Wimbledon Thread 2 More pimms anyone ?

[MrsVamos]

Thread 2 on Day 4.

Loving it !

Loved the I Feel Love montage.

I used to have the hots for Connors.

DH has finished watching the football (he's French so there was a lot of cheering) and now I'm in front of the telly while DH cooks

Allez Jo-Willy! Not that I'm expecting him to win...

It is very noisy in my little street right now with the French celebrations. In the meantime I have missed the tennis.

I fear the odds are against Jo.

Allez !

Now I'm torn, but I think Tsonga. He looks like he actually enjoys playing.

Grigi 2 sets up.

Radwanska out.

Stan complaining about the scheduling.

Thing is, you can't account for the weather, and obviously those scheduled on CC will stand a better chance of playing. And if the bad weather continues, all the players will end up playing back to back matches. This is the downside of the 'no play on the middle Sunday'. He got an extra day's rest he didn't need, in effect.

He should be happy he has had an easy match.
I like Stan, but he does have a habit of whinging.

Djok/Tsonga- the odds have to favour Djok. But you never know when Tsonga might pull something out of the bag.

C'mon Grigor.

Just think, next- Grigor v Murray.

The match where Andrew Castle ties himself up in knots and his head explodes.

Rafa had a bit of a moan too, re the schedule, but did also say that everyone is in the same boat.

They are all big boys, I'm sure they will be fine.

It will just royally feck me off if someone loses and pundits attribute it to "well, they did play 2 days on a row"....

Well, feckin re-schedule to make it fair to all then.

Isn't it lucky the schedule hasn't affected Andy...yet ?

*in a row

I think I need a bigger phone or tablet with a bigger key pad.

Grrrrrr.

Or a phablet.

Dear me.

Novak 1 game from 1st set.

ALLEZ JO

MrsV- re-Andy, it would be cynical to think he's been lucky.

he's been lucky

But the schedulers are going to put the biggest draw on Centre- and I'm not sure Stan is that.

I think the way the US Open is scheduled is far worse- and even more open to chaos if the weather is bad.

Jo-willy really hasn't been able to fufil his potential. He looks like he enjoys it though.

Grigor nearly has the match.

No, but Stan stated that on Saturday eve when play re-started he would have been happy to play on any outside court, and get it done. Instead they put on doubles and juniors.

Any-hoo.

US is a nightmare ! Glad I don't have the means to watch, imagine staying up and then rain delay !

They are supposed to be getting a roof, too, eventually...

GO GRIGI !

I so feel for Jo. He's such a trier with little reward.

I can see Stan's point about the outside courts.

So it's Grigor v Murray.

Go Grigor!!

Humph- so today is 'people rich enough to buy out the whole tournament-freebie Monday'.

S'not fair.

Lets just hope Grigi will make it a match.

Hasn't RB got an island to be on ?!

Has the bloke dressed as a flower gone home. I felt really sorry for the poor woman sat next to him (who really didn't want to talk to him)- pay all that money for a seat and end up sat next to an exhibitionist twit

AC is a pillock.

No sign of Jelena this week ?

ITS MONDAY, TWAT.

Good to see status re-aligned.

I always think Necker is an ugly name for an island.

Suppose Virgin isles was taken.

Yy.

That will be me.

Dressed like a bull or matador, I haven't decided.

Complete with horns.

I personally think he couldn't spell knicker.

He freely admits he's thick as shit.

Poor Jo is so patient the match gets won.

I know its wrong but I do feel like screaming 'hit the feckin ball !'
