Come on andy!!

Raahh · 08/07/2016 17:17

GrinHearts very true.

I don't want either to win, Juan.

Berdych is such a meh player to me. He's always there but I couldn't tell you much about what he's won. (Apart from losing to Rafa in 2010).

BeckerLleytonNever · 08/07/2016 17:21

The commentators have serena on a pedestal don't they?

I cant stand the woman, except when shes playing doubles with Venus, then shes so dofferent, much nicer. Glad theyre into the finals.

Bouchard is the other Canadian.
I always thought Peter ''yummy'' Fleming was Canadian but only cos hes always reminded me of Bryan Adams! Grin.

Come on Andy and Heather. Heathers mum looks so sweet.

well done Milos (does his hair EVER move?) Tennis

JuanPotatoTwo · 08/07/2016 17:22

I was never much of a Leyton fan when he was a player but I'm quite liking his commentating.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 08/07/2016 17:23

Berdych is pretty easy on the old eyes though......

BeckerLleytonNever · 08/07/2016 17:28

Juan me too, re Lleyton . never liked him as a player (despite having him in my username!)

Want Andy to win the whole lot just to shut up the media, not satisfied with his 2 GS and gold medal acheivements and numerous Finals, and while he's still British!

Having said that, haven't seen a unpredictable final since Krajcek and Washington in the mens (plus streaker!) so new faces would be good, as was Nish and Cilic at the US open.
If its Raonic/Berdych (more itches!) then Milos for the trophy! Tennis.

why is Boris looking like a bloated lobster these days? ! Grin. Tennis

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 08/07/2016 17:28

BeckerLleytonNever awesome NN by the way, I am so glad that Genie seems to have gotten over her previous brattiness. For a while there I was embarrassed. Her unsportsmanlike demeanor in the last couple of years was so un-Canadian but she seems to be getting better.

BeckerLleytonNever · 08/07/2016 17:31

Thanx Hearts.

Oh gosh, only 2 days left Sad already starting withdrawal symptoms.

Davis Cup next week though so something to look forward to.

JuanPotatoTwo · 08/07/2016 17:33

I haven't been as wrapped up in this year's Wimbledon as usual - but I'm still dreading that awful "well, that's it for another year" feeling that will come on Sunday after the final! Ridiculously, it always seems like the end of summer!

BagelGoesWalking · 08/07/2016 17:33

I thought Raonic was originally from Montenegro and in Canada from the age of 3.

Very pleased he won, he really kept his cool. Does feel like the old guard is changing...

JuanPotatoTwo · 08/07/2016 17:33

Oh cross post Becker!

GrouchyKiwi · 08/07/2016 17:34

So I'm watching with the sound off so my darlings can watch Ben & Holly. I'm counting on you to tell me if the commentators say anything particularly brilliant or egregious.

I am liking Lleyton too. And feeling blessed no Inverdale...

derxa · 08/07/2016 17:37

why is Boris looking like a bloated lobster these days? Grin I thought he was looking a wee bit less lobsterish today.

GrouchyKiwi · 08/07/2016 17:40

I think Berdych looks a bit embryonic. In the way that Bendywinks Cluttersnack does.

Me too - but I made a cunning plan a while back & am off to see PFGD next week!

This is pretty boring tennis to watch - hope Andy does it in 3.

mogloveseggs · 08/07/2016 17:41

Afternoon!
How did fed get on does anyone know?

BringMeTea · 08/07/2016 17:43

He out in 5 sets.

JuanPotatoTwo · 08/07/2016 17:43

He lost in five mog

JuanPotatoTwo · 08/07/2016 17:43

That is indeed a cunning plan muddled - not so muddled after all!

BagelGoesWalking · 08/07/2016 17:50

Withdrawal symptoms will be bad on Monday. We take DD to join her summer camp on Mon afternoon so it will be very quiet after that!

I shall have no further excuse to delay tidying up the house, the shed, putting loads of stuff online to sell. Help! Shock

hugoagogo · 08/07/2016 17:52

I remember Berdych now- it's the knees!

mogloveseggs · 08/07/2016 18:03

Thanks tea and Juan
Sad

BringMeTea · 08/07/2016 18:05

Berdych bores me a bit. Is there no love lost between these 2 or media hype?

GrouchyKiwi · 08/07/2016 18:11

Berdych sure can move around the court.
