VAMOS RAFA !

MrsV

Better t'internet be down [sob] than the TV I s'pose

Hearts

Oh my word, yes, I'd be bereft if it was the tv.

Yours isn't broken is it ?

Catching the last tennis of the day...

get a room

I'm missing the end of the Cilic match, but hope he wins. For the Goran Factor.

I suppose if there's an advantage to not beating Serena, it's that she's not going to have a stupid amount of media pressure about being the first British woman to win Wimbledon for xxxx years. She can go away and improve her game (and her serve), get more wins under her belt and come back with even more confidence and a better game than she has now. I'm not sure she's quite ready for the stupid media circus that would have happened if she'd won.

Colic v Isner is really good. Can't call it.

Agree, Rafa. She's too lovely to be subjected to all that just yet. Much better to remain 'under the radar' as it were.

Wow. C v I 6 all final set.

Think light will stop play shortly.

There's been lots of shouting and shrieking at the telly here, and now I've calmed down a bit with a lot glass of wine. I feel like Heather couldn't really have done anything different. It wasn't like her level dropped and she threw it away, it was just that Serena could raise her game when she needed to. Ah well.
I know Serena is a legend and all, but I just want anyone but her to win now.

Hi Majestic

Agree. With all you say. .

What I loved was that NO-ONE expected Heather to win anything more than a couple of games, never mind a set.

You could feel the shockwaves of the Beeb yet again having to deal with a massive upset that they thought impossible.

Serena faces Venus next, and said post-match that Venus is in better form than her, somehow I doubt that.

Our TV is fine. DH would have a nervous breakdown I think!

Come on Cilic!!

You two !

8 all C v I !

Going with serve 9-8 Colic.

Think play will be suspended very soon.

Come on Cilic! Goran

I don't know if she's necessarily 'under the radar' after today But we have a stupid way of putting a ridiculous amount of pressure on young sports players before they've matured their skills. Then we knock them down when they don't live up to the overly high expectations we put on them.

Quite, Rafa.

9 all now.

10-9 Colic.

Play continuing. Players happy to.

Isner just hit an ace that was called out. No hawk-eye cos its too dark.

0-30.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If Isner had more to his game than just his serve he wouldn't keep finding himself in these final set tie breaks.

15-30

30 all.

133mph ace

10 all.

Play suspended.

Rafa it's true.

And the ones with nothing but serve, never win the big tournaments. (Karlovic is another). Kyrgios, take note.

10-10

And play suspended. So they have all day tomorrow to finish it off.

Hmm, Rafa.

Colic not doing much but serving well either to be fair.

Although John does seem to like an extended Final set !

oh.

I hope Cilic comes out fighting. and Goran

Big day tomorrow.

A Brit might make it to the next round and it might not be Murray
