Who is this woman on telly with Claire and JMc? Is she a former player that I don't recognise?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 27/06/2016 21:05

OMG it's Marion??!!!!!

Mama1980 · 27/06/2016 21:07

Raahh I went to uni Wales too, feels like a hundred years ago :)
Glad to hear Johnny Mac say he's going to be commentating as usual, the raonic thing is a kinda bonus consultancy form the way he's talking.

trixymalixy · 27/06/2016 21:09

Well done to Dan Evans and Marcus Willis!!

Doesn't Marion look dreadful? Way older than 31!

Raahh · 27/06/2016 21:18

from what I saw of Milos at Queens, the Mac connection is doing him good. I hope it continues.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 27/06/2016 21:23

Me too Raahh

Raahh · 27/06/2016 21:31

I have been following Milos for a while-I remember when he became the first Canadian to get into the top ten.(2011?) There was an iffy net touching moment against Delpo at the Roger's Cup (iirc) that put me off momentarily. But I've forgiven him now.Grin

mogloveseggs · 27/06/2016 21:41

Is there room for another one?
Not had chance to watch today although going to catch up on iplayer now. Am in the ABD camp. Looking forward to Murray tomorrow and Isner too!

CremeEggThief · 27/06/2016 22:20

Congratulations to Iceland on a famous win.Grin

Raahh · 27/06/2016 22:29

Welcome Mog

Creme it was not great. Should have given local lad Rashford more time.
Well done IcelandGrin

Raahh · 27/06/2016 22:36

Maybe this could be the year of the true sporting underdogs- Marcus Willis (£225 ish this year prize money before today), Iceland, a footy team no-one thought would get anywhere. With an amazing haka-esque chant.

I luvs an underdog.

magimedi · 28/06/2016 07:29

Morning!

Looking forward to Kyrgios v Stepanek on No2 court at 11.30 this morning.

Go! Stepanek! Tennis

I imagine I'll be missing most of Andy's match today. The baby has an appointment at 3:30pm. Sad

Gasquet v Bedene might be worth a watch.

Yy mog. Isner v Baghdatis is on my list to watch.

mogloveseggs · 28/06/2016 12:14

Thanks for the welcome Smile
GrouchyKiwi ooh another Isner fan!
Currently watching the Bendene match although have some jobs to do so will probably miss most of it.

It's a good match, but I need to shower and have lunch. I'm just so unmotivated today.

Raahh · 28/06/2016 13:05

I haven't had chance to see anything yet.

I know what you mean about being unmotivated. I've got a headache and feel like sleeping for a fortnight.Creme

Need to make the most of the laptop whilst dd1 is at school. Her, erm 'project' Grin seems to be taking a while.

See the excuses are already starting for SerenaHmm

Raahh · 28/06/2016 13:11

Delpo is playing after the Tsonga match. I'm not sure that's watchable on the red button (it won't be on proper telly).I have everything crossed for Potato.

CremeEggThief · 28/06/2016 13:42

Serena is really out of sorts here. It's amazing she's 5/2 up, as the Swiss girl has a really good game. Great variety with her shots. It's flabbergasting that this is her very first time in a grand slam.

I had lunch, but still no shower. Maybe I'll have one between Serena and Andy's matches, or maybe I'll just have a pajama day.

Raahh · 28/06/2016 13:46

Well, Tsonga has just won-straight sets , but not as easy as it looks from the score.

Potato up next(have found the tv channel for the red button- which is 993 on my Virgin box, not sure if that's the same for everyone.)

Raahh · 28/06/2016 14:43

Potato got the first set-Vamos!

And now I have to go outSad

mogloveseggs · 28/06/2016 15:06

Have to go get dd but want to watch the rest of the fritz match! Sad

DramaAlpaca · 28/06/2016 15:08

I was trying to catch a bit of Delpo on the red button when I popped home for lunch Wink but the red button isn't working for me. It wasn't yesterday evening either. Just keeps saying it's loading, but doesnt'. V annoying.

CremeEggThief · 28/06/2016 15:55

Stunning forehand down the line there from Broady. A shame he hasn't managed to get in this match more.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 28/06/2016 16:27

Stupid question time. Why was Jo-Willy playing on court 12? I thought the big guns got the "better" courts e.g. lower numbers?
