Tennis thread: Wimbledon chat this way!

[PrivateIsles]

Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

An amazing shot from Evans just now.

It'll all make more sense when Rafa is on and we're all chatting about the same match

Although I think I have to go out for a while then

I've got to go and get dd2 in a bit.

Keith seems determined to prove us all wrong on the 5 set marathon match front (That might have more to with the opponent though).

I think Basilasvili went to serve from the wrong corner

Third set tiebreak now.

Dan is saying Allez Dan to himself

Missing tennis while out and about. I thought Evans was cracking on with it - don't let Basilashvili get a set back!

And he's through.

That was some great tennis from Evans.

It means so much to him.

I'm catching up on scores in my car. There was a point at which I wondered if Norrie had retired in the Keith match. I didn't see the last set, but there seemed to be a long gap in points at one stage. Don't know what happened. Keith won it very comfortably though.

Shhhh Raahh you'll wake magi

Hallo - back from a lovely swim & going to settle into some tennis.

Anyone want to see a pic of AC, topless??

No answer, came the stern reply
As my gran would say

Have been reading up about Tomic. He has a lot of history. Walked out of the Oz IACGMOOH three years ago.
He's known as Tomic the Tank Engine because he tanks so often..

Maybe Isner wants to be the first to try out the Isner Rule - he's 5-0 down in the 4th.

Tomic the Tank Engine

Nah you're alright magi

Magi

Right- I am back.

I do not want to have to move again now, but not doubt as soon as the Rafa match starts, my family will demand things.

I was really surprised to see the score in the Isner 4th set.

Come on Kukushkin!

Not looking good for Cilic, he's going to have to go the distance.

In her 'Voice of Doom' Round up, Sue just called Cilic a former champion, I think

(I mean, she didn't specify champion of where)

The thought of that Cilic-Fed final still upsets me. The Wimbledon one I mean.

Actually now I come to think of it, the Aus open as well - roof indeed

I remember Kukushkin playing Rafa in 2014 and winning the first set. It was a bit scary but then Rafa got motoring.
