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.

I’m surprised to see Heather in those leggings again - not sure it’s a good look . I probably don’t dislike her as much as magi does but she’s very bland - I think that’s why I like Boris and Mac - at least they’ve got opinions and can be a bit controversial! (And interesting!)

I didn’t like wearing a mask kazza - I had a practise run before I went so had already dealt with the initial weirdness - I was a bit sweaty though . I did think about people who had to wear them all day (like your son *Raahh)

Hope you enjoy the gin

The heating has been on here - just to take the edge off

It’s last year’s finals this afternoon - is this Djok’s first appearance?

I was really pleased when Halep won - she looks quite severe on court but was lovely and smiley in her interview afterwards and when she was talking to Sue the other night.

I wonder if Sue will interview Roger - has he been on yet? Sue loves Roger!

Tonight should also be BB’s wheelie bin challenge - can’t wait

I think it was one of Simona's best performances- she knew she was probably the underdog going into it (though she shouldn't have been)- the crowd were not really not on her side, and she just kept her head. I've said before, she played the ball, not the player or the crowd. She is my favourite of the current crop in the women's game- though Ash Barty comes a close second for being just really lovely.

Sue does love Roger. I'm surprised he hasn't been on- but maybe he is busy. Home schooling 4 kids, all on his own .

I finally caught up with the last two episodes. I think Heather's leggings are Spanx which are very expensive (to me anyway) but not the most attractive garment! I really like Johanna on the programme much better than I like watching her play with her weird service action.

Djok has been very quiet since his corona diagnosis.

I know Raahh bet Roger doesn’t get any help at all

Djok has been very quiet hasn’t he Jane? Hope he’s ok - suspect he’s just keeping his head down and hoping that everyone will forget about the whole thing!

I really liked Halep's dress last year too.

I enjoyed the women's final last year much more than the men's. It was such a great performance from Simona. To be able to do that in a GS final is pretty amazing.

I had a laugh to myself this morning, when my phone's "photo memories" popped up with a photo of Djok doing his post match celebration after winning the QF against Goffin - one year ago exactly apparently!

Usually those reminders are photos of DS messing about or something, so it was funny to see Djok pop up!! Also I'm not sure why my phone chose that one out of all the photos I took that day

Djok is probably off hugging fig trees somewhere and turning water into miracle cures. He is now immune from everything.

But people will not be too kind when he does re-appear , I imagine, after the Adria fiasoc.

*fiasco

I think I read somewhere the other day that Djok is moaning that everyone is blaming him for the car crash events, when it really wasn't his fault. He thinks the criticism is unwarranted and unfair

Private

I know this hasn't been a proper Wimbledon, but I will still 'miss' having the bits of tennis that they are showing, when it gets to Monday.

kazza is such man-child. It was totally his fault. He was the figure head of the tournament- he needs to take ownership of it. All the cavorting around night clubs, and basket balls games- he did that.

Any good will he might have built up when he got his rent-a crowd behind him at the ATP Cup has been well and truly blown, hasn't it?

I'll miss it as well Raahh - it's been something to look forward to each day! Plus chatting about it on here of course!

I see Sue's on at 6pm tonight!

6pm!!

Well, no Tracy you might not have expected it to be this one sided- but if you had paid attention to the fact Simona had barely dropped a set all tournament, then you would have expected it. .

How very dare you Raahh!
I most certainly am not a man-child

Pmsl- I have seen Gardeners' World is on at 8.

That reminds me of being a child, my mum used to go mad when Wimbledon went off for Gardeners' World!

Did we really need so many shots of Meghan during this match? Who was actually playing?

Sorry kazza Missed out Djok!!

kazza

I am probably going to have to walk the dog, at some point during the Fed/Djok match.

There's the man in the hat!

No need to skip any of this match really- it only lasted 56 minutes altogether!

at calling kazza a man child!

Wimbledon is on at 6.00? I do like a bit of Gardeners World though - DH caught me crying at the programme when Nigel the dog died (and I’m not really a dog person!) I’m just an emotional wreck these days!

I'm going to the pub at 6.00 - I’ve booked my two hour slot . Not sure what it will be like but thought I’d give it a go - should be safely home before things start getting a bit wild!

The commentators now sound like they were expecting a Serena comeback - and she is playing a lot better in this game/the last one isn't she? But Simona just kept going...

So my TV guide reckons. It's Wimbledon Rewind, a quick break for Flog It!, then back to Wimbledon with Sue!
