They have thankfully moved on from that now. But I was getting a bit annoyed with Heather- I felt she didn't want to blow her own trumpet, and Sue tried to big her up- but she wasn't playing ball. I know players will find fault with their performances, but she really did push Serena that day, and deserves the credit.

I had forgotten this match - Sam Smith, Conchita Martinez, 98. I sometimes forget Sam actually played tennis, and isn't just a commentator.

It was a good win for Sam.

Oh - a pre- recorded Wheelie bin challenge.

And they think Sam is cheating Grin.

Oh dammit I totally forgot about the early start!! Argh! Sorry you had to talk to yourself Raahh!! I have managed to record it though.

Still, at least I should now be in time for Eggheads.

Connors against Pernfors on Monday- I have such memories of that! As comebacks go- that is one of the big ones.

Connors was losing 1-6 1-6 1-4 ?

And won the match.

I remember that Connors match. Yes it was something like that scoreline Raahh when the comeback began!!

Raahh · 03/07/2020 20:17

It reminds me of the Rafa comeback against Medvedev at the tour finals - I know that wasn't 5 sets, but even so, being down 1-5 in the 3rd set, and still winning the match, it's living life on the edge.

Oh yes - that was a good comeback.

Does Medvedev not really do social media?? I feel like I haven't heard anything of him for ages.

Just watching Heather's match now. DH and I were on No2 Court and were score watching this match. The cheers from Centre Court rang out the whole length of Wimbledon whenever Heather won a point. I think Venus was the match on our court but I can't really remember Confused

I think Heather must be cycling home tonight. No other reason for wearing a jacket that bright Grin

Spidey funny you should say that about Daniil, he doesn't appear to have had much presence through all this- most of the other players have. I hope he is ok. And his family.

I do feel sorry for the younger players, who were finally starting to make a bit of progress against the Big 3. This situation must be really frustrating.

I did laugh on when Tim asked Sue where the rest of her dress was.

It was very short. Grin.

Myles is doing the rounds. He was in the jungle as well. He was lovely, a real gentleman. Don't know what happened the rest of them.

It does look like he is the last rat standing.

I love John Barnes' voice. I could listen to him all day. Thomas was great on The Apprentice, very funny. I don't know who Judy is?

Raahh · 03/07/2020 20:57

I know what you mean about John Barnes.

I am sad about Olympics, because it means we will be robbed of the lovely Michael Johnson. I can listen to him all day.

I had forgotten about the olympics!
