Tennis: Wimbledon Week 1

[JaneJeffer]

Heh, Raahh, that didn't take long.

Ouch, poor boy.

It's Henman Hill and will always be Henman Hill*

*I am not Tim Henman honest.

Poor kid that ball square in the forehead must have hurt

Greg won't be happy that Rusedski Ridge has been renamed.

Jane no .

Come on Felix!!

enjoying the hill name suggestions.

Just tuned in for Kyrgios and Felix AA. I just saw Nick had the trainer on?

Oh- Kyrgios has retired.

Not sure what the problem is, I was watching Sascha and Taylor.

I'm not sure what happened. He had the trainer on a couple of times. He's doing an on court interview now!

Oooo has the curse of the banana court striked again?

I'm at the interview. They don't do it for any other losers. Why do they assume we want to hear him? He's retired from the match. Go home.

Yes, they didn't interview Serena, did they?

Sun I don't know- he won the first set easily- then got the trainer out.

It's Kyrgios, who knows what goes on in his head.

Norrie is looking defeated.

Just changed the channel for the Fritz game. Is it as good as the score suggests

Loved Emma's match.

But, I do think the over hype from Sue Barker, Tracy Austin etc is just not going to help her.

"A star is born". "She's going to win majors".

Anyone remember the same being said about Dimitrov?

I am not at all anti Emaa - good luck to her but I just hate the over reaction.

PS Am not grumpy, am very happy have managed to finalise a trip to see DS etc!

Emma is so pretty I can see her doing modeling in the future.
Hope she does well next week.

Agreed, magi. I think the media and pundits put a lot of pressure on young players in the UK and this really doesn't help them.

Come on Norrie take the set 🤞

She reminds me of Jenna Coleman. Seems so grounded which is brilliant.

She did seem very grounded. Her parents encouraged her to finish school and get exams just in case it didn't work out.

Great news on the trip magi

I’m in London for the weekend (unfortunately not for Wimbledon!) so didn’t manage to see Emma’s match but well done her - agree hope she doesn’t get overhyped

Just watching a bit of Roger/Norrie - the Zverev/Fritz match sounds good - I’m intrigued by his one leg (didn’t he only have surgery a few weeks ago?)

Shame about Nick (not!) - hopefully they’ll stop talking about him now

It’s always got to be Henman Hill (he built it you know )

Can Norrie take this set off Rog?

Tim looked very brown and slim earlier on.
All that working at Wimbledon has obviously paid off ; the pounds are falling off him.
Nick made a fuss and disappeared with his stunning ( but moody looking ) girlfriend. I know he was in pain, but not sorry to see him go.

Fizzy Fritz had knee surgery ,after going out of RG, and feeling his knee 'pop'. It wasn't damaged, but he needed something doing . He did well to come back. it was a good match- and was close for a while, until Sascha worked his way into the match.
