*WIMBLEDON MENS SEMIS LETS GO !*

[MrsVamos]

Ready ?

Play.

Grouchy- precisely. Which is very fair comment.

Not taking anything away from Serena, as I believe that she will surpass Steffi's 22 (and possibly even Margaret Court's 24, obviously in an era when not all the top players played the Australian Open), but Steffi won 22 grand slams in the space of 12 years, and she was out injured for nearly 2 of those! In my opinion, that can't be bettered, even if you beat the overall record. Serena might equal it 17 years after her first GS.

Yes!!

Good start, Garbine!

Go Garbine!

Oooh, great start!

Creme- that's the thing, isn't it? It's hard to quantify, when things were different in different eras.

It is quite incredible how long Serena has been playing quality tennis.

Muguruza is fun to watch.

Exactly, Raah. To be fair to Serena, if she had been motivated all the years (although it's understandable why she went walkabout, after her sister's murder)she's been playing, she could probably have matched Steffi's record a lot earlier.

Afternoon lovelies

Good tennis from the ladies so far.

Vamos Garbine !

I am having a small cinnamon vodka, with appletise . I's like drinking apple pie

magi

Many happies, anniversaries, big 0's etc etc, but mostly many huge squidgy cuddles with DGG.

Ooh, Raahh I'm v

I am having to pace myself, MrsV- it's ages since I had vodka. it will go straight to my head.

Vamos Garbine!!

Women's finals often ended up being pretty one sided- on paper, this definitely looked that way.

I'm glad to see that so far Garbine is not letting anything get to her.

I really like what I see.

I haven't drunk vodka for years. I used to drink the black stuff with oj, which went green.

I think we have some jd around somewhere, and some advocaat, but nothing to mix either with.

Might have to send someone out for coke & lemonade.

Yy, Raahh.

Very promising.

I hope they can both keep this up because it will be a great match if they do.

I especially hope that Garbiñe can keep it up.

ooh, an unseasonal Snowball sounds good.

You could call it a Tennis ball instead.

Oh no.

I would love a good 3 setter (with the right outcome of course).

Ooh, Raahh you might have something there.

Well, it's not over- so you can break back, Garbine.

Serena is clearly more rattled than her opponent.

MrsV I can send DD1 for you if you want once her friend gets here. They are 11 and newly (in the last few months or so) allowed to walk to the shops and home from school, etc, by themselves. It's all they want to do, walk places with no grown up. Long may it last if you ask me. They grow up tooooo fast these days.

Ah nuts.

Vamos Garbiñe!
