Crack open the Pimms! It's time for the 'Non- Wimbledon' Wimbledon Tennis thread!

[Raahh]

I have had quite a bit of the Aldi Fake Pimms this week, won't be as nice when it's raining.

David Ferrer is going to coach Sascha for a trial period. Brilliant!

Cranky umpire!

It’s freezing here as well - I’m trying not to put the heating on in July

Hmm Sascha doesn’t seem to have a good track record with coaches does he? Hopefully David can keep him in check.

I love the Duchess of Kent - that hug is so sweet. I’m glad that Jana did eventually win.

Hopefully he'll work on that serve. I really want Sascha to do well!

Listening to the plane going over Wimbledon made me realise how few planes I've heard passing recently.

The umpire is very cranky!

The line judge behind Connors looks very relaxed.

I had to take the dog out, which was annoying.

Excellent news about Sascha and Ferrer- hopefully David will work on his serve and teach him a thing or two about stamina!

Jane I live practically on a runway, and it is very strange not seeing as many planes going over. Things are slowly getting back to normal though- my sister went to Spain on Monday.

I'm not sure I like the lime green towels.

Connors loves to hurl his towel down as he gets up. It made me laugh that one was still on the ground some games later. No handling grubby towels for those ball boys!

The umpire sounds like Anton Lesser.

That woman's sari is the same colour as the towels!

Connors' hair though!

It's so bad. Reminds me of Chris deBurgh.

The towels were very green!

Raahh I was just about to post that my hair looked like Jimmy Connors in the 70s! Not a good look for a girl! Although I did usually have a wonky fringe if my DM had given it a trim!

There's actually lot of lime green in the crowd. Must have been the in colour for 1975.

Fizzy oh dear to be fair, I think a lot of kids did have hair like that in the 70s.

I was only 3 when match took place- and had massive curly hair.

And Arthur died the same age as Jana

It wasn’t exactly a cheery Wimbledon programme was it? So sad for both of them - so young . I watched the programme about Arthur Ashe on Sunday night - it was very interesting but sad how things turned out.

No, not the cheeriest, but I'm glad they both got had the careers they wanted. It's a shame that Jana in particular is remembered more for choking in '93, than for all the tournaments she did win.

Boris!!

Our Boris, that is.

oooh- quiz question.

So, past champions in 92? Boris, Edberg, Mac, Connors,
Stich won in 92 does he count as a 'future' champion?

Sampras, obviously as a future champion.

Oh heres Fed with his dodgy greasy pony tail.

Yay Boris! (Yes our Boris!)

And Delpo and Rafa - you were right Spidey and Raahh - unfortunately there is football so I’m banished to the kitchen!

Did Krajicek play in 92?
