VAMOS RAFA !

[magimedi]

Checking in.

Watched the Martina Hingis doubles match - it was great.

So sad that the top men no longer play in the doubles - it's such fun.

Enjoy your day, purple

[Mama1980]

Just checking in to say goodnight everyone.
Hope you have a great time purple.

[Raahh]

Night all.

MASSIVE storm raging here, loads of thunder and lightning. It's been go I g on ages.

Annoyingly, I had arranged to get a mower to cut the grass.It will be all soggy again now

And I've just read there was an incident this evening when people were evacuated from Wimbledon due to a suspected gas leak.


Hopefully it wasn't started deliberately in protest at the shit highlights show

[BagelwithButter]

Nutters! You've all got sunstroke obviously

See you tomorrow, lots of good matches to look forward to

[MajesticWhine]

I'm going to miss most of Murray due to a school play - can someone please give him a cheer for me (no not you Raahh). See you all later.

[GrouchyKiwi]

We also had a massive storm last night, Raahh. Best I've ever seen. Ours was in the wee sma's, though.

Baby didn't settle till 3am, then was awake just after 7, so I get to be a sofa zombie today. I would have missed the start of Andy's match due to taking the children to BookBugs but they might have contracted chicken pox so that's out.

[magimedi]

I will cheer for you, Majestic - LOUDLY!!!!!!!!!

Come on, Andy!

I am going to be saintly & go for my swim at 11 & will be back in time for the Murray match - am amazed it's on first, BBC usually do anything they can to have him up after 5pm to get the viewing figures.

Hope there is no rain - it's really warm & muggy here & lots of low cloud & drizzle. (Near Eastbourne)

[Mama1980]

Morning all,
no cheering Andy from me sorry
No storm here (South East) but there is cloud and the temperature is incredible so surely it can't be too long til it arrives.

[Raahh]

Nor me, Mama no surprise there

Still warm here, despite the storm, but nothing like yesterday. Think the hear wave is over

The Querrey/Federer match could be interesting. In theory, you wouldn't think Sam stands a chance, but he has had a very solid run up to the tournament. Not sure there will be an upset, but it could be a good match for Fed.

But I'm usually wrong

[Raahh]

Am just back from picking up dd2, it has started raining, but is still muggy.

Aww. little umpire in the James Ward match or just very very tall players.

[HarveySchlumpfenburger]

Bloody hell it's a deluge. If this is headed east I don't see much chance of play. I'm going to be soaked within seconds of getting off this bus.

[Raahh]

Excellent start for Ward.

[HenriettaTurkey]

Great set for Wardy. Especially breaking from 40-0 to clinch it & serve first in second.

[Raahh]

I think I will stick with the Ward. I will just have to get my red button to stop freezing.

I really don't want to listen to the commentary in the Murray match!

[cathcustard]

Checking in, hello.
I actually played tennis last night, but it was a slightly different game to anything at SW19.
Not a Murray fan so might switch over to Lisiki.

[GrouchyKiwi]

Feeling a bit sad because Val Doonican passed away. Grew up listening to one of his records my parents owned.

I'm watching Andy. Haase had an excellent service game to open. I wouldn't be crazy upset if Andy lost to him because Dutch patriotism would take over.

It looks like it might be a good match.

[GrouchyKiwi]

Maybe spoke too soon. Haase broken already.

[Mama1980]

That's it the commentary is just too awful I'm switching over to ward.

[Raahh]

I'm glad I'm not watching

I would like to see Haase make a match of it. Only I don't want to have to listen to it!

set point Ward.

[Raahh]

tie break getting a bit tense.

[BagelwithButter]

Well done Ward! Phew

Not watching Murray either, will stay with Ward and Lisicki. I like her

[MirandaWest]

I'm watching the Ward match - looks like Murray doesn't need too much additional support at the moment.

[BagelwithButter]

Surprised that Lisicki has lost 1st set

[Mama1980]

Ward is doing great. Doesn't need to be broken now though....

[TroelsNextCampaignManager]

For anyone watching the Murray match - how much of this is Hasse having a nightmare and how much is it Murray saying to Fed, Nole, Rafa 'anything you can do...'?

Great to see Watson win her doubles match and Ward 2 sets up
