Andrew Castle is just awful- and yy, he was frightening on StrictlyGrin

GrouchyKiwi · 30/06/2016 20:37

It's first up on CC, Raahh.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 30/06/2016 20:39

Her younger brother is named after Prince William too I believe.

18 seeds lost today.

Some great matches to look forward to tomorrow. Let's hope the weather holds off!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 30/06/2016 20:40

Oops X post!!!

Raahh · 30/06/2016 20:40

Thanks, Grouchy- wonder if it will start early? I hope it's a good match. I've missed Potato at his best. And I need someone to cheer for!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 30/06/2016 20:41

Raonic needs to win tomorrow because it's Canada Day Grin

Raahh · 30/06/2016 20:43

ooh, Happy Canada day! Hearts . He'd better win then! He ought to- but after today, who knows?!

CremeEggThief · 30/06/2016 20:55

11 on the outside courts, on the red button on telly until 11.30, and 1 on the show courts.

I can't believe Fed is playing another Brit!

Morning all I hate to say it but is anyone l finding wimby a bit flat this year? Just finding it hard to get invested in the matches, and the only, two I really want to do well (potato and Stan) are playing each other!

SpaceUnicorn · 01/07/2016 08:49

I'm a bit 'meh' because Rafa's missing, but I generally find the first week a bit slow: there's always a few shock exits and a few exciting 'stories', but for me the competition doesn't really kick off until the second week.

magimedi · 01/07/2016 09:30

I know what you mean about feeling a bit flat. But I am very flat anyhow after last week & I reckon today will get me right back into the Tennis spirit.

Kyrgios v Brown & Pot v Stan - should be great.

Much as I am a Murray fan I am so sick of all the "isn't he amazing" type comments. Had he come out as slowly as he did against Lu yesterday & it had been Djok things would have been very different.

Can anyone advise me on what to wear to Wimbledon? Are jeans and a top acceptable or do people dress up a bit more?

Has anyone ordered the afternoon tea in a picnic bag, is it worth it?

SpaceUnicorn · 01/07/2016 11:49

Ooof, Troicki, I hope I never accidentally piss you off!! Shock

Raahh · 01/07/2016 13:07

Yay! they are out!

But I am so conflicted by this match. I love them both. Sad

Raahh · 01/07/2016 13:10

Sorry trixy just saw your message. I have only been to Wimbledon once- 22 years agoShock. I did wear a dress, but I'm sure jeans are fine.

I really feel for Del Potro. He should have been a real threat to Fed/Nadal/Djok- stupid pesky wristsSad

SpaceUnicorn · 01/07/2016 13:10

Me too - I'd like to see them both in the second week Sad

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 01/07/2016 13:27

I've not been to Wimbledon but I have been to Queen's and I would say it is just a tad bit more formal than jeans. Most of the men looked identical. It was very funny. They were all wearing checked open necked shirts, linen sports jackets, chinos, no socks and plimsolls. But having said that Wimby are certainly not going to kick you out for wearing jeans so you could just go for comfort.

Raahh · 01/07/2016 13:31

Oh, Vamos Juan!!!

Raahh · 01/07/2016 13:42

this is not going well- poor Juan.

SpaceUnicorn · 01/07/2016 13:57

Outside courts rained off AGAIN!!

BagelGoesWalking · 01/07/2016 13:57

Only time I went was for the Olympics. Definitely not formal, if you look at to coverage, everyone is just in whatever's comfy (and rainproof)

CremeEggThief · 01/07/2016 14:06

I would go for jeans and a nice top and some comfy flats or Converse, especially as the weather is so rainy this year. Whatever you decide, don't forget your rain coat AND umbrella!Smile.

Raahh · 01/07/2016 14:17

I had to go out briefly- come on Juan- get a set!

Raahh · 01/07/2016 14:19

I also want to see Dustin play thrash Kyrgios.

SpaceUnicorn · 01/07/2016 14:22

I also want to see Dustin play thrash Kyrgios

Me too Grin
