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

[Raahh]

Thought we would need a new thread soon .

Her English is better than Rafa's bless him.

I love her laugh.

Just caught the end.

Venus is so lovely, so gracious

Garbine is fabulous too

Oops Venus didn't take that comment well!! It wasn't intended to be a dig about age!!

Garbine is gorgeous.

Venus's speech was lovely. She really is elegant and gracious.

And once again how the hell does her eye makeup stay put?!?!

And her hair!! It looks perfect still.

That's a long list Mac!

trixy I know! People used to say it when playing Martina all the time!

Mac looking for excuses is really pissing me off now.

Of course, Conchita beat Martina, in '94 . Probably a similar age gap.

Conchita is yet another 45 year old. A lot of former players sem to be that age.

Same age as me

Me too Raahh. A very fine age to be.

Just watching the wheelchair tennis now. It looks so hard!!

Majestic

Aranxta is too.

And , because I think it's really interesting- the age differences in '94
were almost the same- Conchita was 22, Martina 37. Garbine is 23, Venus 37.

Very disappointed. Well done Venus for being there at all

Trixy is does look hard, but it is fascinating. Was sad to see Gordon lose the other day, but hopefully they will win this.

Totally fascinating. That last point was so exciting!!

I'm just watching Tracy talking to Sue. I'm glad to see Tracy is crediting Garbine with the winning because she played some great tennis at times, unlike Mac who was hell bent on making it all about Venus losing it, which was very disrespectful, imo.

I appreciate Mac was disappointed on Venus's behalf, but still.

ooh, looking good now for Hewett and Reid.

I am 45 too! What is it about that age that draws us all to the tennis?!

You could hear the disappointment in Mac's voice. Bit off to put down Muguruza 's performance though.

Tracy Austin and Chris Everett make me feel every bit of my fat , frumpy 50 something age! tracy looks better now then when she was younger i think. ( i tell myself they are fit as they exercise and can afford 'treatments' but still, it hurts!!) both still very glam.
