Must be a lot of pressure when you are on home turf, and one of the biggest stages of any sport.

Nick Mullins gives Castle a run for his money in the Most Annoying Commentator stakes. The very sound of his voice irritates me.

Grigor will beat Dogs, but i would like it to be close. I am supporting Dogs though, but really want Grigor to seriously put up a challenge for the title.

it's quite an exciting year. Tennis

Come on Heather!!

I hope this one finishes soon. I'd like a nice, dull, quick win for Roger next. Please.

P.S. Loved that woman in the "Go Roger" drag. We have a saying in the South: Oh. My. Word.

Here comes Shrieky. I heard someone earlier today (poss Mac?) attribute Grigor's success this year to her. I'm beginning to think Mac is losing it :)

I would like a neat win for Roger too. i don't like him being written off because of his age. Especially as he's still streets ahead of the majority.

ltb !

Could be worse, it could have been next weekend.

Come on Heather !

I am hoping I can just watch and enjoy some matches. Dogs and Grigi is no fair.

If anything, i think the Shrieky connection is a bad thing for Grigor. I bet she sulks when she's losing.

I was thinking more in terms of murder than desertion Raahh. We've been married 21 years and just about the only thing I know anything about or am wildly interested in is tennis.

Murder is a plan too. Don't choose anything messy though, you'll have to waste time cleaning up.

Good point Raahh. Unless I did it next door and left it to them to clear up?

Wonder what Mr and Mrs Fed Snr have been saying to Mr and Mrs Middleton? Could be an interesting conversation to earwig on :)

Well done and everything, Heather, but you are delaying the start of another match. You'd just better go on to win, that's all....

getting the neighbours to clean up is a great idea.Grin

Fortunately, the rain will not stop the next match on centre, with the roof and all. Been quite fortunate, weather-wise, this week. The scheduling must be a headache when it rains.

Oh Heather! She will kick herself over that shot.

A sad day for France but at least Tsonga made it. I watched Mondils play near me a few years ago. He is gorgeous and so funny. There were lots of rumours going round about his effect on the local nightlife the week he was there Wink

Petite- I can imagine.Wink He was great at RG, even if his match against Murray was the strangest scoreline ever!

I haven't been to my local tournament since but I think i will this year. All the French players usually play. Gasquet was rather cute in the flesh too.

Muller is local to me I hope he does better than usual against Federer.

Muller's coach is local to me but have never spotted Muller milling around anywhere. Go to your tournament Petite and take some lovely pics for us :)
