Raah I remember the stabbing, that was awful. I was only little at the time but remember it clearly.

Rafa playing well - I was quietly cheering on Souza the other day but adore Rafa! (Sorry Evans)

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2019 13:51

Yes feeling a bit sorry for Sousa but Rafa is playing well.

The Seles stabbing was horrific Inglourious

The80sweregreat · 08/07/2019 13:52

The security all stand facing the crowd at interval times now. I believe that was brought in after Seles was attacked. Awful times.

The80sweregreat · 08/07/2019 13:57

Rafa match is in bbc one.

PrivateIsles · 08/07/2019 13:59

Remember for a while they used to have the chairs turned so the players' backs weren't to the crowd at the changeover? I suppose security is so tight now they don't bother any more.

Anyway. Yes, so today Rafa is getting a bit of credit. Finally! Against Kyrgios, he just (I quote) "played his part" according to the commentators Hmm

Btw I've not heard much from AC this Wimbledon. Is it just the matches I'm watching, or is he keeping a lower profile than usual??

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2019 14:00

AC is off chasing butterflies.

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2019 14:06

I’ve not hear much of AC either Private - he was commentating on the doubles a couple of days ago. I’m missing the nature talks - I really did want to know what that little black and white bird was!

PrivateIsles · 08/07/2019 14:08

Grin yep that must be it

The80sweregreat · 08/07/2019 14:08

AC is also on LBC as a presenter at weekends so maybe his just tired ( with any luck)
I don't mind Boris.

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2019 14:10

What has happened??

PrivateIsles · 08/07/2019 14:10

Argh! Is anyone else getting a frozen picture of Federer?! In the middle of Rafa's match?!

It's a conspiracy Grin

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2019 14:11

Phew!

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2019 14:12

I thought a bunch of Fed fans had stormed the BBC.

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2019 14:12

Sabotage! Was I imagining it or did roger just pop up on screen wearing a “Roger” t -shirt?

RebootYourEngine · 08/07/2019 14:12

I nearly had a panic attack. Someone at the BBC didn't like Rafa do they.

RebootYourEngine · 08/07/2019 14:12

*doesnt

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2019 14:13

That's not narcissistic at all Fizzy

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2019 14:13

Phew - glad it just wasn’t me - thought I’d been watching too much tennis (well I have Grin)

RebootYourEngine · 08/07/2019 14:14

Fizzy did you go and see Toy Story 4?

PrivateIsles · 08/07/2019 14:16

Probably for the best that Raahh didn't see that Grin

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2019 14:16

Not yet Reboot - we were hoping to go and see it as a family but my 17 year old DS went to see it with his friends.

The 20 year old wants to see it - he wouldn’t let me get rid of the DVDs Grin
