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'.

*she
I really need a new keyboard!

Bedene is 2 sets down to Muller now. I thought Alijaz might do better. But Muller is no slouch, being one of the top 10 most famous Luxembourgers. Or something.

Great stuff from Heather in this first set. I'm delighted.

Who knew about rafa!

Good first set from Heather.

And why oh why is Azarenka making all that bloody noise?! Drives me mad

I've got it on mute now. Which is a shame because I love the sound of the tennis itself. But Azarenka sounds ridiculous.

Shame to see Heather get broken. Hope she can come back from it.

I've probably watched as much women's as men's so far. Some of the women's have been brilliant - did anyone see the Kerber/Flipkens match last night? It was fantastic, so entertaining and really close.

Oh dear oh dear

Hope heather can come back

That will be a bit of a psychologically difficult set. Hope she can bounce back in the third.

Bautista- Agut has just beaten Nishikori. I like Bustagut. And he's having such a good year.

Hooray for Bustagut, but what a shame for Heather. I thought she could have won that. I'm pleased for Vika, though. I like when women come back from having a baby and do well.

right ,
lunch visitors have just left , luckily just in time for Rafa :)

It's raining here. Waited until the school run.
Oh bollocks- it's Andrew Castle.

The penny has just dropped that there's no Marion Bartoli commentating. Much prefer Kim C

I have to go out at 7pm. I need this to be finished before that. Thank you.

If Castle doesn't settle on a pronunciation of Khachanov , I will throw things at the tv.

I'm watching Jo. They've given us John Inverdale and Tracy Austin. Oy.

keep us posted Grouchy - may switch over if it looks good :)

Oh, aren't you lucky Grouchy . Can't abide Tracy , and my feelings on John are well known

Jo broke Sakkari in the first game, and nearly did again in the third.

It's shame about Heather. But I'm chuffed for Azarenka, really, even if she needs a gag.

Rafa broken- but I'm not panicking yet

I have to go out at 7pm. I need this to be finished before that. - Rafa is listening to you !- - he got it back

See? no need to panic .Broken back.

book he's a good lad.
