Tennis thread: Wimbledon chat this way!

[PrivateIsles]

Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

I did like Kudla- don't know about Djok, but Denis probably made himself some fans.

I see that Kevin beat Tipsarevic.
I'm sure the seedings committee is breathing a sigh of relief that his elevation has worked out well so far. Only Keith left in that he vaulted over, isn't there?

Gauff has only just started her match now. Another one to finish under the roof perhaps, unless they're quick.

kazza yes , Tim and his mates are being proved right.

It makes me even more nervous for tomorrow- I can't bear the whole 'well, we always knew there was a good reason to knock Rafa down in the seedings' if it goes the wrong way.

The Shroud
He's the spitting image of it!!

He really was , wasn't he?

kazza yes no doubt re the seeding committee! I suppose I'll have to eat my words if he makes the semis

I love Brideshead as well. I remember my mum dragging us to Castle Howard to marvel at the very place where it was filmed

I've got a copy of the book somewhere with Jeremy Irons and ? Was it Simon Ward?

So I'm watching Gauff now - and it has suddenly struck me, watching her opponent getting peeved when things don't go her way, that I NEVER stick my tongue out. She keeps sticking her tongue out of the corner of her mouth when she's annoyed. It's like Miley Cyrus in a tennis dress.

Anthony Andrews - had to Google. I must have been thinking of the All Creatures Great and Small film

I was in love with Anthony Andrews in it. He was so haunted.

It's like Miley Cyrus in a tennis dress. Sounds like a line from one of The Killers songs

Yes, Anthony Andrews, Jeremy Irons, Diana Quick, Claire Bloom and Larry, dear dear Larry, Sir Laurence Olivier, if I remember correctly. Classic drama.

Do they keep calling Cori Gauff Coco or am I mishearing it?

My Coco is her nickname.

Her name is Cori but she's known as Coco.
Don't know why.

Her mother looks so young!

Coco Gauff could definitely teach a certain someone (who the commentators still insist on treating like a teenager) how to let your racquet do the talking.

Such confidence. I would have been hiding in a corner when I was that age and also still at the age of 50.

well, I enjoyed watching Cori Gauff - it didn't even look as if she had nerves , just sheer focus on winning

Look at Mac counting the minutes on his fingers

Such a confident talented young athlete! Amazing show by Coco

Clare is very matchy matchy tonight.

Kyle Edmund isn't the most dynamic person is he?

I think he was just pissed off with the questions My. He seems a very chilled type of person.
