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

[Raahh]

He has. We've got your back, Rafa. Watching you on the red button, every match .

Oh, Jane now that's a good idea .

good old RB

Just watched the clip of Rafa saying that, Private - love it

What a stupid question to ask - his answer was perfect. Plus he used the word "polemics". In contrast, my Spanish enables me to order two beers, please.

Bless the RB.

He probably won't even be on that tomorrow.

Boy's singles, Butterfly Watch with AC, or a Murray and Serena on loop will take over .

Until the Fed match .

Private - have you ever considered going dressed as a section of a grass tennis court? I spotted a lovely gentleman in yesterday's crowd who might be willing to loan you an outfit.

Jane I'll do my best. Little butterflies and castles all over it - a deserving tribute!

I like that we stick up for Rafa - I'm sure a lot of people feel the same about the crap he puts up with at times.

GFs is the perfect description Raahh

TheOnly my grandpa, love him, was terrible on holiday in Majorca (when I was about 11) asking for 'Dos beers, por favor' very loudly. . The place we went to though, was somewhere he had been going to for years. They loved him. (great tipper).

Private looking at the order of play on the Wimbledon app, I can't see Jezza and Tosser. You will be gutted if you don't see him

Unfortunately, I can't see Henri or Mansour on tomorrow's schedule either

Either way, hope you have a fantastic day

Butterflies and castles now that's a great idea.

I'll keep my eyes peeled Private

TheOnly I saw that guy!! The AstroTurf looked like it could get a bit sweaty tbh Can't fault his commitment though.

That guy creeps me out!

kazza what?! My dreams are shattered!!

My favourite Rafa press conference is that one where he said "what happeneded in Madrid happeneded in Madrid" etc

Oh poor Serena

I've never been so excited about someone I have never met, going somewhere, ever.

But that's why I love this thread.

Are you watching TAW, Jane, my dc have me watching Ackley Bridge.

I'm recording Ackley Bridge Raahh

Clare said Harpers Bizarre have an interview with Serena where she talks about how she had therapy after the US Open. Poor Naomi probably needed it more after that

Private his English has always been ...interesting.

It's still better than my Spanish.

reading Dora books to dd1 , I learnt a bit

Where abouts are your seats private ?

Jane

I am really, really angry at how short the memories are of the people fawning all over Serena.

They even had Kim Clijsters talking about her today, ffs.

They are petrified of her. But you can't say that. Even though it's true.

I was in our local bookshop once and there was a loud parenting woman reading Dora to her daughter. I wanted to hit her over the head with it.

And last time I said that on here, I berated by someone who seemed to think that the fact Serena has won umpteen slams makes her beyond criticism.

well- she's chasing Margaret Court's record- and she's a homophobic bigot.

Jane Dora rule my life for a long time when dd1 was little. And Diego.

At the weekend, we saw that they have done a live action version of it- with a very much older Dora . It was a trailer in the Spider man film (did I say I really liked that?)

I think I'd rather watch the new Jumanji film.
