Tennis Thread- WIMBLEDON PART 3 - New balls! (of the small fluffy yellow kind)

[Raahh]

New fred before we run out.

Have you read what Inverdale said about Azarenka during her match yesterday??

Apparently he said 'Azarenka's second serve- woof!'

Azarenka said when she heard the commentary that is was 'comical- and not in a good way' and that she had no idea what he meant by the comment, but it was horrendous.

He hasn't learnt over the years , has he. Sexist prat.

So they are definitely putting the roof on What about the "outdoor tournament" philosophy? I bet Novak wanted it on. Rafa in 27C heat is a much tougher challenge!

Btw after the Anderson-Isner match yesterday the umpire got a massive round of applause at the end - not sure if it was on TV, but it was great that she was appreciated - almost 7hrs in the chair!! And no break!! She must be superhuman as well

I'm annoyed about the roof thing. On the fb page it said it was 'tradition' to continue the play under the previous conditions.

The roof has only been there about 7 years - so that's hardly tradition is it?

I've spent the morning nervous cleaning so at least my kitchen looks a bit better now. Vamos Rafa!!

Wow I love Boris' lavender !!

Sue called it a one set shoot out too.

I love Tim and Boris commentating, they are funny together. Lots of banter.

Boris has said Kevin is still alive

The honour is all yours Andrew.

What did we do to deserve AC?

Isn't it lovely for Kate to have Megan to hang out with now.

So why did they go with Djok's decision?

They will open it for the women, surely?

Vamos Rafa!

sensibly dressed in a comfy blouse too :)

Afternoon all.

what Interesting times ahead!

Meghan and Kate look very summery.

I can see both sides of the roof thing so I'm firmly squidged upon the fence.

Oof.

I think Rafa is a bit nervous.

I don't think it's fair. It's meant to be an outdoor tournament.

Well played Rafa.

The Duchesses looked like they are happy to be there, don't they. Some social engagements less draggy than others!

AC seriously thinks he could give Rafa ideas for tactics?! Dream on.

But why go with what Novak wanted? I need answers!!

Glad he held his serve there.

I think it should be outside - if it rains and then is sunny then the roof comes off doesn’t it? Although is it because it started with the roof on?

Ha!!

Come on!!!!

I’m not sure why the want of one player dominated although maybe they tossed a coin
