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?)

Not so much my mum but my dad is absolutely anal in terms of cleanliness and tidiness. When they divorced I stayed with him and so inherited some of his tendencies. However, dh and four dc soon knocked that nonsense out of me and house is now, lets just say, lived in :)

Muddled, Im not sulking, I'm in proper full on decline. And you would be too if you really loved him. And, how dare you call him lame and limp wristed. I am offended on his behalf and you are no better than you ought to be. Hmmpphh.

While on the subject of parents in the house....I have recently started new job and my parents are picking up dd once week and bringing her back to our house when I'm not there. Yesterday within less than 5 mins of getting home my dad told me 1) we needed toilet brush in downstairs loo 2) we shouldn't leave key in back door when out . Need I say more Raah you are not alone I'm nearly 47 FFS

Forgot to say - its my wedding anniversary today. Dh appears to have forgotten. However, he may be thinking the same of me as I haven't yet said anything - cos I want to see if he remembers! Tricky one.

Juan- happy anniversary! It's mine on Monday. Only 7 years, though. We don't 'do' anniversaries really. Plus he's at work.

We have promised that one day we will have a child-free night out

purple i feel your pain

Well happy anniversary for Monday Raahh. Your child free night will come! Dd has just sent me a pic of Jennifer Lopez followed by a message saying "Jennifer Lopez, 44yrs". Not sure what she's trying to tell me here!

Who do we think will win in Dogs Bollocks v Birdshit? I think Bird but would like Dog.

Dog breaks in first game.

Bird breaks straight back.

I'm going to donate some money to the ATP so they can buy proper parasols and not make some poor ball boy stand two inches away from a player whilst poking a brolly in their face.

I'm passing a law which makes it illegal, with immediate effect, for commentators to say "over cooking", " business end of the set" and "goldfish mentality". Please feel free to add to the list.

I don't know why they don't have some sort of gazebo over the players- or one of those swinging garden chairs, with a canopy. That would keep the sun off nicely, and rest their legs.

C'mon Dogs!

Rain delay : (. Yes one of those swinging bench things would be good, nice and relaxing. Or a sun lounger even? :)

ooh yes, a sun lounger. Easier to massage them, that way. And a cocktail, none of this barley water nonsense. They need looking after

I thought there must be a problem when the scores stopped refreshing

I have been trying to find a picture of Dogs with his hair down. He's had his hair all braided at one point.

I found this from last year.

No! Dogs appears to be losing the set....

No Raah that's picture is just wrong! He should stick with the ponytail IMHO....BTW folks don't call Berdych 'birdshit'. I think he's cute. Not that exciting to watch though...Bird or Birdman is ok. I'll allow that.

. Is it still raining?

I usually stick with with Berdy. I find him a bit dull.

The picture is very bad!

Noooo! Dogs has lost the set. I need to send good hair vibes.

it's really not going well.

He is a bit dull on court I admit but on twitter he's v crazy and often has a tweet off with @PseudoFed who is also hilarious.....Berdy also v nice looking in the flesh. Much slimmer (see pic I posted earlier in the week)

I guess everyone's off watching this great tennis match tie break time now bet its really exciting . Oh well I've had and a kit kat so there....

Dogs has thrown away a chance here.

C'mon Dogs.

I'm refreshing my scores screen, purple

I have no chocolate

All over I'm following on my iPhone app....missed his chance (Dolgo)

But good for The Bird! . Sorry for all you dog fans

Poor Dogsbollocks.

He's still my one to watch this year.

I won't be awake to 'refresh' my screens for nadal.

Vamos
