I have to go now - will I be back in time to see the end? Gah

JaneJeffer · 13/07/2019 20:04

Roof time Tim.

Oh, I see that they are closing the roof, and John is unhappy.

It's an outdoor tournament, he says. Hmm not when Djok wanted the roof shut, it wasn't.
Are they still planning to playing the women's doubles tonight?

Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:06

Jane Tim will be feeling relieved.

But it's the wrong court Grin.

All that money wasted on the court 1 roof Grin.

JaneJeffer · 13/07/2019 20:09

I don't think they even needed covers this year. Poor Tim.

Used the women's doubles be on after the men's final or am I misremembering?

Surely they won't play the women's dubs tonight?

Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:17

Leno you would think not. But with the roof shut- they can play 2 more hours after 9pm (which is probably when this will finish).

Might be hard to fit it in tomorrow- though the mixed doubles shouldn't be as long as this one.

JaneJeffer · 13/07/2019 20:18

Delpo has no crutches now.

Or this might just go on too long.

I've got the tv back Grin.

Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:19

Jane that's good!

Vamos Delpo! He has been missed this tournament(at least by a lot of us). Grin

Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:21

In years gone by, I remember the men's doubles being played on the old court 1, and them going into the stands to collect trophies.

They might end up having to play on 1 , whilst the men's final is on. This has happened before.

Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:24

I love that Woody Harrelson is still there- he looks like he is really into it- and didn't just turn up today to either a) see Serena, or b) he's a celeb with a free ticket. So many of the 'celebs' this week have just looked bored.

Fizzywinegum · 13/07/2019 20:28

Just seen the interview with Sue and Halep on TAW - she seemed so happy and lovely - so pleased for her.

Fingers crossed for Delpo’s recovery.

PrivateIsles · 13/07/2019 20:36

Ah lovely Delpo brightening up the thread - he's a sight for sore eyes! Argentinian winter looks all right as well.

Hope he makes it back, sooner rather than later.

Am popping in and out of the living room to catch the doubles - there have been some brilliant points.

Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:38

Fizzy she really seems in a good place at the moment- and I am so pleased that she still had Darren Cahill there, and thanked him- although he is no longer her coach. He made her see what she needed to do to change he outlook on the game, and her mentality on court, and she embraced it.

He's Australian, isn't he? Coached Hewitt. Should call Kyrgios (though I'd rather we never saw him again).

Shame they can't be bothered to show the highlights of the match.

Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:44

Allez! Mahut/ERV!!

JaneJeffer · 13/07/2019 20:44

Beardy Columbian looked better with cap on.

Starbucks I couldn't find it on iPlayer either Confused

Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:46

Jane Grin

Oh, here's Claire to explain no highlights on TAW (is she reading the thread)

and the postponement of the women's match.

Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:48

I've said it before, but Mahut is really a lot taller than he looks like he should be . Grin

(I've always thought he was a bit Hobbit-y- but in a lovely way).

bookbook · 13/07/2019 20:53

ooh, I'm back , and they are still playing! Joy :)

JaneJeffer · 13/07/2019 20:54

He doesn't look 6'3".

I actually agreed with something John Lloyd said - they should broadcast more doubles.

OP posts:
Raahh · 13/07/2019 20:54

Oh ffs- People loved doubles before Andy Murray played itAngry.

And Lopez won it for them at Queen's.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 13/07/2019 20:55

I bet if their favourite had won, they'd be showing the highlights. Of course I can watch it on iplayer but there are actually people who don't have access and might want to see it.

They have never done this before.
