The crowd being so against him sometimes galvanises Djokovic

Elderflower14 · 14/07/2019 17:50

I've been watching. I don't think I've ever heard a crowd so for one player like they are for Roger!!!

unless you saw Virginia Wade win Elder ! Grin

JaneJeffer · 14/07/2019 17:51

Applies to both

Ungracious how though? Maybe I’m not watching closely enough, or the nuances are escaping me? It just looks like two men playing tennis?

It’s not the supporting Federer that I question, it’s the anti-Djokovic which seems weird

Is there a history, has he done/said awful things?

PrivateIsles · 14/07/2019 17:52

Elderflower I haven't either - not at Wimbledon anyway.

Great last shot by Rog there.

Raahh · 14/07/2019 17:52

Harry Potter actually came out the year before. I watched it when PG with ds. But you crack on, AC.

Elderflower14 · 14/07/2019 17:52

As we say in Suffolk, Castle doesn't half talk a lot of squit doesn't he??

WellTidy · 14/07/2019 17:52

I’m starting to really enjoy this. It’s only taken four and a half sets Smile

NothingBreaksLikeAFart · 14/07/2019 17:54

Nadal’s other half doesn’t come to matches does she?

Jane Grin

Couldn't have put it better myself Grin

Fizzywinegum · 14/07/2019 17:55

Madge I don’t think he’s done anything really awful. I personally don’t like his style of play, I find him quite fake and think his wanting to be loved so much makes him seem desperate.

Federer is always going to be the favourite anywhere though - people just love him.

kazzaD66 · 14/07/2019 17:55

And then some elder Hmm

Raahh · 14/07/2019 17:56

Actually , I will correct my own post- iirc- HP came out at the end of 2001.

I watched it on dvd in 2002 Grin.

WellTidy · 14/07/2019 17:58

I find him needy and whiny Madge. Though I’m sure not everyone loves my boy Rafa Smile.

MadgeMidgerson · 14/07/2019 17:59

Fair enough I guess, anyone can dislike anyone for whatever reason.

It just seems weird and arbitrary, maybe I just need to watch him play more and it will be obvious to me too?

JaneJeffer · 14/07/2019 18:00

has he done/said awful things no he's a force for good in the world

Nothing Rafa’s fiancé usually comes to the later stages of bigger tournaments.

I think she was at Wimbledon on Friday but the cameras didn’t show her much.

She says that she has a job so can’t really follow him round which is fair enough I suppose.

MadgeMidgerson · 14/07/2019 18:03

A force for good in the world? Are you making fun of me? I was asking in good faith, apologies for unwittingly offending

Sorry all I will leave the thread now

JaneJeffer · 14/07/2019 18:04

I'm serious. Ask McEnroe.

I feel a bit like Mirka - I’ve suddenly become invested in this match!

Fizzywinegum · 14/07/2019 18:07

Without the diamonds of course!

JaneJeffer · 14/07/2019 18:08

Don't like William's sunglasses.

Thanks Fizzy.

PrivateIsles · 14/07/2019 18:09

Fizzy - yes same!

It'd just be sods law if these two played the first ever 12-12 tiebreak Hmm

Pesky record setters.
