Mrs V of course I won't forget (it's a bit like passports!). They are currently in envelope on top of tall boy where I keep various lotions etc so everyone I out some crime on I can see them. Eeeeeeeeeek! Also don't want to make people too envious.

Of course now I'm trying to work out who might see...I'm hoping our man makes it through and gets in centre. If he beats Dreddy Tennis (the magnificently coiffured Dustin Brown he could play Troicki. Or could be Murray vs Seppi or Tsonga vs Dogs would be great. Anyway will be great whatever....Grin Grin Grin

"Out some crime on". Sorry it's the heat and autocorrect ...I obviously meant put some Creme on.....

I know it's bad to have alcohols but I need a drink!

LeBearPolar · 01/07/2015 19:04

Am I the only one who thinks that Stan always looks like he's going to have an almighty tantrum at any moment? It's just something about his face...

HenriettaTurkey · 01/07/2015 19:07

Thursday schedule: Murray-Haase 1st on Ct1 at 1pm, Ward-Vesely 1st on Ct2 at 11.30, Bedene-Troicki last on 12. CC: Lisicki, Federer, Nadal.

MrsVamos · 01/07/2015 19:16

Lol purple.

You might be lucky and see Rafa, although it might be doubtful because he's on CC tomorrow, so I would expect if Andy gets through he will take centre stage, and Rafa back on Ct 1.

Who knows ? You may see both ! You might even get the roof and a late night one ?

I'm sure you'll have a brilliant time whoever you see. Smile

This Victor playing Stan is a nice soul. Think he's off home though.

Good straighforward win for Stan. And some very cute serve and volley points for him towards the end.

MrsVamos · 01/07/2015 19:20

At least Rafa is on CC tomorrow, so if there's any of the potential storms the roof can go on & he'll get to play and hopefully complete his match.

I would imagine the first couple of matches will go quite quickly, so expect to see Rafa about 4 ish, if not earlier.

MrsVamos · 01/07/2015 19:22

I'm so pleased Stan's playing well. I like him.

Good to see a proper potential contender for the title besides the main 2 the vommentators are obsessed with.

Raahh · 01/07/2015 19:22

I have been roped into something at school tomorrow, so hope Rafa isn't on til after 4. Don't want to miss it.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 01/07/2015 19:23

Purple honey you should be shouting from the rooftops that you have tickets! Of course we are all envious but I for one am so happy for you that you have tickets!!

We are just watching a bit of Serena and trying to explain to DD1 who is 11 and not a cynical bone in her body why exactly we are not fond of the woman.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 01/07/2015 19:25

Who is the American woman doing the commentating?

Raahh · 01/07/2015 19:28

yy, MrsV, I think Stan has a real chance.

I watched Sue talking to Tiger before, when she decided Kyrgios was just a 'character', and I am getting a bit Hmm about how she is insistent on bringing up the coaching 'thing'. Tim seemed fed up with it being mentioned again. I think (and I'm no Djok fan) that it is a desperate way for them to try and find some dirt on Djok. They have spent enough time slating everything Rafa does, and they don't see Fed as a threat due to his age. Anything to make 'their' man look good. It's getting very boring.

I'm trying to sort out dd2's bedtime. She's toooooooo hoooooooooottttttt apparently. Grin

MrsVamos · 01/07/2015 19:29

Hearts

Its Lindsey Davenport.

Raahh · 01/07/2015 19:31

hearts- not sure- sounds like Lindsey Davenport.

Raahh · 01/07/2015 19:31

x-post Grin

Raahh · 01/07/2015 19:33

Always dodgy line calls in Serena matches.

Because they are all scared of her. Hmm

purpleprincess · 01/07/2015 19:36

Thanks Hearts and Mrs V. I note Rog hasn't been on no 1 ct yet but he is such a favourite so who knows....Have seen Rog at 02 tour finals and get bit annoyed that crowd go bonkers every time he wins a single point...btw have had G&T now so feeling bit chilled.

Also might see likes of Djokovic and Stan on practice courts which is always good or signing autographs....

MrsVamos · 01/07/2015 19:39

Oh, Raahh you are a dafty for offering to do things when you know you really should say NO ! (its a complete sentence, y'know) Wink

I suppose Sabine & Roger could go longer, so you could be lucky. Also allowing for possible play stopping & roof closure might buy you time. Grin

Krygios is not a character, and I don't see him making week 2 to be honest. He's not got the play we all thought he had. He has much to learn and prove.

I would have thought 'they' need to be very careful trying to come down on Novak re 'cheating'. Its all bollocks, they ALL have little signs and messages. I'd love to know what Boris was conveying to Novak today by repeatedly standing after games, but equally I'd love to know what Uncle Toni's looks and nods mean. Its all a bit secret squirrel and silly.

No coaching should mean that. Funny how certain players get away with things more than others, like Rafa and his time keeping, Novak and his dissent and feigning illness etc.

Its all part of the game.

Poor DD. Smile Give her this Torch from me.

I wouldn't be trying to get her to bed, I'd let her sit quietly and watch her droop.

Can always take her to bed once she's dropped off !

I hope you have a thoroughly fantastic time !

Any pics of you and/or stars would be wonderful to see !

Yy to getting autographs. Lovely to have !

OP posts:
Raahh · 01/07/2015 19:46

She's fallen asleep now. Grin

I let them have a water fight, because she was melting before me, and it seems to have tired her out.

I kind of volunteered at school, because it is for dd1- and I seem to spend so much time sorting stuff for the other two, I felt obliged Grin

I'm not staying long, mind you! Grin

OMG, Venus's mother seems to have my hair. Grin Curly hair is shit in muggy weather Grin

MrsVamos · 01/07/2015 19:47

I've created Thread 2, linky please Raahh my gorgeous, when needed.

purple Hope you like Smile

Cos I'm sure we'll (or I'll) fill this one before tonight !

OP posts:
MrsVamos · 01/07/2015 19:53

Bless ! Doesn't take much !

Its funny, DD loved the pool last year yet she's not mentioned it once. Yet.

Far too busy chatting to her friends all over the world and trying to persuade Zayn to return to 1D !

You do have Guilty Mum Syndrome don't you, bless you ! I was the same. I get no help now though. Sad Grin

I wonder if Venus secretly wishes Serena would retire ?! She's pretty amazing the way she still tries.

OP posts:
MrsVamos · 01/07/2015 19:55

Oh bollocks. Serena won. Sad

May illness strike her down before Friday.

OP posts:
Raahh · 01/07/2015 19:56

thread 2

I know what you mean about Venus- bet she secretly would like to trip Serena over the net. Grin

MrsVamos · 01/07/2015 19:57

Why do people go to Wimby, I presume to see tennis, yet then choose to read a book ?
