Tennis thread: Wimbledon chat this way!

Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

Nick is being a Dick - god I hope he loses!

I think ours is a bit hit and miss kazza but seems to be working today.

Ah shit!

Oh rubbish.

Come on Ned!

I desperately want Kyrgios to lose. When I think of all the players who deserve to be there,and aren't, it annoys me that he is allowed to carry on the way he does.

Why are BBC1 and BBC2 both showing the Kerber match?

Delighted to see Baghdatis looks likely to make the second round, in his last Wimbledon. Will stop John Lloyd moaning about his wild card.

Looks as if Nick’s gone walkabout again - he’s so frustrating to watch and must be really annoying for his opponent. I just hope he goes out - he doesn’t deserve to be playing there.

Hello ..i am tip toeing in please .
I love all your commentry and keep losing you all .
So now i am here!

I've turned over- but looking at the scores- is Dick doing that thing he does, where he basically throws a set to conserve energy, and will come back , all guns blazing in the 5th?

It's a risky tactic- you can't prove they do it- but sometimes you can really tell the players that do it. I do think Monfils does it.

Fizzy I've just seen your comment- exactly as I thought.
It is out and out cheating, imo. It's tanking.

Afternoon bizzey

Come on- from a set with a mammoth tie break- to going 5-0 down in about 15 minutes.

He shouldn't be allowed to continue, since he can't be bothered.
Except he will be bothered- in the 5th.

I really hope he doesn't win after that - it's so obvious what he's up to. And the commentators are still making excuses for him.

Oh is Kyrgios being his usual petulant self? I'm at work so can't watch. I can't bear him. Such a man-child.

I'm so pleased for Baghdatis.

Hi buzzer

bizzey even stupid phone

The commentators don't want Dick to lose, because they want a Rafa match up in the next round. Where they will be delighted to see Rafa lose, no doubt. They are stirring about the pod cast and all that rubbish.

I say it all the time, but I don't get why they keep fawning over him, when there are so many other players who do give a shit, to care about.

I set a piece in the Thiem match- both sets to tie breaks- it's definitely going to be a long one.

It's so annoying. Someone quiet like Keith who just gets on with it barely gets a mention but that idiot gets so much attention.

Jane quite.

The commentators are aware of what Kyrgios is doing but just treat him like a favoured child - grr!

I just think he’s so disrespectful to his opponents and tennis fans - he’s not box office!

Hello Bizzey

Just seen that Thiem has gone one set all - please don’t let Domi go out as well.

I'm dreading the Rafa match (of course he has to win today) already.

Preparing to be flamed but I love Kyrigios..... 💙

He just does not deserve that.

He really doesn't. He shouldn't be allowed to get away with what he does.

The 4th set , Todd, he deliberately threw it.

Me too Raahh

He is a disrespectful prat.

And the commentators know it.
