Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

Well Jay Clarke has definitely gone down in my estimation too- they had a pretty good partnership.

I hope he doesn't lose too badly today then

And yes, I thought the same about the scheduling- I did check to see where Barty played her first match. Ok, she played that one on Court 1- but even so. She is the new world number 1. Despite the bias towards Serena still- I think she has a real shot at the title, in singles and doubles
And yes, crap way to treat Kerber. They would never , ever do it Federer. Iirc, when they put him on court 1 last year, it was the first time in years. When was the last time they put him anywhere near 2?!

Private Kyrgios! Oh dear!

Barty doing well. As is Sloane Stephens.

I'm also very glad to see that Mahut is playing well with his new doubles partner, Roger-Vasselin.

Oh dear- I got Serena

I did laugh at the 'Charlie Dimmock' suggestion for guest in the Royal Box.

Me too Raahh

Harriet might get some revenge, in that she seems to be doing well in her singles match at the moment, and could make the 3rd round (fingers crossed she does).

what "personality" would that answer lead to, I wonder?!

I might have to try the quiz again

Yes good for Mahut. Imagine if they won the title?!

"A precise portion of protein followed by mental visualisation exercise" we all know who this would be.

I put in a bunch of random answers, and then Charlie- and got

Roger!

Which hilariously has this description-

Roger Federer

Never a hair out of place, never a bead of sweat expended. Excellence comes effortlessly, but could it all be just a little, whisper it quietly, dull?

Ooh Sue better not see that

Private I absolutely hope that Mahut does win the title!

Shame on Wimbledon for not giving him a singles wild card, and PHH for dumping him to concentrate on singles, natch , I say.

Jane

It's quite addictive that quiz.

well done Ash!

Still wearing the earrings I like .

I want to be Ash Barty's mate. She seems like someone who would a lot of fun to be around.

Can't think which Cock you mean Jane

I got Federer aswell Raahh although I wanted David Gandy in my box not a euphemism

"mental visualisation exercise"

Come on, Harriet, I shall have no nails left at this rate.

I'm watching Milkman. I hope he goes through and the Aussies could do with some decent representation

You do realise David Gandy looks like Dean Gaffney kazza

I am Roger apparently!

I put in a dozen different combinations and kept getting Serena.
I think I love whoever wrote the player descriptions.
I have yet to get Djok, or Rafa, but they must be an option, especially with the watch and food questions?

(Am I taking it too seriously?)

kazza

Don't be ridiculous Jane
