TENNIS thread - We wave goodbye to SW19, and look forward to the hardcourt season.

[Raahh]

Before we run out .

By be Wimbledon

By be ?

WTF does that mean?

Bye Bye! As Fabrice would say.

Raahh

Eat something Raahh for the love of God!

Missed everything after the speeches as had to rush to kitchen.

Dinner now cooking

Evening kazza

Dh got very excited by the cricket.

He doesn't even like cricket. He does/has played softball though. He's an umpire now. I suppose they both involve bowling and batting

Jane

Now on G&T, with some of the Pimms fruit

Nice Rioja looking at me ready on the dining table

Thanks Raahh

Carbs for you

Thanks raahh for the new thread.

Cheers, Private.

I need to soak up the Pimms. I didn't have that much. I'm just that drained- by a match I wasn't fussed about -that I feel more tipsy than I should!

It's a good job DS hasn't got school tomorrow

You are all welcome.

Thanks for the new thread Raahh

DS1 tried to explain the cricket “tiebreak” to me but I wasn’t really interested.

kazza you just reminded me that there was some wine left (I know, unheard of!) - just poured some out to go with my sandwich

Unfortunately , both dd1 and dd2 are still at school. So I do need to be up. DD2 is still not quite right- but they have a transition week at her school, where she spends time in her new class. I really need her to go in.

That was a quick set.

It was the final set that finished me off - I managed to miss the handshake and the non celebration - I think I was waiting to see if Djok ate the grass!

I missed the end too, Fizzy

The last point was just a bit of an anti climax, I think, and I got distracted.

Made me laugh when he ate the grass though.

Now it’s Tour de France

Bye bye Wimbledon

I enjoyed Djokovic's grass eating face

Do you think he was wondering what the smell was, Jane?

'this grass, it has a bit of an odour'

Me too Jane and Raahh

I think his expression said I may be eating shitty grass but I won Wimbledon so nerr

In case you want to know the last time someone won Wimbledon from match point down was 1948 - according to twitter.

What happened.

Has anyone else just had the tennis go off- no Voice of Doom.

Nothing.
How unbelievably rude.
