Wimbledon Thread 2 More pimms anyone ?

[MrsVamos]

Thread 2 on Day 4.

Loving it !

Itsfab

You read my drivel ?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 sceptical

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 Grigor

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.

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

Who is this Mark Petchy (Patchy?) chap?

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 commentator

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

Did Mac just say "tremederful"?

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 tea

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 reached

'Tremenderful'

honestly!

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.)

It is a very descriptive word

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

tie break!

C'mon Anderson!

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.

Poo.

Never mind.

Think Judy was supporting Anderson

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

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

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

Shame

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 !

Jimmy Connors looks awful.

Why are they keeping the roof on ?

No rain. Its an outside tournament, ffs.
