TENNIS THREAD - Wimbledon starts tomorrow!!

[magimedi]

Am most excited & thought the grass needs a new thread.

I'll stick my neck out & say Fed to win the mens' & Carolina Plisshkova (sp?) for the womens'.

Poor Bethanie, it all sounds horrific.

I'm a bit worried about Raonic.

Tomic has lost his sponsor, Head, after admitting that he only got the trainer out to delay things in his match. I'm quite sure he's not the only player who does this. But he's the first to blatantly admit it.

well, can settle to watch Federer now

I am in awe of the fact that Federer's Nike kit has his RF trademark on it as well - imagine being such a powerful sportsman that Nike make shirts and shorts just for you.

Unless it's like DS's sports kit where you order the bog standard stuff and then pay extra to have the initials put on it

Have never seen Lajovic before but am impressed with how he's holiding his nerve.

I've never seen Lajovic before but he seems to be doing well so far.

Maybe Mirka irons Roger's transfers on! Or maybe not - she looks like she doesn't take any nonsense (just ask Stan!)

I like Rafa's - it has the bull's horn logo from his academy on his sleeve.

Far better than when Novak had his face on his shoes

I'm sticking with Milos, who is struggling to get the ball over the net.

And there is no way Mirka would let Roger leave the house un-ironed. Or without a hankie.

hardly broken sweat there ...

Don't forget the cardigan. Nicely buttoned up.

And the mysterious hip conspiracy deepens...

Mannarino enters the fray managing to get a code violation which is somehow the fault of his hip

This Wimbledon is getting weirder and weirder..

I remember seeing Djokovic's family on tv at the US Open years ago and they were wearing t-shirts with his face on - very scary! I bet he made them wear them.

Liking the lady's roger federer earrings and her Rogerholics Anonymous badge!

Wimbledon is very odd indeed. Hips don't lie. Shakira sang about it.

Mannarino must have massive hips

Hmm shakira and Rafa in THAT video

Lucky woman.

Lucky woman indeed

Just putting this here - in case you're reading this thread, Sue, and are getting confused about whether Rafa is actually just a bit of a loser...

am I the only one watching Roger?

Milos is through. Bit scrappy though.

Raonic appeared to be carrying his trainers in a Hessian Tesco bag for life. It might not have been, but would be funny if it was.

I'm watching Roger but it's not the most exciting match, although Lajovic is putting up a sterling fight.

So I'm spicing it up with a dash of Rafa for you all. You're welcome

Love the Rafa pictures only.

I have now turned over to the Roger match.it seems to be going fairly smoothly.

Maybe it's the bag Rafa got his Diet Coke in at the Tesco Express?

Its all very smooth for Roger - poor Lajovic is trying hard

I'm not keen on the buttons bit of Rogers top, a couple of them have it. Reminds me of the top half of long John's. Would it be described as a grandad collar?

I was watching Roger, books, but then it was Bedtime, and that's currently a massive nightmare with DD1. [sigh]

Back to watch the (I assume) final set.

Gosh. Those stills from the Shakira song. Who knew.

only could be. The local Tesco express might be very popular.
