WIMBLEDON 2014- The sun is shining, the Pimms is chilling- First service!

[Raahh]

Sparkly new thread ready for Monday.

MONDAY ORDER OF PLAY from other thread.

even though Nadal is not in action on the first day, I'm looking forward to this.

And to get us in the mood...

Trixy :(

Forecast is for a beautiful day - temp in low 20s, gentle breeze, no rain.

Still set for showers Friday.

Morning all.

Another lovely day for tennis ! Those who are going, have a great day !

Glad to see we all have our families well trained - step away from the remote.

Picky food is all we have when Wimby is on, specifically chosen to be easy to bung in oven or cook quickly !

Hopefully today we will be entertained with some great matches.

Look forward to the conclusion of the british girl and zvonereva she is quite feisty! Have already been out and done shopping for today so have a complete tennis day planned. Dp has taken next week off work

I hope to munch my carrot in front of some tennis, but I have DD1 home (post GCSEs) wanting her bedroom decorated and a pile of evening 'taxi' driving, shopping to do.

Thanks for the welcome yesterday.

Unfortunately, I was really busy yesterday and didn't get to see much tennis. But I am here now for Andy's match. Where are all of you?!

.

This looks like another tricky match for Murray then.

Tara Moore has a break against Zvonereva- could be a good result for her here.

And Dog is playing, going with serve.

Murray playing really well.

That's fab re Tara, good on her !

C'mon Dog !

I keep forgetting we have

NOOOOOOOOOO!

Ernie is out!

wtf do they have to change channels half way through a match? stupid bbc do they not care that some people may have paused it to go for a quick wee?

eejits

Oh my ! What ?!

Poor Ernie.

hug

Its a frickin' pain, I get you !

Stakhovsky must think it's his birthday.

Crikey, and in 3 sets

I wanted Ernie to do well.

Wonder if we will get any more shockers today ?

Murray is just walloping Rola.

Who decides the draws then ?

Does seem a bit unfair if certain players have such easy rounds.

Dogs is a set down. I will be gutted if he goes out too.

Can't see Rola creating any upsets.

I do know who decides.

Lamenting a bit...

MrsV- I think it is meant to be random, but sometimes you do wonder, especially when defending champions always seems to get qualifiers and no hopers in their first match. Of course, being in the second round relies on Rola having won his first round match. Not sure who he beat last round.

Looking forward to seeing how Dimitrov does though.

I so want Grigor to do well.

I shall sympathise with you Raahh re the draws if a certain someone later on has an easy a match as Andy is having.

Already dreading the hype they will build up for Nadal v Rosol.

Random my arse !

MrsV- Andrew Castle must be wetting himself with excitement. It is going to be built up as the match of the week. I hope Rafa finds a decent serve and thrashes Rosol in an hour.

Otherwise, it will be both painful to watch and listen to.

Very odd if it is random that N and R 'just happened' to be in the same half of the draw and would be likely to face one another in the same round ?

Hmmmm.

Just a bit shit, really !

Oh, don't.

I'm lamenting cos I know it cant be helped, it is random.

Ordinarily I wouldn't worry about it but it is causing me unnecessary stress !

I hope he wallops the little cheat in 3. I'm still wibbly about that 'win'.

i know - it does seem like it's a fix.

Moore lost then, sadly.
