Wimbledon Chat- Moving on to the second week- No Breakers!

[Raahh]

I'm not keen on the roses on Chrissie's dress.

Are they actually going to discuss Strycova and credit her at all?

You could maybe have benefited from a Psychiatrist, Mac.

Looking at the latest scores on the Wimbledon app and poor Jeremy Bates has drawn the short straw and is playing veterans doubles with the butterfly expert.

Which is good news for us, as it means he can't commentate

Poor Jezza.

I can't get over Sue's hair.
Anyway, I am sure Konta will talk about taking away positives, amazing experiences and I’m proud of my efforts etc like she did after unexpectedly losing in the French Open semi final.

Jezza is such a nice bloke. God knows what he's done to deserve this!

Private a pairing for you to track down on the outside courts tomorrow?

But you might need a few Pimms first

I'm with Mac on this. I've never had Jimmy Connors down as a gentleman

Yes Zoe Sue's hair looks like someone has plonked a helmet on her head

Does Chris still talk to John Lloyd?

Had to go out for the afternoon so haven’t seen any of the women’s matches - you lot have been very chatty

Will have a catch up while I watch Murray/Williams and the others.

Chris has aged so well. She looks fab.
She was an awesome player, then Martina came along and stole her crowns!

Hello Ladies, have very much enjoyed following this thread as I've not been able to watch much tennis..
I have a question though, who was with Chris Evert and John M at the beginning of Murray double match
I don't recognise her at all!

I saw a comment on the guardian sport web site about this Williams / Murray mash up as 'Murrilliams'
Made me laugh.
' the other lot' don't get too much coverage!

Chanda Rubin.
She's now commentating on the match - although unfortunately, she's got a bit of verbal diarrhoea, a la Jim Courier

I am more for the Dan Maskell, less is more approach

80s Mac couldn't even be bothered to find out their names, and even went so far as to say it didn't matter who they were playing, earlier. Which was rude.

I've forgotten who was there, pram (memory like a sieve) but it was most likely Chanda Rubin- she was a former US player- did ok, top 10 in the 90's , had her best slam results in doubles. She's part of the Beeb commentary team now.

I need to see Sue’s blouse! I agree her hair does look like someone’s put a bowl on her head and cut round it.

Private you have to go and watch AC tomorrow

I’m hoping that the Pella/Busta Gut match will take a while so that I might get chance to see most of Rafa’s match. I think it will probably be a long, close match - should be a good one.

Yes she does go on.

I'm watching Mahut. Him (and his new doubles partner ) are ding well. I do love Nicolas.

Chris has aged so well think she's had a helping hand

Thank you very much kazza and Raahh , I honestly can't remember her at all!
Thanks for your great thread, brilliant for when you can't get to the tv

Jane
I didn't like to say.....but yes

Jane, chris probably has had work done but I didn't like to mention that! 😂

Raahh, was it a French woman player who used to have Velcro on the back of her dress for the tennis balls? I do vaguely remember someone with an ingenious way of solving the ' spare ball problem. '

80s Steala and Private both remembered it was Arantxa Sanchez who used to do wear a clip on her back.

And then- like magic- the appeared in the crowd .

*she

Argh, what is it with British players! Murray excepted; why are they determined to lose?

I couldn't bear to watch the Konta match. If she'd got through and been defeated by Serena I would have thought OK - no shame to be beaten by one of the all time greats but someone way down the rankings? You cannot be serious, to quote.

Oh Serena rescued that game and set!

Prickly post-match interview with Konta, "You don't need to pick on me".... "Please don't patronise me".
