WIMBLEDON Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?

[JaneJeffer]

Are there no tiebreaks at all in a final? Or is it just not in the final set?

Final set Nothing

Maybe if it gets to 6 all in the first they might agree to a draw Raahh

Only the final set has no tie breaks I think?
I'm probably wrong

Grouchy I've no idea what any of that means - every time I've been into the other room where DH is watching, it just seems to be a bunch of blokes standing around

He's gone out to watch it now with people who actually understand what's going on.

Thanks Jane and 80s.

Yesterday's match was nearly over by now

I have never understood cricket at all
It looks a very boring game.

80s tiebreak at 12-12 in the final set.

There’s a tie break at 12 all now in the final set (the Isner rule after last years marathon match). I think that still applies in the final.

I see , didn't know that rule ! Makes sense I suppose.

CRICKET UPDATE FOR DUMMIES
Looking OK for England right now but they still have to bat (hit the ball around the field [grassed area they play on]) before we get the result (who wins).

I think Mark Steel when he goes to watch the cricket at Lords he feels youthful.

Not a fag paper between them
Tim is out the back now restringing the rackets for them.
Blistering return there I must say

You’ve got my understanding of cricket about right there Grouchy

I like when people have fun with their hats but I'd hate to sit behind those people.

First set to the Djok

Terriere why aren't you cheering your man?

Ah, Fed, you are all over the place. That was your tie-break!

I've discovered why I m not keen on Novak: his eyes are a bit too close together I think
It's an old persons thing
( I'm no oil painting myself)
His doing well though even if the crowd are not behind him

OhOstapenko/Lindstedt lost the first set.
