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...

Ewww, about Melzer's stomach upset .Give him some imodium.

I'm permanently hormonal. I cry at anything anyway !

Hopefully Jo only has 1 game to play.

Did Melzer moan ? Wuss. I couldn't believe it last night when it stopped.

Poor Jo, he's a nearly man too, isn't he ?

Do like watching him though.

Have you noticed the bbc seem to have farmed out John Lloyd and Andrew Castle a bit ? Not got them ruining main matches with their inanities. Thank goodness !

Hope that continues into week 2.

And I still want to know WHO thought Tracy Austin has a nice listening voice ?

SHE DOESN'T !

There was a good hour of light left, had it not rained. Melzer was just constantly moaning it was dark. Really, he was just too ill to continue. He was lucky it rained, but he probably won't salvage the match. Obviously the crowd were all behind Jo-Willy.

Hewitt- sort your life out!

Yay ! Jo wins !

Melzer might as well have just conceded.

In fact, they should start that.

Can you imagine ?!

Jo is a nearly man. He's slipped down the rankings quite a bit.

Well, that was quick.

Took them longer to warm up, really.

What's happening with Hewitt ? Is he losing (again) now ?

Apparently melzer had the trots, poor bugger.

but he was giving dd (12) a run for her money in the whinging stakes.

He has such a lovely smile, Jo. i may have said that before.

Has he not heard of Always or Tena ?

Silly sod.

And, if it was that dark, who would have noticed ?

I'm wicked, me.

He's such a bear of a man.

Then he talks like David Beckham.

Love him !

I like Hewitt, he's like an angry little dog on court. But what has he done to his hair.

Nishikori - I can't warm to him. Don't know why.
Janowicz- so much was said about him last year, he's been a bit a quiet this year.

I bet tsonga gives the best cuddles, I'd like to see him in a nice snuggly jumper.

why are we talking football? And why is anyone shocked? They didn't expect to win anything, it's the first year they've been quite realistic about their chances, really. (i.e they are a bit shit).

Jo-Willy- but no Willy

Bog off Castle!
We don't care.

Well, I don't .

Can we get back to the tennis?

Can I join? Have been lurking since the start of the thread but I think now is a good time to declare myself as the gorgeous Tsonga (maybe I'll start calling him Jo-Willy - I like it Raahh!) has gone through

Fingers crossed he wins a few more as he is by far the most watchable player in my view! Although I am quite happy with general ogling

mmmmmmmm Stefan.

Bloody hell

Feck off Steve Maclaren. What does he know anyway - wasn't he sacked as manager ? Prat.

I'm not shocked about the footy. Knew we would be useless. Had some great told-you-so moments with teenage DS ! Poor sod, me and his Dad told him to get used to watching England play badly and lose !

Stan is through.

Next up the Daddy ! Go Fed !

Ooh thanks for that cross-posted link! Not going to get much work done today, am I?

DuPain- I hope Jo does better this year. He is lovely to watch. Apart from the silly dance he does. He's too tall for silly dances.

Hello, DuPain

The more the merrier !

I might end up calling you breadwinecheese though !

We like Jo-Willy. He's a good guy.

ANY OTHER LURKERS ?

COME OUT AND PLAY !

We don't bite. Honest.
