Raahh Grin doesn't look quite as plastered on as previous years! Raonic and Cilic must be quite pleased at DJok's exit.

Come back from a hike to AMAZING news!

I almost don't care who wins the Men's now, although if I'm honest, I'm sitting next to CremeEggThief on the Go Fed Bench. Love him, and have done since 2003.

Huge congrats to all of you with tickets -- I am dying to be able to snag some for Monday. That will be my last Ticketmaster attempt. It's killing me.

In other news, I have been to Tesco, and now I know what MNetters mean by FruitShoots.

I can't tell you how nice it is to be watching Wimbledon with a drink in my hand and the sound of sheep bleating in the background.

I love it here....

Just back from a quick food shop and am amazed to see Mac commentating the Raonic match. How does he manage that?

NoBarbaraGood · 02/07/2016 19:49

I'm waiting to hear what MrsVamos has to say about today's results.

Raahh · 02/07/2016 19:50

Going well for Potato still. Happy day!

I would LOVE Cilic to win. Just to see the beautiful Goran get over emotional.

Gasquet struggling a bit.

Come on Milos!

Hatin' on Jack Sock's beard.

John Mac keeps using the expression "bummed" or "bummer". I seem to remember getting a lot of abuse for doing the same; was that here?

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:02

Barbara- no idea re bummer. I say bummer from time to time. Never really thought much of it. There is an element of MN who will find offence at anything though. Grin
maybe Sock thinks the beard makes him look older. It didn't work for baby faced Goffin either. Jack's makes him look a bit Amish. I like beards as a rule.Beards without a tache look odd, imo.Grin

NoBarbaraGood · 02/07/2016 20:06

Amish!!

That's it! Too funny!

Needing eye bleach, now. Kyrgios is having his nose swabbed.

And all before my dinner, too. Blergh.

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:08

Ewwww! That's not tennisGrin

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:11

Grrr. Pouille won the second set against Potato. Vamos Juan!

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:13

What exactly was on that cotton bud up his nose then?Hmm

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:13

Come on Lopez!!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 02/07/2016 20:14

you can't beat the smell of new tennis balls

Isn't there some female player who sniffs the balls before she serves and she can tell the difference between different balls by their smell?

I forget where I heard it.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 02/07/2016 20:16

I remember! It was on the radio yesterday. Probably Capital or Radio 1 and they were making a dirty joke of her smelling the balls, phnar phnar.

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:17

Hearts- I heard that on the radio.Grin It was part of Scott Mills' innuendo bingoGrinI think it's Cibulkova.

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:17

GrouchyKiwi · 02/07/2016 20:26

Yes, it's Cibulkova. They said she prefers Slazenger during the commentary. Why would you even tell people about that habit?

Is Lopez Judy Murray's favourite? Have a recollection of her being embarrassing about him or something.

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:31

Grouchy- yes, she called him Deliciano Lopez.Andy took the piss on twitterGrin

SpaceUnicorn · 02/07/2016 20:32

Is Lopez Judy Murray's favourite? Have a recollection of her being embarrassing about him or something.

Apparently she has quite a crush on him Grin (me too).

Just reading about the fines - why was Heather Watson fined the second largest fine in Wimbledon history for racquet abuse? Was it really the second worst incident of on-court anger ever seen at Wimbledon?

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:34

Heather? Really? I missed that!

GrouchyKiwi · 02/07/2016 20:34

Ah yes, Deliciano. Grin

I thought that too, Space. Serena threw her racquet and the fine was smaller than Heather's, who only bashed hers into the turf.

SpaceUnicorn · 02/07/2016 20:38

Aside from anything else, £7k is pennies to Serena, £9k is a hell of a lot to Heather. And she got fined more that Trioki?! After that outburst??

I watched that match and I didn't even notice Watson smash her racquet. Doesn't seem very fair.

Lopez makes some, errrmmmm, 'interesting' noises on court, doesn't he? Blush

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:41

Just read that- seems very steep. Unless she dug a crater into the hallowed turf.

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:45

Good win for Milos- sadly Potato has gone 2-1 down. Vamos Juan!!

Raahh · 02/07/2016 20:47

Dh has turned over to the football- but looks like Deliciano could get a set.
