Enjoy, thisone, you lucky thing. Envy

GrouchyKiwi · 29/06/2016 20:06

Oh how lovely for you, thisone!

thisonethennomore · 29/06/2016 21:15

Thank you, I'll try and do some live MN reporting.
Sadly I think it'll be Murray and I'm not his biggest fan.

CremeEggThief · 29/06/2016 21:33

We'll look out for you, Thisone. I have only been to the outside courts at Wimbledon on a grounds pass before, but you know what? It doesn't really matter who you get to watch. It's the sheer atmosphere of being in the Cathedral of our sport that really matters.

CremeEggThief · 29/06/2016 21:36

Clare just said they're on at 9.30 for the highlights show tomorrow night, which I think is better. I think it's really silly interrupting live play to show the highlights, whereas it's a natural progression for it to follow once all play is finished for the day. In Harry Carpenter's day, it was always much later.

thisonethennomore · 29/06/2016 21:44

Me too Creme, I'm a tad excited. Fingers crossed for a dry day, we live about a 3 hour journey away and I love walking about all the practice courts and drinking Pimms.

SpaceUnicorn · 29/06/2016 21:55

And you dodged a bullet, cos Djoko definitely won't be on cc tomorrow! Grin

trixymalixy · 29/06/2016 21:56

Ooh, have a fab time thisone!!

I've got tickets for CC on Monday. It's my first time and I can't wait!!

SpaceUnicorn · 29/06/2016 21:56

I'm sure it used to be on around 10pm, years ago.

GrouchyKiwi · 29/06/2016 22:04

I am so envious of you ticket holders.

One day.

trixymalixy · 29/06/2016 22:11

I've been trying for years Groucho. I won't believe it until I actually walk through those gates!

Just watchin Willis vs federer. I would have loved to have been there!

thisonethennomore · 29/06/2016 22:18

Some people seem to get them every year, it's odd, then others nothing ever.
We've only ever got them in our local club ballot never the main draw, but I know someone who's had men's finals three years in a rowAngry

SpaceUnicorn · 30/06/2016 07:16

You've got Murray followed by Konta, thisone Smile

thisonethennomore · 30/06/2016 08:02

Thanks Space, looking forward to it.

GrouchyKiwi · 30/06/2016 11:29

Heather's having a jolly tough time today. It must be so difficult to play a match over 3 days.

SpaceUnicorn · 30/06/2016 12:38

Oh Heather Sad

trixymalixy · 30/06/2016 12:49

Oh what a shame for heather! she'll be gutted.

SpaceUnicorn · 30/06/2016 13:26

She put up such a fight in that last set, and at one point Beck really looked to be flagging. I thought she had it Sad

Raahh · 30/06/2016 14:06

Poor Heather- second year she has lost in such a tough way. She would have been better off if the match had finished yesterday, when Beck looked to be slowing Was she injured?

Evans beat Dogsbollocks- good result for him, not so much Dogs, who is still plodding on. Hasn't quite been as good as he could have been, imo.

Dimitrov has really lost his way this year- but he has a set so far against Simon.

Think the Gasquet match could be good- Granollers has had a good year, and the Seppi/Raonic match could also be interesting.

Also high hopes for Thiem, athough Vesely beat Djok earlier in the year, and might fancy his chances..

And GO JO!

Bad start for Andy.

Teaching my children to cheer for Murray. DD2: "Go Mandy! Go Mandy!"

CremeEggThief · 30/06/2016 16:22

I love that, KiwiGrin.

Raahh · 30/06/2016 17:08

Damn- Muguruza is being beaten - that's not good- Vamos!!

Thursday is my in/out kind of day - too many clubs to ferry the dc to!

So- off to get dd2 from Rainbows...

CremeEggThief · 30/06/2016 17:11

Just turned over for a bit from Murray vs Lu. Can she fight her way out of this one??

CremeEggThief · 30/06/2016 17:24
Shock
DramaAlpaca · 30/06/2016 17:30

Oh feck it! I wasn't expecting Muguruza to get beaten Sad
