Wimbledon chat: popcorn matches (and no salt)

[PrivateIsles]

Welcome one and all

Ooh, Dart might get a game!

I keep wanting to type Darty. Darty and Barty.

Nice shot Harriet!

I've just seen Foggy lost the first set.

Also just read that the watch Rafa wears on court costs £712,000

Whoops they’re only showing the doubles as Murray is playing but unfair if you’re a Serena fan - especially if you’ve not got the red button

Raahh in the paper today they called it the Barty Darty Party

Fizzy frightening, isn't? You'd be scared of some Aussie upstart aiming a ball at it.

It must be well insured.

It always looks so heavy though. But not as intrusive as all the massive chains Sasha wears- I always worry about it whacking him in the eye.

Double break oh dear.

I'm not sure Harriet is enjoying herself.

Yes don’t think Darty is enjoying this Party

Think we’ll be seeing Rafa pretty soon

Raahh he says that the watch is light and easy to play in - I also worry about Sascha’s chains - what about health and safety?

Afternoon all.

A few good matches today. Not sure how I feel about the Rafa v Jo-Willy match. I like both of them. Bit annoyed that they bumped Serena's match for doubles. Dart is getting hammered.

Fizzy health and safety, indeed. They look lethal!

Rafa was quite short with a journalist at his press conference the other day when they asked about his watch.

To be fair it did look quite light when he took it off but for £700k I'd want gold, gold and even more gold.

When was the last time Andy played on Court 2. It's the furthest court from the locker rooms. Do you think they gave him a map

Reboot I'm not sure why they asked about it now- he's worn a version of it for ages now. The reason is it so expensive is to do with the mechanism, and how it works. And yes, it is apparently light, just looks huge!

But I'd want a stonking great diamond on it, if it was me.

Dart has lost.
Good on her for getting to the third round though.

Hello RebootYourEngine.
Well Barty Darty party over in 53 minutes.

kazza

I'm glad she got to the third round- especially after being ditched in the mixed doubles.

Berrettini has just started his match against Schwartzman- that could be a tough one.

I have only just turned over, though. No-one has said how tall he is ? .

I'm ready for Rafa now.

It can't get too stressful, it's too early for a drink. maybe

And Serena is through.
Let's hope she recovers in time for the mixed she's a mum, you know

Raahh it's 5 o'clock somewhere

kazza it is, isn't it?

Serena proving herself once more.

She must know the courts like the back of her hand, but she always seem to play a humble game to me, somehow. She does not seem to show the laser focus like others, but she never makes many mistakes nonetheless .

Still got game after all these years.
