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

[Raahh]

Thought we would need a new thread soon .

Andrew having to comment on the grass, because he's crap at commenting on the actual action.

Still it could be worse, could be Inverdale. And we have Boris.

I wish Cilic didn't bounce the ball quite so much when preparing to serve

Boris is right- I don't know what the obsession with the court is this year. It always looks worn by the end .

Unless the state of the court is another of the reasons Mac thinks Venus lost?

Inverdale

They wouldn't bloody dare!

Ooo- come on Marin!!

I think the court does look worse than usual this year.

gosh, a bit of a nervy serve game there

I've just had a thought.

I hope it doesn't rain. They might play that awful singing thing again whilst they shut the roof

As if Wimbledon would allow Inverdale to comment on the Wimbledon final!

I was thrilled to hear David Mercer do the ladies' doubles final last night. That was the first time I heard him this year. He and Barry Davies are the last of the old-school commentators. I loved John Barrett and of course, Dan Maskell.

Oh poo- Come on Marin!

2 double faults from Roger already is a bit of a shock. Definitely nervous.

The end of the F1 race was amazing and I am a very, very happy fan right now.

Will switch to the tennis after the podium.

Why is Mrs F wearing a wedding dress?

Gerald Williams, one of the commentators that used to annoy me actually died last year. I was quite sad to hear it, and it didn't get mentioned during Wimbledon, iirc.

Oh, first blood Roger.

Oh crap - I switch to the grand prix for a minute and that happens. Come on Marin.

yes!! go Roger!

oh the lovely Dan Maskell- "a heavily disguised lob" always made me smile

Mirka has a style all of her own. I don't think she cares. She doesn't dress like any of the other tennis 'wags'. I like that about her.

bring! Please don't rain I don't want to see the singing again - will give me nightmares.

Come on Marin or whatever it is in Croatian

Come on Cilic!!!

oh, Marin! Come on!!

I thought being kind of impartial would be easy, but I really want him to win!

oh the lovely Dan Maskell The Dan Maskell who said that Princess Anne was the best returner of serve he had ever seen

am I the only Roger fan here? I thought they were both settling down, but too many errors so far

Grrrr! Annette. I was meant to Mrs Edberg.
