Wimbledon 2016: Week Two.

[GrouchyKiwi]

Boring title; hope the tennis is better!

I always think of Mahut as being little and hobbit-like. But he's 6ft 3!

For real?! I was about to say that no one fancied him cos he's a midget.

I'm watching the Men's Wheelchair Doubles final, it's fantastic. Such skills. British pair have evened it at 1 set all. Fantastic to watch.

It's amazing isn't it nerfwar. I think the only difference is being allowed two bounces.

Keeping an eye on it too.

I'm on the edge of my seat!!

Yeeessss!! Well done Gordon and Alfie, that match was fantastic! 8-6 in the tiebreak, what drama!

I'm so impressed by the wheelchair tennis! Bit pissed off that they don't hold it on Court #1 though, they deserve the recognition. I know it's a scheduling issue but still.

Ooh here we go, the Women are on the court. Serena walking on in headphones makes her look like a sulky teen.

Afternoon all. Just home in time for the final. Can't say I'm wildly excited though.

Did they mention Angelique at all in the pre match lead up? Or has it been all about Serena?

No, they have focused a fair bit on Angelique. She beat Serena in jan at the Aussie open final and that has been mentioned a lot! Serena doesnt look very happy!

So how will this go?

Currently on the train heading down south with my daughter to our friends house. Afternoon tea tomorrow starts at 12:30 for a few hours so not sure I can quite fit tennis in as well .

Wedding is three weeks today on 30th July 😊

I usually go for the underdog, so I want Kerber to win. But then Serena deserves the 23 titles thingy I suppose.

Did they just say Queen Bey is there? I thought she might go.

John Inverdale is not experienced enough to commentate on a Wimbledon final!

Angie was very lucky to come through her first service game. She really needs to keep serving decently to stand a chance.

I so would not want to be on the other side of the net from Serena. She's awesome. But I want Kerber to win too.

Thanks for answering my question The80s, I'm glad they gave Angelique some air time.

Yes, i thought it was fair coverage of both. Kerber winning Aussie open seemed a shocker to Serena fans i think!
Pretty good for Kerber so far. Seems very windy down there.

"Advantage Miss Williams" pisses me off. It's never "Advantage Mr Murray" it's just "advantage Murray" so why TF can't it be "advantage Williams".

Even in professional tennis we have to declare our marital status to the world. FFS.

Do they say Miss/Ms/Mrs before all the women's names? They don't do they? Maybe it's something Serena has requested?

Was that Janet Jackson in Serena's box? Next to Beyonce?

Oh Juan good point, I don't know. I shall listen.

These are some long volleys.

I think they do, Juan. And I hate it too.

Kerber holding her own so far. Hopefully this will be a good match.

What is with Inverdale commentating, though?

They do at the French Open and Wimbledon, but not always at the Australian and US Open.

Great game from Angie there. Okay, she didn't break, but if she sustains this level of play, it's only a matter of time.

What is it about Inverdale that's so irritating? I think it's the tone of his voice as much as the stupid things he actually says.

That's a bit unfair of me isn't it? He can't help the way he sounds. Still bloody irritating though

Afternoon all.

It's a good match so far. I hope Angie keeps up her fighting spirit in the second set and doesn't fade away.

Inverdale, he really is irritating isn't he? And doesn't know what he's talking about.

I don't mind him as the anchor man/ presenter, but he just isn't experience enough for high level commentating. I prefer him to Castle though.
