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!

FEDAL!!! 🎉🎉❤️🎉 excited for that

I'm scared.

Jane me too.

RG was one thing. But this is something else.

Sounds like a great day Private - it’s scary that Djok is looking so good although the commentators seem to have got Rafa ahead in the big three. But as we saw at the Australian Open Djok has the ability to just suck the life out of his opponents

FEDAL!!! . Sounds better than Murena!

Don’t think I’ll see any of the tennis today but will be keeping up with the scores and this thread

And chanting Come on Barbora under your breath Fizzy?

Yes Jane . I still think of the Royle Family whenever they say her name

My DM (who is also a big Rafa fan) says that she’s enjoyed watching the women’s matches more than the men’s this year (she is also not a Serena fan!)

I'd agree with your Mum, Fizzy. There don't seem to have been too many edge-of-your-seat matches this year - maybe because so many seeds got knocked out so early.

Private It sounds like you had a great time. I'm glad that Goffin came across well. Good on you for cheering for Keith- the scoreline showed he had a few chances. It was far from plain sailing.

Djok really is a Dementor, isn't he?Fizzy To this day, after the way he had played all tournament, I don't know what happened to Rafa in Melbourne.

I like Raonic. He has always seemed like a thoroughly nice bloke. I know I was probably the only one (apart from his parents) who was cheering him on in 2016.

I will definitely be cheering for Barbora. And Halep , today.

I'm always sceptical when the commentators start bigging up Rafa- something they never do, outside of RG- I don't believe they mean it. . They are just trying to jinx him .

Just as well magi because you'd fall off the edge of your seat trying to find the red button

Carol is looking hotter than the weather today.

Djok the Dementor
Love that Raahh. Yes he is like that isn't he? Lovely David threw the kitchen sink at him yesterday (in an elegant kind of way) and he had an answer for everything. The double hot dog point was brilliant

Having said that, we were marvelling at how good he is - in a kind of begrudging way

With my TV (free sat) the red button is on channels 988 to 981 so it's easy just to scroll back to them from BBC.

Carol always looks good, Jane

Magi I like that my red button is on channels too- but there have been a couple of occasions when the match I've wanted has been 'proper' red button only. That annoyed me .

Easily irritated at the moment, that's me. .

Glad you enjoyed yesterday private
Your assessment of Djok sounds great ominous

Don't know where great came from!
It's not great that he's looking ominously good

Bates and Castle are playing invitational doubles at the moment.

AC has just had a moment to camera, where he straightened his hair

My tv went off.

I panicked.

I hate Virgin.

I think it's the same Umpire who was in the Leconte match the other day- I bet he loves these matches. It might be AC , but it's lots of fun to watch.

Hope he doesn’t fall over againRaahh

Djok the Dementor very apt.

Looking forward to the afternoon's viewing, chores first.

Fizzy that was brilliant.

AC did a good dive. He was being fanned with a towel by Jeremy. You will be relieved to hear, he is o.k.

kazza he was greatly ominous

David smashed it in those first few games then Djok just found his mojo again

I'm sick of Djok's mojo.

To think, I briefly felt sorry for him when he appeared to have lost it, fool that I was .

(not yesterday- obviously, I think I very fleetingly felt sorry for him at the beginning of 2018).

AC has just had a code violation for ball abuse

He's been watching to many Kyrgios matches.

He'll be under arm serving next, the rascal.
