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 has whizzed through the first set.

I remember him sweating once - not sure if it was last year or the year before - he was doing a post match interview and it was very hot - even he seemed to be shocked by it!

He is a very elegant player.

Wimbledon can be very old fashioned ThOnly.

They were talking on the radio about changing the time of the men’s final if England got to the World Cup final as they’re on at about the same time. The upshot was that it would be more likely for fifa to change the time of the World Cup final than the all England club messing with tradition.

Watching Pliskova. First set Buzarnescu PhD - now into second set tie break. Pliskova looking pretty good now...

Private I got side tracked by yet more phone calls- and am now watching the Mannarino/Medvedev match. Very even match this one.

But I'm distracted by Daniil''s very big feet. (He is quite gangly, emphasises how big they are).

Aww, Mannarino just gave his towel to a woman sat at the side of the court as he left. She looked utterly delighted

He's my new Friday night favourite .

Just sat down and turned on to watch Roger . I don't think he's going to need to be on court for long by looks ...

Nadal and Edmunds / Djokovic 😁😁🙌🏻🙌🏻

Raonic match has just started.

As ever, one of the hightlights of a Milos match is seeing a glimpse of Goran.

I like Goran's silver fox look...

The commentator (not sure who it is) just described Novak as "nimble". Lovely, under-used word.

nimble

That used to be a type of bread, didn't it? Had an advert with a hot air balloon?

Milos does seem to be coming in to net more, do you think Raahh?

Hahaha yes! My grandma used to get it - totally forgot about that

I think he does private.

I think the Wallace and Grommit 'Matter of loaf and death ' short is based on Nimble - the bake-a-lite girl or something.

I need to get out more.

Chung is indeed still injured. A shame as I was enjoying his rise to prominence.

I'm afraid I'm in the anti-Goran camp too! For a start he's one of those boring serve dominated players. I has the misfortune to be present at the men's finals in the year they he played Sampras. Dull dull dull.
And secondly he lucked out to beat Timmy in that semi-final.

Federer is looking cool calm and collected still (firmly crossing fingers).

Oh yes - I think we have that on dvd somewhere!

Mmmm, Goran. I'll continue to lust after him.

He has definitely aged very well. He is cheering me up, after what turned out to be another rubbish day.

And- going back to the perving we were doing yesterday, he is about 3 months older than me, so for once, it's age -appropriate ogling .

I wonder if Mackenzie Macdonald's family is proud of their Scottish heritage.

A shame the lovely Pella is out, but well done that lad.

I am mesmerised by the chair umpire's accent in the Raonic match.

*McDonald, sorry. Must get that correct.

I'm struggling to place his accent, Grouchy .

Raonic is struggling- and I'm not that surprised. But come on, MIlos!

It is a shame about Pella.

Tim is just commenting on how the top half really doesn't have many top contenders left.

Milos keeps coming to the net, and messing up

Ah that is a shame about Pella, I prefer it when giant-killers back up their big win, or it's a bit of a let-down.

This ump does have an unusual accent, I agree!

They are not going to finish this tonight, are they?

The giant killers so rarely do, though.

I'm not sure it will finish tonight. The Zverev match seemed to go in not much later last night .
