I loved the wheelie bin tennis Grin

PrivateSpidey · 15/11/2020 17:46

Yes remember how wheelie bin tennis was the only tennis we'd seen since about February/March at that point!

Private it was better than nothingGrin and they got very competitive about it.

PrivateSpidey · 15/11/2020 18:04

it was better than nothing
Grin it really was! I couldn't believe how desperate I was to see tennis (or even just someone hitting balls into a bin)

I must clarify!

I love Sue Barker, she is a Goddess of Tennis in my eyes!

I’m sure she had a random producer in her ear, going “abort, abort”. I know she doesn’t think much of The Djerker from her previous comments. 😀

Good match. Glad to see Thiem come out on top, I think he can beat Djerk so I want him through to the next stage.

Science Grin

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:07

Ok- explain the bubbles to me again- because Tim is now in the studio with Catherine and Danni on Prime!

Are they all living with AC? Grin

Fizzywinegum · 15/11/2020 20:08

Tim will be on overtime moonlighting on Amazon Prime as well

Here comes Rafa!

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:10

I love the big announcements- as though the crowds are going to start cheering. Except there is no crowd Grin.

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:11

Fizzy it is very strange, because usually Prime is the domain of Rusedski- so even more odd that it's Tim in Greg's usual place Grin.

Fizzywinegum · 15/11/2020 20:11

I’m not sure Raahh Grin Catherine Whittaker said that she was in the biosecure bubble but didn’t say who was in it.

I think they’re all staying in the same hotel - on the Podcast she said that Diego was trying to get a Deliveroo but the delivery man wasn’t allowed onto his floor!

Fizzywinegum · 15/11/2020 20:13

Hopefully Tim won’t be a superspreader - don’t want any cross contamination Hmm

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:13

Aww, poor Diego Grin.

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:14

Yes, we will know who to blame if they all go off sick, Fizzy. Grin

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:16

Catherine is like a dog with a bone about why Rafa hasn't won- it's hardly rocket science to work out that Rafa's game is more suited to an outdoor court.

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:19

Well, I think Petch has probably jinxed him.

PrivateSpidey · 15/11/2020 20:19

I've just been asked/informed I have to help DS with homework (nothing like leaving it til the last minute) Hmm hopefully this doesn't take too long so I can watch!!

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:21

Private kids, eh?!

PrivateSpidey · 15/11/2020 20:25

Raahh I know Grin

At least it's not maths (definitely not my strong point!).

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:29

Don't get me started on maths...I delegated DD2's homework to DD1 today.

Fizzywinegum · 15/11/2020 20:33

Was that a bit of Orange Juice’s Never met a girl like you before playing in the background or am I going mad?

That was a quick game from Rublev

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:42

This game is a bit longer.

And usually the longer Rafa can make the games last, the more chance he has of winning.

Raahh · 15/11/2020 20:55

This is a good start for Rafa.

Fizzywinegum · 15/11/2020 21:00

Poor Tim’s getting a bit of grief - he’ll be glad to get back to the BBC
