Tennis thread: Wimbledon chat this way!

[PrivateIsles]

Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

Jane now you're just being silly

Sport week sounds a bit OTT Raahh - trust the weather to immediately turn cold. It's rubbish here as well.

Don't come crying on here when the Voice of Doom begins to speak Private

I noticed Clare Balding tried to become the Voice of Doom on Saturday - but I think the final finished so quickly they didn't even have to move the channel in the end (I think!). Anyway good effort by Clare but she's got nothing on the original and best - Sue!!

Raahh I wonder why Djok didn't play Queen's/Eastbourne? Maybe he thinks there was no need for a warm up now that he's winning things again?

They were saying on the podcast that it makes it look like he's not taking Wimbledon seriously, but now that he's appointed Goran it looks like he does mean business after all. Hmm. We'll see!!

35 mins until

I love this man. That voice.

Henman was discussing the roof situation last year -it won't happen this year. Bit bloody late now.

No idea why Djok skipped Queen's but he hasn't always regularly played a warm up match.

Tracey has just alluded to 'The List'.

I can barely watch that semi final - I mean it was so totally brilliant. But how did Rafa not win it???

They are now discussing the seedings and the formula.

Tim really does look like a bank manager.

Private it came down to a couple of points, didn't it?.

He'd have won outdoors, I really think so. Everyone thinks so. You can tell that Mac thought so. Bloody roof.

He would have. I fully believe that!

I see Andy'a doubles is going to be on CC or No1. Because of security concerns.

Imagine if the 15 year old won?

What a bloody surprise that is. .

Security reasons, my bottom. They were never going to put him anywhere else. But who will they bump to fit him in there?

'Sue's Stat of the Day'

2002. Obviously.

Jane there is every possibility. Unless she gets nervous- but sometimes being that young, you don't have nerves.

I wonder if Majestic is there yet? She could stand behind Sue and give us a wave.

"Sage"?! He makes Tsitsipas sound like an old professor or something

Private that's AC for you.

And -guess what- Ash Barty used to play cricket.

I keep forgetting about Muguruza- I really like her. It feels like longer than 2 years since she won though.

Serena’s daughters doll has a twitter account

Yes wondered when they’d mention Ash Barty and the cricket - if we played the shot game (quailes, breaker, box office etc) we’d be drunk pretty quickly

Stop talking and put Stan on !

I'm having to watch on my iPad and I can't find the red button to watch some actual tennis so I'm having to listen to the chat instead...

Fizzy I don't think we would make it to the first match .

Annabel looking lovely as ever. My optician would have a fit though- I always think it when I see her with her sunglasses on her head. That's how you stretch them, love. .

I wonder if Majestic is there yet? She could stand behind Sue and give us a wave.

I'm still on the way unfortunately. Youngest DD was off sick today so I had to swing some emergency childcare arrangements, which delayed me a while. I will hopefully get to see some of Stan's match.

I've found Stan.

I don't want to watch Heather No offence , Heather.

He makes Tsitsipas sound like an old professor to be fair he does come across that way with his philosophical musings on Instagram
