Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

Cripes I need to delete these pictures off my phone in case anyone sees them and thinks I'm obsessed with Dean Gaffney

Could be worse.

Could be a topless picture of AC.

Jane

Is he still in Eastenders? I’ve not seen it for years

Shhhh Raahh you'll wake magi

I don't watch anymore but I saw it a couple of weeks ago and there he was Fizzy

Yes we don’t want to be seeing that picture again!

Jane

I'm watching Milkman v Djere and I really like both of them - Djere is the one who made that v v emotional speech at a tournament about his parents (who had died ) - seems a lovely guy. As does Milkman. So I'm a bit torn.
Anyway Milkman has just taken a two set lead.

Couldn't see much else of interest going on ATM but I might have a bit of a roam around the red button...

Really Jane?

Right I’d better get back to work before I get sacked!

That's right Private he's lovely but I do like Milkman too.

Jane I have loads of random photos like that on my phone (although none of actual Dean Gaffney )

I have to do that teenager thing of being ready to grab my phone if anyone attempts to scroll through my photos

Millman looking good here. Hope he gets through to the 4th round to play... Fabio??

Commentators nicking my train of thought...

It's a weird bit of the draw though.

I'm so used to called him Milkman I find it strange when they use his proper name

Tomic has been fined his whole match fee!! Hurrah!!

Oh that's good Elderflower

We'll done Milkman.

Oh great - Querrey, Isner, Opelka are all still in. I do not like that style of play one bit, and they're all so "dangerous" boring on grass. Just the kind of player who someone who plays nice watchable tennis would lose to. Hope Milkman wins in the next round.

Elderflower yes I saw that - good. It was a bit of a joke, and I really felt for Tsonga - not to mention the paying audience

Apparently Tomic was fined £15 grand in 2017 too for faking an injury and saying he was "fed up of Wimbledon".... 🤔 🤯

I felt for Tsonga- it doesn't help him prepare for his next match, winning like that. No-one wants to win like that, anymore than they want to beat an injured player. it doesn't give a true measure of performance.
In the De Minaur match, the idiot commentator (put in place by Peter Fleming, I think) is trying to stir up that the Rafa match will be one full of 'bad blood' and Kyrgios 'shoulder barging Rafa at the net'.

Fleming rightly pointed out Rafa wouldn't ever stoop so low as to get invloved in rubbish like that.

Also read that Clarke dumped Harriet Dart by text for mixed doubles in favour of young Coco... 😡
Hope Federer thrashes him!

Yes, we saw that 'Elderflower*- and the very best revenge for her , is that she went through her 2nd round singles match earlier. (Which Clarke is unlikely to do!)

(her opponent had the trainer on at one point, but still...)

Good on Peter Fleming. He knows what's what.

Jane he does.

I'm getting worried that matches will take too long. They keep going on about the roof.

Kvitova could be in trouble
