Wimbledon 2016: Week Two.

[GrouchyKiwi]

Boring title; hope the tennis is better!

it is a bit too grey, really

Raonic's serve/volley game is really good, and makes a match that could have been serve dominated far more interesting.

The Stepanek/Bryan doubles was great. Enjoyed the Cibulkova match but she did look knackered. Can't see anyone beating Serena again, which is really boring as some of the other ladies matches were brilliant. Shame Kuznetsova couldn't challenge her more during their match.

Forget that the Murray match was on later today - we'll be at my brother's (he broke up with partner and is in a new place without good wifi and no to! Although we are taking an old tv of ours for him to keep). Looks like I'll be catching up late night or tomorrow.

Grouchy you must be exhausted after friend and 5 kids! Hope you get a nap later on.

Raahh do we get a pic of Ike's snazzy new haircut?!

This rather looks like Cilic's match.

Bagel- poor Ike. He looks less like a schnauzer and more like a grey bambi. If I can get him to stand still, I will try to get a picture. Hopefully he will stop getting caught in bushes. He will never grow a decent beard at this rate

And the phone I got repaired yesterday- now has a smashed screen, after Ike jumped on the sofa, and knocked it on to the rug. The RUG!

I'm not having a good week.

Grey bambi

How on earth did the dog/rug combination manage to smash a screen? Weird

Juan Sleep is all over the place. If the baby has a good night then DD2 decides to have a bad one! I am permanently tired.

Bagel Nap didn't work out; someone called me and when I answered the phone they didn't talk. Could hear them tapping away on their keyboard, though.

Relaxing day today so should get plenty of tennis watched.

If a Williams' sister must win, I hope it's Venus.

Cilic is not letting the occasion get to him, which is good.

Inverdale continues to piss me off-he has just said (of the court 1 crowd)- they might be disappointed they haven't got the murray or Federer match.

Piss off. Maybe they want to watch Raonic, or even Pouille?! They might all be massive Berdych fans. Mung bean.

Mung bean.

Bagel I'm only assuming there must be something under the rug that it hit? I dropped the old one dozens of times- never even scratched it , til it got rained on!

I'd love to see any of the matches on No 1! It's often more exciting to see someone like Pouille who's more of an unknown factor.

The adoration of Murray is understandable but it completely underestimates the enjoyment of all kinds of tennis by the fans.

Bagel exactly. I mourn the old days when I could happily support Stefan, and no-one questioned why I wasn't a fan of Jeremy Bates!

and we didn't get annoying videos of Bates every other game either

I'm only 4f 8. If they did make the net higher, I'd be screwed. (Actually, I can't play at all anywayIt might as well be badminton).

The scores on the 2 matches are almost mirroring each other.

Here are 2 pictures of Ike- one at Christmas-ish, and the other yesterday.

Hopefully he will stop getting himself entangled in rubbish, and he will soon look normal. He does look funny. Imiss his beard- but it grows really quickly. Fortunately!

I must say, no-one can say Federer is losing this- Cilic is playing extremely well.

He's very handsome, Raahh.

Thank's Grouchy. He's lovely, if a bit daft.

He's mesmerised by the tennis.

Arghhh. Bloody school run.

both of these matches could be over by the time I get back.

What an adorable dog Raahh

I'm stuck at work about to go into a round of meetings and then my leaving drinks so no more tennis for me today

That set seemed to happen rather quickly. Keep up the momentum please Federer

There are times I am glad I work from home. This is one of those times

That was a quick set, wasn't it!

Querrey has a set too- could it all be about to change??

This is one of the things I love about sport: the changing of momentum, the ebb and flow of fortunes.

Eek, eek, eek.

Yes! Go Raonic!
