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'.

Well done to Konta - was a bit worried that the weight of expectation might get too much for her but she did well.

Where is Rafa? Can't even find him on the red button - I blame sue barker!

I don't think its started yet Fizzy

just checked on the web they are just knocking up by looks

Woah! Halep has raced through set 2!

Yes sorry I'm just being impatient.

Trixy have you tried the Wimbledon app if you can download apps? I think it has live scores but not sure if it is any quicker than the one you're using already.

Bbc breaking their necks to put Murray on bbc one! How dare a womans match be on bbc one.
Well done Konta. She is dead posh, could give Kate Middleton a run for her money in the posh voice stakes.
I wonder why she ditched playing for Australia?
Lots of shrieking from Azarenka and Halep.

I like halep. I'm really glad she is through.

Where is the Rafa match?? It has started and is none of the channels.

Thanks Fizzy, but i was looking more for a website as I'm at work. I have always had the slamtracker in the corner of my screen every other year, but it just doesn't seem to be refreshing this year for some reason. I'm looking for something similar.

I like Halep too.

Andy losing his focus somewhat now.

Oh, Mr Beard might have hurt his knee.

Rafa bumped his head on the door frame

Rafa has a lovely smile and im not a big fan really. He hit his head on the way out jumping around.
He is now on bbc 2.

Boris seems very broody. He's always commenting on the children.

I hope Beardoit, as I shall now call him , is ok. I want Murray to have to fight for the match.

They have finally out Rafa on Bbc2.

Just found Rafa on the red button - going with serve so far

trixy use Flashscore

Poor Rafa bumping his head -ouch! Muller's broken his serve - eek

Muller was always going to be a difficult opponent.

Not panicking yet.

Come on Rafa!

The Murray game is just weird. I can't even bear to watch.

Wow - Murray's umpire just screwed up spectacularly!

As the first 'grass' player he has faced, it's not surprising he has lost the set, he might need get time to get to grips with Muller's game. Gilles also has a big serve.

Good to see him coming in more.

People keep ringing me.

Bastards.

Vamos

Elsewhere, Raonic is playing Zverev , the younger . A match, ordinarily, I would have liked to have been watching.

That was in incredible rally- the last point was so very close.

Vamos!

Rafa seems to have settled down a bit now.

Thiem/berdych also playing - too many good matches today. Cilic also quietly through to next round.

Come on Rafa!
