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

[Raahh]

Thought we would need a new thread soon .

I wish Rod Laver, Martina and Chris (joint 18 GS) had presented the trophy.

His little boy there!

He was lovely about Rafa, to be fair, in Australia. But they are genuinely good friends. But he just sounded condescending then towards Marin.

Anyway 8, sshmate. Wait til you've won it 10.

I think he's okay - hard not to seem patronising sometimes - I suspect he's trying to be nice . But then, I am biased .

Yes he had to say something! Cilic is a lovely man.

Poor Marin, hope he fares better than Rafa and Stan did after their similar final in Australia. If he'd been fit who knows.....
Have to say I didn't watch much after they kept showing cilic distressed.
The finals have been a real damn squib this year and I missed the rest of Wimbledon.

Now Andrew Castle - there's a man who has lots to be embarrassed about! That truly is patronising ...

Andrew Castle obviously learnt from that twatty journo the other day. Federer is the greatest MALE player ever

Poor Marin looks happier now than at any time in the match. I hope he can take the overwhelming positives from this tournament going forward, and not this match.

Lol Raahh, that's what I keep telling the tv/stupid commentators.

Is Andrew still waffling?

DH has just twigged he missed the F1

My tv is on mute 😂

he's found a trowel, and is laying it on thick Raahh

Chris Event's lips

Evert's

Marin has cheered up a bit, possibly relieved.

Yes. Tim and Boris aren't saying anything, I wonder if they've buggered off and left him in the box on his own...

I must mention this in relation to the twins. The boys are called Lenny and Leo. Which is effectively the same name (Leonard). Bizarre. .

I really dislike the Castle.
Please, lets hope his busy next year and cant do the commentary.
Anyway, well done Feds. Feel for his opponent.
Not a classic final.

Yes he's probably waffling on by himself oblivious!

Poor Marin - I also hope this doesn't affect him too much and that he can come back from this

Little yup. Remember thinking that at the time he named them. Very odd. .

I hope Andrew is still talking to himself somewhere, not realising he is all alone. in a dark room.

I wonder if it's a glimpse into a whole world of bizarre behind the scenes in Fedland .

little I also thought that about rogers twin boys - it's odd that they have more or less the same name
