WIMBLEDON PART TWO!!

[JaneJeffer]

I don't know if Raahh is around to start a new thread and I couldn't post on the last one because it's full! Hope you all find this!

Roger can't use his RF logo now except for his shoes because Nike own it.

I had a brief panic when I saw that the last thread was full!

I find it so funny/bizarre that Fed cannot use his own initials, sort of!

And Halep is through.

TheOnly really enjoyed your post about Fed and Rafa. The contrast between them is such a big part of it isn't it, hussle v grace, sweat-free v wet t-shirt contestant, etc. Love it.

But.. oh Marin. I had no idea I wanted him to get to the SF to play Roger so much until today. And I really blame that rain break.

I know who I would like to see face Rog in the semis, but I'm saying nowt, as otherwise I'll curse them forever!

Phew! Thanks Jane for the thread!

I had to go out, and have to out again in a minute.

I hate Thursdays.

TheOnly It's because of the contract withe NIke, the RF logo was part of that, and now he's signed uniqlo one, he can't use it. I'm sure for the money he's getting he will get over it .

Did you see the picture of ROger in his Sesame street t-shirt yesterday? That was funny. Bert and Ernie. .
I'm still sad about Marin.

I also find Jo Konta's service action odd (was it Book who said that last thread).

Boris is so funny.

did any one hear Martina last night about Konta - she's too uptight it seems, and maybe should have a little nip ( I assume she means alcohol) to loosen her up :) - she is so incredibly serious /precious about it all
I tried to post too, I agree with TheOnly - he is a bit poetry in motion :) ( if you are old enough, you will now have that rather rubbish song in your head ...)

I merrily typed a comment and then couldn't post because the thread was full aswell.
I can't watch Konta because of her service action. Similarly, I don't like watching those who bounce the ball 200 times before serving, even a second serve Yes, I'm looking at you Novak, Rafa and Marin! Can't believe he's gone out!!!!

DS and I are off to swelter on No 2 court tomorrow. If it gets too hot, I may have to have the odd Pimms to call me down and get three or four of my five a day, so win win We actually have access to the British Tennis members suite, so that's lunch and afternoon tea sorted!

*cool me down. Bloody auto correct!

ooh - my phone now informs the Delpo watch is due to start.

Bit torn on this , as I like Feli as well. But erring towards Delpo for the win.

That sounds lovely kazza

I didn't hear that book but I love Martina and if she said it then she's right

Have a great time kazza!

I am not keen on Konta anyway. Over hyped a bit I think. And I think Cibulkova deserves her wins , purely because of Serena-seed gate.

Halep has just won convincingly.

As predicted, Johanna is finding Dominika a tough competitor. I love Johannas serve routine - she's like an orchestral conductor. And her little skip steps. And Domi has a similarly unique service and also does a little skip as she turns back to play. Which reminds me that one reason I find Nole OK is his imitations of other players which are very funny. I wonder if he's done Johanna yet.

PS Glad there's a little bit of Roger love coming through!

i am enjoying listening to Judy Murray on the radio. I wish they had her on the tv. Far less annoying than some.

Hah, the full thread caught me out too. Thanks for the new thread, Jane.

Sensibly I copied my attempted post.

I like watching Federer play too, and I also love watching Mirka watching him. Plus their children are adorable.

I'm an unabashed Andy fan (missing him this year). But I don't like Djokovic at all and can take or leave Rafa the Polar Bear / Capybara.

Topsy turvy match between Shagpalov and Paire.

Joining in after lurking on the last thread!

I really like Jo; I like that she’s unashamedly ambitious without being arrogant. She’s professional, and she’s gracious in her post-match interviews. But barring a miracle, I think she’s about to be a goner...

Another Roger fan here too, ferrier

I want to know what Jo was upset about in the match - she was having a good old grumble to the umpire.

But Cibulkova (sp?) played amazingly - she really deserved that win.

Hi cel

I'm waiting for a delayed train home from work, watching the scores on the Wimbledon app (which is blooming brilliant I think). A far cry from ringing my dad from a phone box to find out the scores like back in the old days! I'd still rather be watching though.

No surprise for Konta there - that was a tough draw as Cibulkova should have been seeded. I like Cibulkova though. Her match against Radwanska at Wimbledon 2-3 years ago was one of the best matches I've ever seen. And she's "diminutive"

Oh no my battery is about to go flat!!

private yes, shes 5ft 2, according to Judy.

which is positively giant, as far as I'm concerned

I had no idea there was a Wimbledon app! Have just installed it - thanks for the tip

Cibulkova was so impressive there, no question that she deserved the win. But I’m sorry to see Jo go.

Sam has just just had someone serve balm right at her bum.Ouch!
Juan has taken the first set.
