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

[Raahh]

Thought we would need a new thread soon .

I'd love to see Roger play mixed doubles here with Martina before he retires.

Bring

He's got dirt on someone, that's for sure.

The way he talks between points is just one of the many reasons I despise the git.

When someone said they liked the Sam smith commentating, I got confused with Stan smith and then I thought she was the one with the Adidas trainers and my brain was going 'huhhhhh?!' until Google helped me out

And she's not Sam Smith the singer either. Cos he's a he. And probably would be terrible at commentating.

this is way more exciting than the rather flat men's final. That seemed so flat

Jane I've never heard Jamie Murray commentate. Are you maybe thinking of Jamie Baker?

Come On, Heather and Henri!

ooh, shot!

Raahh he might sing his response to the match.

Sue , in the manner of a Bond theme.

Couldn't be worse than the Mac/Boris/Pat thing about Federer earlier!

Come on Heather!

Raahh I missed that fortunately!

You were very fortunate sue I'm still traumatised by it!

WHO is the guy who sits in the players box for multiple players? Black hat and suit.

DO NOT look it up -Sue it is the thing of nightmares.

This is disappointing.

Come on Heather.

It's been a weekend of pretty disappointing finals- even though Garbine was my pick for the title (if it wasn't to be Halep).

It's been a strange tournament really- lots of injuries, players withdrawing/retiring.

Rafa's match against Muller is my pick of the tournament, even if it wasn't the result I wanted. It was a fantastic match from both of them.

And now it's nearly over

But not long to Montreal- which Rafa will be fit to play in this year, hopefully. And Cincinatti, before the US Open.

Fizzy

Oh

This man? Me and DH researched him a couple of years ago after wondering too... I love seeing him.

Agree about Rafa Muller match. Epic.

Yep Rafa/Mullet the match of the tournament. Stunning.

Thanks Bring!! Been niggling at me for a few years!

Yes Rafa v Muller was fantastic.

I also joined Konta against Halep and Rybarikova was great to watch.

*enjoyed! I did not help Konta out in her match...

Sorry to be mean but the Duke is a spitting image puppet made flesh...

AmI I'm sure he did some for one of the channels but I've had a Google now and can't find it! Maybe I dreamt it. I like Jamie Baker as well - I loved in the middle of the Rafa/Muller battle when he said it's quite a good match this!

Oh fuck off Inverdale. We will be going to work. You will probably be out of work with any luck.

After the 'now all bugger off home' tannoy announcement to the crowds, I wanted them to play the BBC theme tune to the court.

They will play that in a bit, and I will feel teary.

I hate blue Monday.

Why do they keep asking about next year??

Piss off! They do have other tournaments to play you know- Wimbledon is not the centre of the universe,.
