*WIMBLEDON* THREAD 3 WEEK 2 WHOOP WHOOP

[MrsVamos]

Ready ?

Play.

Almond Magnums are the best, Katie!!

Going to yoga for 1st time tonight I'm so unfit I will probably cry

Bets for Williams/Azarenka and Keys/Radwanska?

(Ignores Almond Magnum sacrilege)
I like a bit of Yoga. Not the mumbly-woo bits but the stretching and the nice lie down afterwards bits

Yy, katie

Hi Becker

Umm, the certain other player does indeed get a rollocking, and usually at a crucial point in a match, after a hard fought rally. He's always been the same. Not saying it makes it right, but...its not blatant favouritism at all.

If Nick hadn't behaved so appallingly in set 2 perhaps there wouldn't have been the fuss about taking one of his two pairs of socks he was wearing off.

I'll take Nicks opinions on board when he's won 14 Slams and proved himself worthy of the hype.

You do see more of Andys Dad (and step-mum) these days. They were at both Murray boys matches yesterday.

You'll have to ask others about Novak. Never have warmed to him, I'm afraid.

I have new bedroom furniture (it is so beautiful I nearly cried...) and a new laptop. HappyKiwi.

Come on Azarenka!

Actually, my baby is refusing to sleep even though she's grumpy, so make that SomewhatHappyKiwi.

Hi Bagel

I'd like it to be Vika but it will probably be Williams and Radwanska who win.

I certainly haven't heard Roddick, maybe he's working for US TV,

I noticed a few school age kids as well earlier. Maybe private schools already on hols?

Can't stand Kyrgios, he may be right about the socks but he has crap attitude and I hate the way the media excuse it.

Haven't bother to watch 2day for few days, may try again tonight

Grouchy !

Glad you're a bit happier today. New laptop sounds lovely, and new furniture.

Mines all donkeys years old.

Lovely point from Azarenka

Fair point Mrs V .

When are Leconte/Bahrami on? the Rudetski doubles match was fun! better than watching shrieky giving birth or grim face serena anyday.

Odd about Roddick, the BBC did announce him as part of the commentary team, but haven't heard anything while its been on.

I did read he & his wife announced in May they are expecting their first baby, perhaps he didn't want to leave her and didn't take the job ?

Shame. I bet he would have been good.

Hi MrsV. :) I'm only getting new stuff because we moved house and I convinced DH that new houses need new furniture. Hopefully this will last for a good long time.

So glad Aza got the break; hope she can hold now.

Speaking of veteran players, did anyone else guffaw at Nastase all done up like a S American dictator yesterday? Twas something to see indeed

Becker

I think the Legends matches happen over the next few days. You usually have to keep an eye on schedule.

I remember last year I only caught a bit of it and that was because lovely Rafa was chatting on here and told me it was on a red button.

Good reasons to be a Happy Grouchy

Our laptop is so noisy, like a tractor, I'd love a new one. Hope baby will sleep better soon - I'm sure we'd love to coo over pic of Kiwibaby and Henriettababy

I can see this match getting very noisy.

Need to get dinner sorted. :/

Stephen Fry and his baby in the audience

Grouchy, lovely, you don't have to explain it to me ! I love new things, just can't afford any.

You know what else they say about new houses, don't you ?

New baby.....

katie

I saw him too ! I think a vommentator said something about Sergeant Pepper...

Bagel

Ooh, great return from Azarenka.

I don't think GrouchyBaby will sleep. She's working on a new tooth, poor wee possum.

Here she is enjoying the sun the other day.

That doesn't surprise me about Shrieky.

Hahaha, MrsV! Maybe next year.

I'm here supporting Vika! Ds (3) said today "mummy, you've watched enough tennis now". He has so much to learn.

He's great at names though. He recognises Murray and yesterday asked who he was playing. I said Karlovic. "Oh" he said "and there's also Djokovic ".

Amusingly he pronounces Azarenka "'as a wanker"

Oh, Grouchy she is gorgeous !

Hi Henrietta [smiles]

DS will learn. They all do.

LOVING Awanker !

Sorry, Azawanker.

that's actually brilliant !
