Ooooh !

Gentleman's draw today, some great matches from the off ! Yay !

Lets hope the weather stays good and the players stay fit and well.

VAMOS !

Looks like all the meeja have been told to wear Wimby colours !

Tim with his tie, navy suits and dresses.

All very co-ordinated.

Go Liam !

Go Jo !

Go Heather !

Doh! Penny has only just dropped that Liam and Naomi Broady are siblings!

I should love Serena, great talent etc, but just hate her "illnesses" on court, definitely psyches out her opponent. Just find it hard to believe that she could still play if she really was feeling as bad as she looks.

Who do you want to win the women's final?

Morning Bagel

Yy, they are ! First siblings to make the main draw since the 70's.

Not sure who I want to win the Women's yet. I quite like Kvitova.

Can be difficult to judge, those you expect to do well drop like flies.

I'm much more fickle in my allegiance with the women.

Maybe anyone but Serena ?!

The Broadys are from near me, in Stockport. As was Fred Perry.

There aren't many famous Stopfordians .

I rekon Serena will become "ill" during the quarter finals. If Bartolli is commentating she will get much sympathies. They are besties dontya know

yy I like Kvitova, and Halep, though Halep hasn't had a great year.

The way Serena acted at RG was appalling, ill or not. really disrespectful towards her opponents. I think the officials are scared of her.

Hiya LandU

Marion's fawning is muchos ridonkulous, I agree.

Famous Stopfordians. Hmmm. Didn't even know it was a 'thing'.

Soooo, with all these lovely choices, whose watching whom ?

I'm sticking with BBC2 for now.

Did you see Nasty Nick took the 1st set 6-0 ?

leprechauns, I really went off Bartoli when she commentated the Serena match. I usually love her, but she annoyed

Hello everyone

I was annoyed by Bartoli's commentary - no objectivity at all. Am interested to see how Roddick is as a commentator. Still think the Roddick/Fed match was the most amazing.

Brody lost 1st set.

Azarenka took 1st set.

Cilic going well.

Just warming up now. Stretching to open the bottle ]grin]

Radwanska/Bencic final at Eastbourne was v good

Don't like unsportsmanship, at all.

Can't view Serena objectively at all given the way she behaves.

Disrespect to players, officials and sport I feel.

Hopefully Roddick will be good. We have yet to learn if he has an annoying voice or daft commentary.

Best match has to be either Roger V Rafa Final Wimby, or Rafa winning his 9th at RG.

So far.

Ooh cath

Courtside reporting !

Who are you watching ?

Afternoon all!

Getting children fed and out of the way so I can have a quiet afternoon. Dinner is leftovers so that's sorted.

purple I think you should wear your hair in two grown up bunches (unless it's short...) and don a fetching pair of brightly-framed sunglasses - maybe in the aforementioned purple? Pretty sure you'd stand out then.

Hi Grouchy

And here comes Sue. The voice of Doom

Afternoon all

Callout for Stockport during Broady commentary, Raahh You are famous!

I hope Boris had packed his Sun cream. it is going to be hot this week.

Have made dinner, baked biscuits, set up paddling pool in the shade for my youngest 2 and sitting with ds1 all ready with the iPad for the Djokovic match (don't tell him but I'd love Novak to go out today )
Dislike serena completely her attitude is just awful on and off court.

They also mentioned Didsbury, which is where they used to have a pretty big pre- Wimbledon tournament. I saw lots of big names there.
And for reasons unknown, the club is where dh's softball league often have end of. season parties

I must be going soft, but Djok had grown on me a bit.

Bet Kohlshreiber wishes Ferrer had pulled out before the draw - as the number 33 in t be world, he would have been seeded and avoided this match.

I loathe jokstrap. He's looking smug already and he hasn't even hit a ball
