mwah.

on mobile so alopogies for crap writing.

Sod this for a laugh.

Gimme 5 mins and I'll be back.

thinking about Osbourne and Cameron and silky hands. And that is not an envy emoticon.

Yes, Raahh we know what you actually mean .

Nooo, Rafa.

Is a BLEURGH emoticon. We need a sicky one.

I am on faithful ol laptop now, so I can type nonsense properly.

Did I see that Murray lost ? Didn't really expect him to win, did we ?

I'm knew you would be thinking the same.

Now, the way is clear for world domination for Rafa. or at least the Miami title.

Yes lost 7-5, 6-3. He was never going to win that match.

The brilliantly named Jack Sock has won in the doubles though.

The Brilliantly Named Jack Sock- if i ever buy a show dog, or a race horse, that will be his name

Shame.

What a fab name.

Not sure Rafa can do world ? But def. RG again. VAMOS

I luffs him to pieces, you know I do, and would love it if he would prove me wrong. Think RG and Wimby could be very tense this year.

He's my mate, so I'll always back him.

Jack Sack would have been better. [grins]

Shite, shows how long I've been away.

Worth a try. We will get it back. Or there will be trouble.

I really hope Rafa can defend all the stuff he needs to do this this year (which is obviously quite a lot). Another title at RG would be great. Another Wimbledon title would be fantastic- I do think it is in him, he just needs to believe . So long as I don't have to sit through a semi final like the RG semi- which was painful. I did feel sorry for Ferrer in the final though. I love Ferrer. he's like a little terrier after a bone.

And I have my new best friend Dogbollocks, to support too. Which is nice.

BALLS.

Please.

Shall I do a thread in SS ?

You can try, MrsV- people got quite nasty when we got it back for The US open though.

But we have cake, and a bloody pom bear ffs. And we have talked tennis drivel on these threads for ages.

We have earned our balls, dammit.

I think as long as he is well and feels, and believes like you say, my lovely, he can do it. All.

Ferrer never stood a chance. I felt sorry for him too, he's a brilliant player, come good 5 years too late really.

I am watching DB and Stan with interest. And a couple of the younger pups.

I do wonder who will fill Roger and Rafa's gap when the time comes.

We have been spoiled. Even though Rafa looks like a capybara facially, he is a dream to watch playing, same as Roger.

YES - thread in SS asking for balls!

And it is also quite useful, instead of typing 'bollocks' to have the balls back.

People got nasty ? WTF ? Life is too short.

Was there a suitable emoticon for the Winter Plympics ?

I want BALLS

OK. I'll do a thread. Give me a minute.

I am backing Roger to have a good year. Because my husband Stefan is a good influence.

I think we are in for a good year- but possibly the last where the well know 'big four' will dominate.

No-one bothered asking for an Olympics emoticon. Footy fans, golf fans and others said it wasn't fair. that we had a tennis one. Not that they had ever asked for a ball. We asked for YEARS . Of course, once Murray lost it in the US, it went pfft
