Wimbledon chat: popcorn matches (and no salt)

[PrivateIsles]

Welcome one and all

The one and only time I ever saw my parents properly fall out was when my mum had a bit of a crush on John McEnroe and was cheering him on, and my dad was furious about how unsporting he was. She was a very respectable lady, but loved McEnroe, Connors and Nastase.

That intro is migraine inducing!

Bertrand I love that. I'm with your mum there.

I love a good rivalry, a bit of a grudge/needle etc - but it's better if they have the game/results to justify it - Mac did and genuinely loved/loves tennis - Kyrgios doesn't seem to, at all.

Love it!

What’s likely to be good to watch today? I’ll be out between 2 & 4pm, but looking at the order of play the only match I’m excited about is Cori Gauff, and that’s later on

"I am a professional player" love Rafa

I think Halep v Azarenka will be good colourless but yes it's slim pickings today. Stupid upsets!

I’ll give that one a try - thanks

Karen and BustaGut should be good.

Damn I said Jennifer Capriati too

Tracy and Boris have a nice rapport

Yes that should be good as well Jane

Chanda Rubin always reminds me of the girl who was in the Cosby Show.

Aww 14 year old Tracy

Cash in the attic

I was so happy when Boris won.

I'm watching Raonic- not sure about this match. I am not keen on Opelka- too Isner like for me. And my keyboard is playing up and making it hard to type to today.

I am imaging tie breaks.

They won't be as tense as yesterday's.

Karen and BustaGut should be good

I’m in a huff with Khach for putting Lopez out

I was only happy when Boris won in the early years , Jane.

His wins against Stefan were obviously not my favourites! (I cried when he beat him in 1989).

And Opelka is 21, dontcha know.

I wish I had a £1 for every time they've said it. I could pay all of Dick's fines.

Yes Opelka does seem Isner-like - a bit gruff on court and hits loads of massive serves.

Jane - they haven't moved Cash in the Attic have they?!

No Private it's Pat Cash in an attic showing old footage of when Boris won

Jane was it really?! Pat Cash has such a great name for puns.

Yes indeed Private
