No way, Drama - I can cope with more than one tennis player at once!

If I go to Eastbourne tennis on Wednesday (very weather dependent) I will see Deliciano. He won't have the strength left for you after that!!

Pesky - Custom & immigration authorities won't bother me - they welcome Lear jets!

Not Lear jets with you in them they don't.

Oh yes, they do!!

Listen to your elders & better, Pesky.

Sadly, I don't think I'll be going to the tennis at Eastbourne tomorrow.

Forecast is for rain & the only two matches I am at all interested in* are on Centre Court where the ticket price is silly money (£40 minimum).

Looking at the forecast I'd be lucky to see one of them - 2 shrieky matches up first.

*Dogsbollocks v Querry & Deliciano v I can't remember.

Uhhhh, okay, what's with the flags by your names?? Honestly, I go to work, sleep, get up and everybody has flags?

threebats · 18/06/2014 13:19

I can't get a flag Angry and I got shoved off mumsnet and had to have a password reset to get back on Sad I give up - I demand a Tennis by my name to compensate....

hugoagogo · 18/06/2014 16:38

Did you see that? Watson just had a wonderful win against pennetta. Grin

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 18/06/2014 17:08

Gutted I missed Watson's win. Go Heather!

Threebats go to 'My profile' under 'my mumsnet'. There should be a dropdown box. If it says 'none' then it's logged you out and you might need to log back in again.

So, as usual, deviating from the actual rankings- plus there are a couple of people missing- Potato in particular. Ferrer is doubtful for next week, which is quite sad. He had a good run last year, and his match against Potato was a tense one, with the injury he got.

Fingers crossed fro a good draw for Nadal- I hope he at least gets through a couple of rounds!. Vamos Grin

Getting excited- just hope there won't be too many Football clashes.

raahh you totally rock - thanks for the above Thanks
I can not wait till Monday - literally can not wait - end of work, end of life as I have known it - time for Wimbles - i am going to be a shock of depression when its all over :(

threebats · 18/06/2014 18:42

rafa It worked!! I am on Del Potato's side Grin

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 18/06/2014 18:48

I wrote a long reply to the seedings on the bus, then lost it when I pressed post as I lost reception. It can't have been important as I can't for the life of me remember what it said.

Raahh · 18/06/2014 19:41

Rafa Grin

I do that all the time.

DramaAlpaca · 18/06/2014 20:49

Great win for Heather Tennis Tennis

BaconAndAvocado · 18/06/2014 20:50

Wimbles! Yay!

That's all Smile

Provencalroseparadox · 18/06/2014 21:06

I have court 2 tix for next Thursday. Can't wait!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 18/06/2014 21:33

Since MNHQ are determined to make me look like a tit by fixing the site I can now change my flag effortlessly. So for the moment I'm going to change to Swiss to support Fed.

Part of what I was going to say was that I hope they all manage to get through the first week this time. No wipeout Wednesday this year, please.

Raahh · 18/06/2014 22:16

Definitely no to Wipeout Wednesday unless Murray is involved

Wink

I now have a Spanish flag attached next to my name, and Spain are out of the WC. Fortunately Spain still have quite a large number of participants at Wimbledon.

JuanPotatoTwo · 19/06/2014 10:07

I can't believe Wimbledon is nearly here again. Which court do you have tickets for Provencal? Did you get them through the ballot? My name must be on some sort of exclusion list - I never get Wimbledon tickets. The house will be neglected, as will the rest of the family/world for the next two weeks!

But I can't complain too much about no Wimbledon tickets as going to The Boodles today, very excited. Get to see Nole, Dominic, Ernie, Fabio - and Jack Sock! No Pot though, which is main reason I got tickets way back last June. Hope rain holds off.

Provencalroseparadox · 19/06/2014 10:23

Juan tickets are for Court 2 and yes through the ballot. It's the first time I've ever properly followed through on it so v pleased. Was inspired by a school mum who got Men's Final tickets through it last year

Raahh · 19/06/2014 17:53

Jack Sock!!!!

Hope you've had a good dayTennis juan
