Hope you enjoy it, THE Raahh!! Grin

I hope it's a good match - so often they can be nervy & over too fast.

It's tomorrow I'm really looking forward to!

Thanks for the new thread Raahh. Will check back in later.

Halloooo. Rooting for Bouchard today as I have lots of Canadian friends.

Also JACK SOCK on third in the Gentlemen's Doubles! Wild card Jack Sock!

Raahh · 05/07/2014 13:29

Jack Sock, the Fabulously named Jack Sock Grin

I have a French Canadian surname, apparently it's one of the most common names in North America. Dh's dad was American.

I'd rather we called Sock. Grin

Checking in after a whirlwind morning doing chores, I can settle down guilt free.
Kvitova gets my support, the DS's like Bouchard because she's so pretty. I'm more excited about today than tomorrow.

GrouchyKiwi · 05/07/2014 13:47

At least your apostrophe is correct.

Supporting Bouchard. I think.

DoctorTwo · 05/07/2014 13:52

Thanks for the shiny new thread Raaah. I'll be switching between this and the Tour de Yorkshire. Go Genie! Tennis

DramaAlpaca · 05/07/2014 14:00

Hi DoctorTwo, I've just signed out of the Tour de Yorkshire thread to come over here.

I'm recording the Tour & will go back to the thread when I've watched it later on, so no doubt I'll see you over there as well Smile

Not sure who I'm supporting - Genie, I think.

Provencalroseparadox · 05/07/2014 14:05

Facebook friend says they should be Sock & Popsock!

DramaAlpaca · 05/07/2014 14:14

Arf at Sock & Popsock Grin

GrouchyKiwi · 05/07/2014 14:20

First break to Kvitova. Break back, Bouchard.

DuPainDuVinDuFromage · 05/07/2014 14:27

Hello all! Just checking in before DD wakes up from her nap. Missed nearly everything yesterday...might see if I can find the Bahrami match online, it sounds like it was as hilarious as they always are!

I like both Bouchard and Kvitova, just hope it's a good match. Have a feeling Kvitova will have more mental strength, this year at least.

Raahh · 05/07/2014 14:30

The crowd are quiet. Again.

They had better buck up tomorrow.

OP posts:
Raahh · 05/07/2014 14:31

That's better , a bit of cheering. I feel a little sorry for Kvitova- I think Genie is the favourite with the crowd.

OP posts:
DoctorTwo · 05/07/2014 14:31

You more than likely will DA. :o

I think Bouchard looks a bit nervous.

Raahh · 05/07/2014 14:33

Kvitova seems in a hurry- maybe she can sense the rain coming.

OP posts:
Raahh · 05/07/2014 14:34

Don't think this is going quite how Genie hoped.

OP posts:
Fiderer · 05/07/2014 14:35

I haven't seen much of either of them but Bouchard seems a bit up herself.

DramaAlpaca · 05/07/2014 14:38

I was reading about Bouchard's falling out with Laura Robson. They were very close, almost grew up together, and are now barely on speaking terms.

I've decided I'm going for Kvitova. She's come out fighting.

Raahh · 05/07/2014 14:39

Fid- I think she is just very, very, confident. But there is afine line between that and arrogance, and I hope she has the riht people around her to make sure she doesn't cross it.

OP posts:
Raahh · 05/07/2014 14:41

Drama- I am not keen on Robson, I think there may have been a bit of jealousy at play. Bouchard is fulfilling her potential, whilst Robson clearly hasn't. Sam Smith last year alluded to Laura being difficult to work with.

OP posts:
Fiderer · 05/07/2014 14:42

I didn't know that, I just thought from the pre-match soft-focus interviews that she came across as "I'm so special". Suppose it's always a personal thing, I just didn't take to her.

Raahh · 05/07/2014 14:42

Ok. Unless Genie finds picks up her game, this could be one of those really dull finals.
