Wimbledon chat: popcorn matches (and no salt)

[PrivateIsles]

Welcome one and all

Wow - come on Coco!

Well done to Gauff for drawing level, but I do feel sorry for Hercog. Especially if she goes on to lose the match now.

I know what you’re saying Raahh. In many other matches, Hercog would have the crowd completely behind her.

Wowzer

Delighted it’s a third set
Game on

This is the first match I've watched of Wimbledon and I'm SO GLAD I turned it on. I've been screaming at the tv! Come on coco

I am watching with the sound down as I am listening to rafas press conference from yesterday. Why have they taken the Gauff match off of bbc2?

Gauff is on bbc one now.

Thanks. Didn't know Wimbledon was on BBC 1. Was switching between 2 and the red button.

It might be the reason they put 'Eat well for less' on the schedule- something easy to ditch. Only I imagine they expected to be ditching it to show the Murray match, if truth be told.

Was all set to see Polona and her inks march on at 5-2 but what a brave fight back from Coco.

Are there any Novak fans on mumsnet?
Not here....

Just watched a bit of the Williams/Tiafoe v 2 brits match...

They were talking about Dick!

Cheering Coco on. Amazing confidence and talent. 👏🏾👏🏾

Gah this is tense! Come on coco!

They’ve bumped Gregg Wallace again for tennis??

Yes I suspect the bbc didn’t expect this match to go on for so long and thought they would be showing the Murray match (and some other players)

I bet Gregg is mad!

Fizzy yes, Murray and some other players ..

They wouldn't have ditched Eggheads. (a repeat) . Eggheads is sacred, as we know.

Murray and the other lot! Sounds like a band name.

impossible he has to be mentioned during every match. It's a new BBC rule.

Normally they don't bother about any doubles. Suddenly it's all about the doubles. Strange that.
( I'll have a double g and t. Ta )

80s Gregg will be livid. I imagine he is twittering now like a mad fool, about the rudeness of ditching his very informative programme.

It's a good thing they don't come around my house during any tennis tournaments.

'Here we have the Raahhs. The mini- Raahhs are being left to forage in the garden whilst Mrs Raahh watches Spaniards play tennis on tv whilst drinking vodka . How can we help them?'

Murray (and some others) won't be performing tonight.

Oh no Murray and the other lot won’t be playing tonight - it does sound a bit like a band name The80s

Serena is on first tomorrow in her singles - I wonder if Andy is aware of her diva tendencies?

'Mini' Serena has her mannerisms off to aT! It's uncanny.
