I think you know me better than that Jane

JaneJeffer · 01/07/2021 19:51

Grin ssh or magi will appear with one of her photos.

He's up and about, but not sure what will happen. It's hard now, both for the injured player- and the opponent having to play someone injured.

Apparently the commentator is Chris Bradman? Who was sacked from amazon
Very old fashioned

Raahh · 01/07/2021 19:53

Marin is doing his best to make his a long match.

We really don't need you to, Marin. Just win Grin.

JaneJeffer · 01/07/2021 19:54

Why did they sack him unique? (I sound like AC now).

Raducanu is through. So impressive.

Thanks for identifying the commentator, unique.

JaneJeffer · 01/07/2021 19:56

Well done Emma.

Just caught the end of that match-thrilled for Emma!

GrouchyKiwi · 01/07/2021 19:59

Cirstea's interview is very sweet.

GrouchyKiwi · 01/07/2021 20:02

Ymer's fall looked extremely painful, poor chap.

Tallpaulwho · 01/07/2021 20:11

Phew Marin is through.

kazzaD66 · 01/07/2021 20:12

Yes, well done Emma.

And Marin.

And no, we are still under covid restrictions, so magi is forbidden to post any photos!

Fizzywinegum · 01/07/2021 20:12

Yay - Cilic did win today! Phew - oh he plays Medvedev next

Poor Ymer - hope he’s ok - Tim needs to sort the grass out!

GrouchyKiwi · 01/07/2021 20:13

Ymer seems to be fine.

These kids are 20 and 22. Veritable babies.

GrouchyKiwi · 01/07/2021 20:14

Pleased for Marin.

kazzaD66 · 01/07/2021 20:15

Tim seems very relaxed about the grass.
He has more important things to worry about, such as underground car parks and pilfered umbrellas Grin

GrouchyKiwi · 01/07/2021 20:16

Pretty sure I heard Tim say "In my day we fell over so often we just played lying down. Kids these days don't know they're born".

Fizzywinegum · 01/07/2021 20:19

Grin kazza - Tim gets very defensive when anyone mentions the grass! I wonder if Andy’s got the umbrella invoice yet?

I don’t think I’ve seen Ymer before - is uncle Toni there for Felix?

They are very young although I was watching Alcaraz earlier - he’s only 18. I know that I’m old when tennis players are now younger than my youngest DS Hmm

Raahh · 01/07/2021 20:24

Fizzy I get confused by Ymer- because I didn't realise he existed- I was familiar with his brother Elias- but Mikael seems to be just emerging as a pretty major talent.
He does seem to be ok now.

Very chuffed for Marin- the fact he plays Daniil, less so Grin. I like both, so it's a bit rubbish- and I am at the 'who is capable of beating Djok' stage of the tournament, as to who I want to stick around Grin.
But really, it would be great if Marin did get to another final. Preferably not against Djok. Grin.

Raahh · 01/07/2021 20:24

(and no blisters).

Tallpaulwho · 01/07/2021 20:26

@GrouchyKiwi

Pretty sure I heard Tim say "In my day we fell over so often we just played lying down. Kids these days don't know they're born".
It was a bit surreal yesterday, one minute I was watching the main BBC show and they were going on concernedly about the slippy grass and all the falls by players. Then I switched to the Jo Tsonga match, and there was Jo literally flinging himself around and swan diving like a 17 year old Boris Becker. Hmm I did laugh a bit. I don't think Jo got the memo that Serena sent out about the grass! Grin

Oh now they have Today at Wimbledon Angry

Fizzywinegum · 01/07/2021 20:30

I still don’t get today at Wimbledon being on at this time - why take live tennis off to show this Hmm

JaneJeffer · 01/07/2021 20:31

Well done Marin.
