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'.

looked very solid, agree Grouchy
I want Rafa to put the poor guy out of his misery though ...

Well done Jo !

I have to say, Castle is actually being o.k today, (for him)maybe someone had words about the constant listing of Rafa's losses in the previous rounds!

Sue - the Channel changing Voice of Doom has spoken...

And we all hate Inverdale. We aren't even sure why he has a job .

Hi Qui another Rafa supporter here, there's a lot of us about but we are very forgiving to those who can't see that he's the best

Venus is probably glad to have something to concentrate on and take her mind off things.

Vamos, Rafa! I need him to do this in three - I can't cope with Rafa-stress at this early stage.

Only this does need to be easy, I want him in the second week without any niggles. He ought to face Muller next, who has form on grass, but it should be o.k

Even if he some how blows this set, I'm not worried he will lose the match.

Nice story about Jack Sock www.independent.co.uk/sport/tennis/wimbledon/wimbledon-2017-live-jack-sock-towel-young-fan-jerk-old-man-a7826306.html

Creme glad you got the telly sorted.

I saw that the other day jane what an idiot the bloke was, arguing with the kid.

He also tweeted that he has written 'Bethanie Mattek-Sands' on his shoes- they were doubles partners. I'm not sure if they weredue to play together this year, he's playing with Madison Keys today (losy in the singles).

Jack Sock is one of my favourite tennis player names.

It's up there with Mardy Fish

This is not meant to be happening. Vamos Nadal! I hate tie break, though.

A tie-break will be v. dangerous with this Khachanov. He's hitting some great shots, and could well take this third set on a tie-break.

Ah that's nice. I hope she is ok.

Rafa looks like he wants to get this done quickly.

What has happened to Nadal's forehand?!?

I am warming to Tim as a commentator. Nice and calm, not so sycophantic as Castle.

We noticed Andrew I could watch that slow mo all day!

Tim is a vast improvement on listening to Inverdale or Petchey.

Who would be waffling about time between points all the way through the match.

Vamos!

Yay!!!

Whoop!

Hopefully, one day, Andrew will learn how to pronounce Karen's surname.

Aww, look at his face,and he's not rushing to put his shirt on

I need a cold shower...

wrapped up in time for tea - he was a good lad Raahh

Rafa will be number one , if Murray loses today, and Rafa wins on Monday. If Murray were to lose today, Rafa would only be 15 points behind him.

Mac and Boris

I missed the beginning of the chat. Has anyone mentioned Hips??

Ooh Foggy is looking good.
