The best fortnight of the year - WIMBLEDON 2016.

[magimedi]

Starts tomorrow.

Anyone else excited?

Oder of play is here

Bagel- I was thinking if Cib was too busy to get married, I'd step in?

Dh won't mind

gah! Raonic is a set down.Come on Milos.

I don't mind Baby faced Goffin, but can't see him going too far.
(But I'm often wrong).

I thought I knew how protected ranking works but wasn't 100% sure so I've checked the glossary of tennis terms on Wikipedia which defines it like this:

"protected ranking ("PR"): Players injured for a minimum of six months can ask for a protected ranking, which is based on his or her average ranking during the first three months of his or her injury. The player can use his or her protected ranking to enter tournaments' main draws or qualifying competitions when coming back from injury."

I wonder how Johhny Mac and Milos get on - they seem like very different characters.

Ah thanks Drama. I could have looked that up myself - if only I'd thought too!

To not too - distracted by the tennis (well that's my excuse anyway!)

Oh it's much more fun asking questions on here!

It doesn't explain how long it lasts for though, does it? So it's not really very clear at all

Goffin is avery deceptive player. He doesn't look like has any strength at all. He reminds me of ds (who is only 13!).

But if Raonic loses, i will be quite sad

Drama, yes I like a bit of social intercourse with my fellow humans!

I like Goffin too but prefer Milos. He strikes me as a gentle giant, if somewhat sinister looking. Did you hear his speecha speech

Oops - posted too soon. Was saying I thought his speech after losing Queens was lovely when he wished Andy a happy Father's Day.

Uh oh. Two set lead for Goffin.

Can someone tell me what's happening on centre court. Seems it's too slippy?

This Raonic match is a bit surprising. Wonder if he can turn it around now.

Not sure trixy - watching Court 1. Will update if I hear anything.

Rain is forecast, trixy & it's been drizzling a bit on the outside courts. I reckon they don't want to lose any time.

Go on, Goffin - I far to prefer his style of tennis to boring old Raonic.

They say play will be starting again very soon trixy

Thanks. Seems the roof is closing.

The lady beside me was supposed to be here with her husband, but he was bitten by an adder yesterday so has come with a friend instead leaving her husband in hospital. I'm with her. I world by have missed Wimbledon either!

Oh she sounds eminently sensible. What's a snake bite when there's tennis to be watched? He'll be fine ...

He is fine. Apparently he picked the adder up!

I am strangely entertained by the ball boys rolling the covers up on court , could it possibly be the codeine?

The commentators' pronunciation of Pouille is doing my head in. It really doesn't sound like "Pooey". Although Andrew Cotter is doing ok with it; must just be the Dan chap.

The weather this year really has been atrocious. Hope it clears up quickly.

What for ? To tell it off for biting him?!

I would Raahh although you'd miss the final on Sunday - too busy on your honeymoon!

Have NO idea what "loci pis" is (previous post) was meant to be hunk-a-licious, as I'm sure you worked out. Auto correct didn't like Cibulkova either!

Serena/Svetlana looks good atm

[http://www.andrewcotter.co.uk/ This]] is not what I expected Andrew Cotter to look like. Suspect I imagined him as Andy Nicol's twin.

Oops. Cotter
