You read my drivel ? Grin

I'd watch the 8 year old, if they are one if yours. You might find slugs and spiders in your bed later.

8 yo trying to kill you can be creative.Wink

Evening, Juan.

Ooh.

Oh.

Just as I think we might get a match, it doesn't happen.

Do you think if we start cheering for Jo now, it might help ?

It is absolutely lashing it down here. Showing no sign of stopping.

MrsDavidBowie that sounds amazing. I love the atmosphere there.

Raahh · 30/06/2014 17:56

It id beautiful here. Which is no help at all to those down south...Grin

Aww, Cilic is through (after I prematurely dumped him from the tournament).

Grin

MrsV- AC is clearly employing underhand tactics. A compliment from him is like the kiss of deathGrin

Raahh · 30/06/2014 17:59

I know that winning is winning (and if it was Rafa, I wouldn't be complaining)- but this is the 4th utterly forgettable match Murray has played.

C'mon Kev- give us a match.

MrsVamos · 30/06/2014 18:04

Raahh

NOOOOOOO !

BUT. When closing roof they cut to Tim, Mac and Petch who all agreed that Rafa is getting better/ stronger each match blah blah blah.

I SO hope its not wishful thinking.

Its terrifying and exciting, all at once.

I think I invest far too much in tennis.

I always forget the further people get, the more agonising it is, wanting them to do well.

OP posts:
Raahh · 30/06/2014 18:13

I totally believe that Rafa can do it. But when the commentary team start getting behind him, after practically willing him to fail each match so far, I'm scepticalGrin

I theory, Murray plays Dimitrov next.

Will be interesting to see how they commentate on that- since they will want Murray to win, but they all fancy GrigorGrin

Itsfab · 30/06/2014 18:19

No, not one of mine! A class colleague of his. I hesitate to say friend..

And of course I read everything, very entertaining and educating.

GrouchyKiwi · 30/06/2014 18:20

I wish there were other matches to watch. Stupid rain.

Who is this Mark Petchy (Patchy?) chap?

Raahh · 30/06/2014 18:23

Mark Petchy used to be a British tennis player. He was fairly rubbish. He coached Murray until Murray got to a point that was further than he had been. Now, he is an annoying commentatorGrin

GrouchyKiwi · 30/06/2014 18:29

So he didn't coach Murray for that long, then?

Did Mac just say "tremederful"?

Raahh · 30/06/2014 18:30

C'mon Anderson! Do a Stepanek- make Murray sweat a bit.

Although they are going to end up very behind tomorrow.
I've also promised to take the dds out for tea tomorrow, because ds is away. It will be a short teaGrin

Raahh · 30/06/2014 18:31

I'm not sure how long he coached him for, but no- it didn't take long for murray to surpass the ranking he had reachedGrin

'Tremenderful'

honestly!

GrouchyKiwi · 30/06/2014 18:35

I might start using that.

"Your hair looks tremenderful today, dear friend."

"DH drank too much and chundered tremenderfully." (This doesn't happen anymore, I hasten to add.)

Raahh · 30/06/2014 18:36
Grin

It is a very descriptive wordGrin

Raahh · 30/06/2014 18:41

Nastase thinks he is re-doing the cover of Sergeant Pepper.

Raahh · 30/06/2014 18:45

tie break!

C'mon Anderson!

Raahh · 30/06/2014 18:50

Anderson looks quite calm. Murray always looks knackered- but then he always does. Kev isn't going to win this, but I'm glad he is putting up a fight.

Raahh · 30/06/2014 18:56

Poo.

Never mind.

Think Judy was supporting AndersonGrin

Itsfab · 30/06/2014 18:56

Bugger, I hadn't realised it was match point. Missed the excitement.

GrouchyKiwi · 30/06/2014 18:57

And there it is. Thought tie-breaker might last a bit longer than that.

Raahh · 30/06/2014 19:00

I think it would have been a closer match, had they left the roof on right the way through.

rhubarbcrumbleplease · 30/06/2014 19:02

Shame Wink

MrsVamos · 30/06/2014 19:03

Rats.

Got excited then, thinking we might get a 4th set.

Raahh You have to BELIEVE. No scepticism allowed.

Gawd, if you think my drivel is entertaining, you need to get out more !

Go Grigi !

A Radwanska in big trouble. Game away from going out.

ALLEZ JO-WILLY !

MrsVamos · 30/06/2014 19:06

Why are they keeping the roof on ?

No rain. Its an outside tournament, ffs.
