WIMBLEDON chat- As we head to the final, we've got the Pimms on ice and the red button ready for actionn

[Raahh]

And a different voice of Doom has spoken!

Ah well, the final should be very good.

Hideous to listen to though, Zoe.

I might need to turn the sound off.

Yy might mute it here, too!

Oooh, I think we are getting a storm. I just heard thunder.

It could have been a plane (I live near the airport and the patio is open), but it was more likely thunder. .

The other doubles match is quite good- lots of mumbling into tennis balls.

And Maggie Smith is watching the match

.

I love the Skugor /Olaru combination of names but I think the umpire is less fond of it.

Everyone got fed so early today I think they are in shock. They'll all be starving again in a couple of hours no doubt.

Jane

I've pre-warned everyone that tomorrow afternnon I will be busy.

*afternoon

of course, with a Brit still standing, why did I expect to get to carry on watching the Ostapenko match? .

They just have to move things. I think they are spying on us "she looks a bit too comfy on that sofa, let's annoy her, quick put it on the red button ".

Jane that was exactly what it was like. Just settling in. And Bam!

'We've found a random pair of Brits in the draw, that til yesterday, we had forgotten all about'

Off to the red button for you!

I don't seem to be able to post on my laptop.

But the remaining plucky Brits are no more.

Why didn't they move the other match back?

Are they showing the 2008 Rafa/Fed match?

Much as I love seeing him win that, I'm not sure why they haven't moved this match back to BBC2.

Seems so

I loved that 2008 match- and everyone says it's one of the best matches ever- but the Roddick final the following year, in terms of scores was much closer.

I really wanted Roddick to win that.

And Ostapenko and Lindstedt are through. I like Ostapenko- she was lovely when she won at RG.

It's much easier to watch something when you know the result.

Uncle Toni looks so young

Gwen Stefani in the players box! I'd forgotten about thatShe looked really miserable.

2008 was amazing. I had so much adrenaline afterwards I couldn't sleep all night

I wanted Roddick to win as well

Hurrah!

Never gets old.

Jane he is my favourite Andy. .

He could have won so much more, in a different era, I think.

I thought the same of Hewitt- but he was hit by injuries (hips, funnily enough).

If this TAW is going to be 59 minutes of Serena and ...oh yes, Halep won as well...I will be very twitter pissed off.
