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'.

Stan is going to have to start digging a bit deeper. He looked a little lacklustre in the first set.

He's getting better now. And I do love how, even in all white, Stan manages to look a scruff

We don't have those channels magi I don't know why Sky did away with the red button and didn't give us those channels instead.

He looks as if he's just strolled in from a long session at the pub which included more than one pack of pork scratchings.

"Oh shit, just got to pop down the road for a quick game of tennis. Save my seat and no bugger touch my pint."

I have to get to the red button via my Humax box. But you can watch anything online - they have loads of channels there via the BBC website.

Eek looks like Stan could be in trouble. Pleased that Heather Watson went through - sounds like she's had a few problems recently when at match point

Oh dear, Stan...

Stan....Stan....Stan

i really thought this could have been his year.

But well done Daniil. Stan may have an injury, but he's not let it phase him.

Not over yet though...

aww, I think I like Medvedev.

I jusr said that to DH. He reminds me of my sixth formers

Medvedev, not my DH, by the way! Just realised how that could read!

Poor Stan and I didn't get to see him.

Jane I've just worked out how to get the BBC red button channels on Irish Sky!!! I think you have Sky, if not just ignore me.

Anyway, you go to the Services menu, then to Options, then Add Channels, then change the settings to:

Frequency: 12421
Polarisation: H
Symbol Rate: 27.5
FEC: 2/3

Then it searches for a signal and brings up all the red button channels from 2-6 and the HD channel as well.

I am ridiculously happy to have found this, so I had to share

Blimey, that Karlovic/Bedene match was a classic! Only caught the final set!

Well done to Aljaz! Karlovic has been around for so long, though. But has never really got passed being an ace machine.

Oh well done Aljaz indeed!

Well done Alijaz.

So pleased to see Medvevev win - I am not a fan of Stan. How he treated his wife was awful.

I realised that I am old enough to be Medvev's granny (just)

Drama it worked! Thank you so much, you are an angel

Oh good! Glad it worked for you too.

Genie Bouchard is out already not that anyone but me cares blaming an injury. I would love for Raonic to do well, but mostly rooting for Rafa!

Thanks for the thread magi

Alex Ward's mum was lovely and looks great, I thought he was going to say she was 50 not 60!

Delpotro 4-1 up - hope he has a good tournament this year. Alex ward v Kyle Edmund on bbc2 - it's Ward's mum's 60th birthday today - I've seen her being interviewed a few times and she seems very sweet.

Let's see how many hours I can spend on the settee today
