I'm so happy Grin semi final!

Fizzywinegum · 10/07/2019 19:05

Me too Jane - I’ve not actually seen much of Roger this Wimbledon but think it will be a good match.

It will be even better if Busta Gut can pull off a shock against Djokovic

The80sweregreat · 10/07/2019 19:07

Busta gut does look the business.

Fizzywinegum · 10/07/2019 19:11

Let’s hope so The80s - an all Spanish final would be good Smile

Raahh · 10/07/2019 19:20

An all Spanish final would be great. I'd love that.

I know that Djok was moaning that his poor form in Miami was down to all the ATP /Kermode stuff, and pretty much blamed Rafa and Fed afterwards for his loss- but it was still a good win there, for Busta.
So, who knows. He might be able to get in Djok's head. I certainly hope so.

Ok, so I'm getting organised. Dh has rung from his softball umpire gig- and is off to Aldi- asked what I wanted. So i asked for some Aldi Pimms. Grin.

Will keep it on hold for the weekend.

Or maybe Friday. Grin.

(I need the right veg/mint)

Aldi Pimms all the way here Raahh - I like it with strawberry, cucumber and mint - it’s almost your 5 a day Smile

Raahh · 10/07/2019 20:53

That's why I like it, Fizzy Grin

I always have mixed feelings at the business end of a slam, especially RG and Wimbledon.

I can't 'watch' much after it ends Sad

I thought Boris was choking then Confused

John knows he can't pronounce anything Grin

Jane Grin

I'm watching Holby. I got the horrible feeling the rest of evening would be a Serena fest and gave up.

Have you ever heard him say Leicestershire Jane? Grin. I still think he does it on purpose!

What was that rap thing at the end of TAW?

Raahh · 10/07/2019 21:02

I swear he pronounces everything on purpose.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 10/07/2019 21:04

I missed half of TAW because I had a little half hour nap. The humidity is wiping me out.

I just realised that I nearly forgot to organise DS2's bus ticket for next term. Has to be done before Friday Confused Wimbledon has a lot to answer for!

Just marking place - and adding to the vibes of "Pleeeeeeeeeeeease let Djok go out on Friday!"

PrivateIsles · 10/07/2019 23:07

Evening all Tennis

Had a fab day - might have been the sunburnt woman Jane (just a touch!). Was quite hot in the sun.

Goffin was brilliant, really enjoyed that match -although would have been better if he'd won that first set... But he was great, v creative and loads of variety. Lovely to watch in every way!

I have to say though - Djok looks pretty good. Like he made almost no mistakes. He was just getting everything back - Goffin was having to hit such good shots and they'd just come back. At the end of the match it showed the stats, and David hit 28 winners compared to Djok's 24 which makes the scoreline look v unfair! The human backboard strikes again.

The Fed match was also good but the RF love-in was so annoying!! Honestly, people were cheering like he'd won Wimbledon when he won that third set Hmm

I was pretty much a lone voice shouting loudly for Keith Grin (except obviously I had to use his official name Grin) - I've never normally warmed to him that much, but I really wanted him to win today. Ah well!

Keith played really well though I thought - and if it hadn't been for missing a few first serves when he needed them it would have gone to 5 I think - Rog was making a few errors (although also playing brilliantly on other points - he was a bit erratic).

Big big match on Friday though eh? I haven't seen any of Rafa's match from today, but if Roger plays like this again... well I'd better say nothing for fear of the jinx, but it should be a good one.

Djok looked kind of unbeatable though. Btw everyone in the crowd was loving that celebration! Hmm Grin

PrivateIsles · 10/07/2019 23:16

Oh I almost forgot - we saw Mansour Bahrami looking v dapper and heading into the Wingfield restaurant Grin

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2019 23:17

Sounds great Private.

I think Djokovic might have said something about his celebration being traditional at Wimbledon but I wasn't really paying attention.

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2019 23:20

The fact Djok made no mistakes is scaring me!

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2019 23:34

I'm not a Raonic fan but I thought this was very touching.

PrivateIsles · 10/07/2019 23:41

Bless him. That was a tough loss.

I also find it touching when tennis players like each other's posts on social media Grin I don't know why!
