Tennis: Wimbledon Week 2

[JaneJeffer]

Imaginative title

I would like Berrettini, Shapavalov, Hukacz and Fuscovics to win today. I suspect I might get maybe 2 of those in Berrettini and Shapo.

I honestly think this is the easiest draw Djokovic has ever had, its been an absolute cake walk for him, and I can't imagine today's match being any different. Please prove me wrong Fuscovics.

Tall - I agree. He hasn't really faced anyone has he? I know that's mainly because the players he should have played have lost, but even so. Draper is the only player to take a set.

And I think Fed has been very lucky. I really think Mannarino was poised to beat him.

Why is John mentioning Kyrgios? Is a contractual thing? He's not even playing. .

Sue is looking lovely.

I'd forgotten that Hurkacz got to the final at Halle in the doubles with Felix.

He's really, slowly, been steadily improving this year, Hubert.

I didn't realise Naomi Broady is in the doubles with Jeremy Chardy. I haven't got to see any doubles at all. I really like the way Naomi plays. I think Wimbledon should add a separate fortnight just for doubles

Did John have some champagne in his orange juice this morning, he seems a bit all over the place today.

Go Naomi (she's a 'local' so I hope she does well).

Be quiet John you are starting to annoy me. .

Tall he's been rambling for days.

I prefer listening to Boris (our Boris, not t'other one ).

He was going on a bit wasn’t he? Boris didn’t get a word in and yes he didn’t seem sure who was playing who

I want to watch the tennis but I’m working Just on my lunch break now - might have to get the iplayer on and multi task …

Boris seems to enjoy Mac's ramblings

Where's Andrew disappeared to?

John has been shuffled off now to mispronounce Khachanov for the American audiences, I think.

I've never liked Mac either as a player or commentator. I hate the way he says Joke -ovic. I think there's a bit of a changing of the guard this year with lots of new players coming through in the men's game.

I'm in the ABF and ABD camps. I really don't like when anyone becomes too dominant in a sport. Time for a change .

My housework is all done and it's pishing down here so I don't feel guilty about spending a whole afternoon lying on the couch watching tennis

Boris seems to enjoy Mac's ramblings

Makes Boris look better (and sober) I think he is delighted with that.

Really looking forward to these matches today. It's great to see the youngsters in the QFs. Missed Boris and John's chat!

Jane I think he finds him amusing. It makes him look good. .

AC is only available when Murray is still in the draw.

X post Tall re Boris lookng good .

Ooh- we've got Martina.

Hope she's warmed up. .

I think Sue said John is doing Hubie's match later?

Shapo is having a nervous start and the wind is messing with this ball toss a bit.

Nice to have Martina commentating, I missed her in week one.

Jane she did.

Seems quite empty in there.

I was also wondering where Andrew had disappeared to - me and DH reckon they’ve given him a ‘special’ microphone that doesn’t work and he’s sat somewhere happily rambling away to himself

Have just introduced DH to Liam Khachanov.

I like Martina's commentary very much.

Fizzy

I wondered whether he had met whoever Kate did and has to isolate.

Fizzy yes, I like to think AC is sitting in a cupboard somewhere chattering a way into a Fisherprice mic , commentating on a match by himself. .
