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

[Raahh]

Before we run out .

By be Wimbledon

I reckon the Beardy Bunch definitely use irons.

Oh YES! They definitely use irons .

How else does Benoit get that collar so flat?!

Whoop!! They're through!

Aww! Go the Beardy Bears!

Beardy Bears I love it!!

Yay beardy bears

Wish I could watch Stanoit. I suppose a photo is better than nothing!

It sounds like a softball team name. It's a shame dh is 'retired' and only umpires now, or I might suggest it.

if he wasn't too involved in under 14's girls football that is

He doesn't need any more 'voluntary hobbies' .

Stanoit

That's what Stan seems to have christened them

great photo. They definitely looked like they were having a bit of a hoot. Fun times!!

Speaking of fun times, it's 3 years to the day that Delpo beat Djok at the Rio Olympics - I was so chuffed for Delpo when he won this although tbf, I felt sorry for Novak at the end when he was in tears. (Well - a bit anyway!)

Delpo v Djok clip

Stanoit - yes Stan’s beard definitely needs a bit more work (about five years of growth!) I bet Benoit uses beard oil.

Stanoit sounds like a brand of sparkling water.

Beardy Bears is soooo much better.

What about Benislaus?! Actually that sounds a bit wrong

Get away with your Djok propaganda Private

I am heartless. I felt nothing when Djok lost. .

I was pissed off on on all the Olympics threads because I wanted Rafa to win , and not Murray, though.

Obviously.

Jane

You got me Jane

I was also supporting Delpo in the Rio final because he was robbed in 2012 crying baby cough .

And people didn't like that either.

Yes I so wanted Delpo to win that Olympic final. I think I also got into a spat on here about it for not supporting Murray (about 2 years after the actual match itself )

I loved it when Andy carried the GB flag in the opening ceremony though.

Never feel sorry for Djok private
You know he only comes back stronger.

I wonder if Stan feels a bit inferior, next to the beard that is Benoit? He could be nesting an entire family of rodents in there
And yes to the use of beard oil.

I got DH some of that but I don't think he uses it much. But then, his beard isn't as massive as Ben's

I'd love to see them play doubles though.

I remember the Rio final, when Delpo lost to Andy and they were both exhausted and in tears. As were we - it didn't finish until about 2am our time, or something like that.

You mean when he lost to Fed in 2012 Raahh? Crying baby?! Do you mean in the crowd - or Roger?!

Delpo did Andy a favour then by wearing Fed out before the final (wasn't it the longest three set match ever or something); and 2013 Wimbledon when he played that 5 setter v Djok in the semis.

Well that's what I like to think anyway...

kazza yes it went on forever! A bit like that Davis Cup match..

an entire family of rodents like The Twits!!
