TENNIS THREAD- WIMBLEDON 2017 : Week 2 -quarter finals, semi finals and beyond...

[Raahh]

Thought we would need a new thread soon .

I do love the beards in the Berdych box. .

This is a bit disappointing. Not at all surprising. Berdych just doesn't have quite enough ammunition to threaten Fed.

The first two sets were very close, it's a shame it will end like this.

I hope Marin can put up a good match on Sunday.

Well done Roger. Berdych did try his best.

Yes! - sorry for Berdych, he really tried , just not quite good enough

Now- if Cilic wins- he goes ahead of Roger by 130 points

If Roger wins, he moves up to 3rd.

Not bad going when he started the year at19th or something. I never saw this coming in January.

Well, we're happy in this house. My second favourite possible draw for the final (dream final would be Nadal v Fed).

And...without making anyone jealous....ds got tickets in the draw...

Lucky ds!! Sitting. Rafa in the final would have been amazing. I'm not without hope that he will be in a slam final again though. Where Rafa is concerned I'm ever the optimist. . Worked this year!

I'm happy for Marin though.

Looking forward to tomorrow- really want Muguruza to win.

This fortnight suddenly seems to have gone very quickly.

Wow well done to your DS - I am a bit - hope he has a great day.

Hope it's a good final would like to see Cilic win but also like Roger

Hope that Cilic doesn't get overwhelmed by the occasion - he has won a grand slam before though but not against Federer

Is ds taking you with him Sitting?

I'm watching Heather & Kontinen. It's fun stuff. Kontinen makes the best expressions when he hits a crappy shot.

My house is upside-down after all this tennis! I'll have no excuse next week.

So in the mixed doubles final, Murray either gets to play the only othr Brit in the tournament, or his doubles partner.

I am so sad I am going away on Sunday and will miss the finals!

I am loving the mixed doubles!

The mixed doubles are great! Particularly as both the men's and women's semis have been boring.

He is indeed.

Well, I paid for them. And I pay for his tennis lessons, and spend many hours at tournaments, so I think I deserve a ticket!

Mixed is great they seem happy, like they are playing a game rather than the battles that go on in the singles.

Am also loving the mixed doubles - such joy in the playing.

Onlylivingboy - you didn't organise things well........... to miss Sunday!

I am off on Monday to see PFGC - precious as she is I wouldn't miss Wimbledon for her!!

Just watched the highlights of the mixed doubles. Looks like a couple of amazing matches.Whatever happens we get a British champion!! Is the final played on Sunday?

Magi

magi - bet you can't wait to see her :)

Caught up with the mixed doubles late last night. Really good fun, I wish I'd seen the match Kim Clijsters was in, saw some clips and it looked very entertaining.

Hope both the finals are competitive although there seems to be a sense of inevitability about who will win in both matches!

I'm hopeful tomorrow will be competitive, Cilic came very close against Roger at Wimbledon last year, and completely outplayed him at the US Open 2014, so he's not afraid to play him on the big stage. The crowd will be very pro Roger though, I think.

Garbine's has not had the best 12 months since winning RG, so I hope the pressure of the occasion doesn't get to her. I like Venus, in so much as she's preferable to her sister, but it's time someone else won.

So Vamos !!

How bloody annoying is the BBC's coverage of Wimbledon?!?!

Just been trying to catch up on some of the matches I missed yesterday on iplayer and the chopping and changing between matches and channels is totally infuriating!!

Is there anywhere that I can find a whole match to catch up on? Specifically the mixed doubles.

I remember rainy wimbledons, finals held on a Monday, cliff singing and old grainy re runs of Borg and Arthur ashe, mac etc with such short shorts on! Dan maskell and his ' oh, I say' commentary. Happy days ! Now there's a roof they hate using! Lol

I know Trixy, very annoying! I'd found the Watson match and set to record. Watching later, they kept switching to the Murray doubles. Not bad as they were both great matches but a bit annoying!
