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.

Don’t know how they managed to play in that light!

Well, that was fun.

I'd rather have the real thing, but that was a worthy substitute.

I think it made me miss it more!

Right - need to actually move and do something now - I’ve got tennis torpor already and there’s not even any real tennis!

Ok Len and Ainsley have made me turn the telly off and move

I think it made me miss tennis more Jane

I only managed to see a bit of that - when Rafa had the match point in the fourth set. Might watch on iPlayer.

They started on a high didn't they - one of the best matches of all time (well, so I've heard ).

Looking forward to Goran v Rafter on Wednesday.

I now have to walk the dog in the rain.

Goran and Rafter is one of my favourite matches. On the Monday. I loved them both, but was thrilled for Goran.

Me too! Against anyone else I would have wanted Rafter to win.

I wonder if the programme will include the Tim v Goran semi final??

Ah Goran. Remember that Tellytubbies comment he made after his win? Such a sweetie.

I'm an absolute lightweight but pimms and vodka sounds entirely reasonable and delicious! Damn but I have to go cook dinner, otherwise...

Yes JaneR he watched it every day for luck iirc

I remember when Pimms was proper at 40% proof. Not the wimpy 25% it is now.

I have got a recipe of how to make your own Pimms - I'll dig it out later & post it. It's really good!!

magi that sounds good.

40% definitely wouldn't need the addition of vodka.

That recipe sounds good magi - Definitely no need for extra vodka!

Just spoken to my DM - she’s watching the match from this afternoon and she can’t remember who wins - there are some advantages to getting old!

I’m definitely watching the Goran match - I love him but a bit disappointed that he’s now involved with Djok - maybe he could introduce Teletubbies as part of his training plan! (As if Djok needs to be any more weird!)

Yes, Goran being involved with Djok does take the shine off him a bit.

He should have stuck with Cilic. They were a good partnership.

It's quite windy out at Wimbledon- and there is a lot of noise.

ooh- Sue has mentioned the Adria tour. Controversial.

Oh ffs. What are they showing clips of later. Yes, true to form for Sue, Voice of Doom- the Rafa/Darcis match.

Couldn't help themselves, could they?

Sue must be freezing!!

Private she does look chilly. I bet she is cursing the idea to sit outside- it's blowing her hair all over the place. Which wasn't a problem or Tim .

At least Heather stuck to an all- white dress code .

I missed the start - can't believe they are going to show the Darcis match!

Looking forward to the highlights of that Stakhovsky-Fed match as well then

Loved Coco's TikTok video.

Aww, a baby Tim.

Oh I only just realised Heather and Tim were there. I think I'm watching on delay (my iPad keeps pausing to tell me I have low storage yes I know!)

Spidey oh yes, when they show highlights of second round matches ,they will definitely show the Stakhovsky match. Except they won't.

Coco was great. .
