Tennis thread: Wimbledon chat this way!

[PrivateIsles]

Happy Wimbledon Eve* everyone!

With thanks to magi*

Konta is a set up.

I know- the Melbourne roof one was particularly off.I think he'd have won it, in the sun. The Blisters at Wimbledon were very sad.

Kukushkin has got his own fan club courtside wearing "Kukushkin" t-shirts!

I might join them if he wins this

Yes poor Cilic has bad luck doesn't he.

Jane- it's all gone pear shaped since he won at Queen's last year.

(and Carol had him flossing on Breakfast telly)

I feel for Federer-it must be strange not having the crowd behind him. Then I think of his millions and the career he's had and I don't feel that sorry for him! I'm a huge Federer fan and would love to see him win it again.

I'm sure his fan club is there My

Poor Marin

Cilic

Come on kukushkin!

I’m hoping to be home soon to watch Rafa - I’ve told DS that he’s got to get the bus home (mean Mum!)

Yay! Kukushkin.

So, Konta is through.

Which means Rafa will be on soon.

VAMOS

Kyrigios next! My niece loves Rafa so this will be fun!!

Mostly score watching out and about today, glad Isner has gone and pleased for Konta.
Rafa now eek!

Was watching Konta on TV but had to go out in car, put radio 5 live on and they're doing the young lad with no chance against Federer. No offence to the lad but Konta is Brit number one which a decent chance to go deep.

Thank you for my welcome on tuesday !.
I have been following but just not quick enough to type .
This thread moves so quick.

But i am here for Nadal .

Well, it just goes to show how shit Dick is, that 5 years on from beating Rafa- what has Dick achieved? Really?

He's all mouth. I don't buy the talented bad boy crap. He's a prat.

They need to stop making excuses for him.

And why are they wasting all this time discussing him- and not the world bloody number 2??

Michael Chang did an under arm serve a couple of times, at RG , when tired .

It is not the same thing as doing deliberately to put off your opponent , Boris- you know it's not.

He's not that young any more. They talk about him like he's a child.

There are players far younger than him who show way more maturity. Felix AA, for starters.

Anxiety thru the roof

I know.

But, positively , they shouldn't have to close the roof.

Back from Speech Day and trying to catch up on everything that has happened, both at Wimbledon and on this thread!

Well done to Dan sorry Raahh

Well done to Harriet Dart and Konta.

Yay Jo Wilfred

Oh dear, Norrie and Clarke.

Marin

Bye bye Isner

That concludes my summary for now

I should not have even mentioned the R word

kazza very succinct.

I think that about sums it up kazza
Although Dan annoys me too.
Quick start here from Rafa would be good

I haven’t been on this thread for a couple of years, and that was under a different name, but I had to swing by to say that I feel quite ill at the prospect of the Rafa/knacker match

Rafa’s my favourite, and I’ve refused to watch a Kyrgios match since he played Andy at Wimbledon (and got a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct, iirc )

I want to watch, but I don’t want to watch
