I do love that mixed doubles always look as if they're really enjoying themselves, regardless of the score.

Raahh · 08/07/2021 19:36

There are a lot of sleeping people- what a waste of a ticket!

kazzaD66 · 08/07/2021 19:43

I'd love to have legs like Naomi!

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2021 19:47

She has great legs kazza

I can't believe how empty Court 1 is. This is a quarter final with 3 Brits playing. It's only 8pm. When I go to Wimbledon, I don't leave until there is no play anywhere!

Raahh · 08/07/2021 20:29

kazza it's a real shame isn't it?

Raahh · 08/07/2021 20:30

Well done to Joe and Harriet- a shame for Naomi and Jeremy though.

I turned over to TAW. Just in time for a shriek from Sabalenka. So loud.

I know when I went it was because of transport issues getting home. Got to make my last train or it’s a bloody long walk….
JaneJeffer · 08/07/2021 20:56

Well I'm sorry but Karolina had the shot of the day!

Oh, I am looking forward to tomorrow!

Come on, everyone but Djok! Grin.

Are you me? Grin
Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2021 08:59

Morning all! Looking forward to the matches later - I should hopefully be able to watch both of them. Hoping for a Shapovalov/Berrettini final but think Djok mught have something to say about that Hmm. At least hope that Denis gives him a tough match.

Fed up of all the football talk already - don’t they realise it’s Wimbledon finals weekend? (I realise I might be in a minority compared to the rest of the country!)

Raahh · 09/07/2021 10:10

Fizzy I am very fed up with the football talk. I cannot believe the suggestion of bank holidays and mornings off due to it.

I also can't believe the suggestion of Bank Holidays ffs.
I got letters about DD1's attendance when she was actually ill from school - despite all the isolations she has had when she hasn't been ill. If I find out they are closing school because football- I will be writing to the bloody governors. (Dh is lucky he is no longer one of themGrin).

Fizzywinegum · 09/07/2021 10:29

I can’t believe they’re talking about closing schools for the football Raahh Shock

When people at work are going on about football I try to introduce some tennis chat - they were slightly interested when Murray was still in but not any more!

I just find football quite boring

ChessieFL · 09/07/2021 10:36

It is all a bit ridiculous - I hope England win and I can understand people being hungover and tired on Monday, but closing schools and giving bank holidays is ridiculous! Not that I’ll complain if I do get a day off mind Grin

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2021 12:52

Is John having a dig at the Broadys there?

Raahh · 09/07/2021 13:10

Going back to the terrible film, that I know you really like Jane , one of the things I found really crap about it, is Peter Fleming is famously really tall (compared to players of his day). Not so much now, when all the players are tall.

The actor who played him, is 5ft 8!

kazzaD66 · 09/07/2021 13:12

Which John Jane - Mac?
What's he saying?

Also completely fed up with football Angry
Shops shutting early, schools opening later, headline news ( because there's nothing more important going on in the world Hmm)

My brother did go to school with Gareth Southgate and play football with him but I really don't care about any of it!

Mama1980 · 09/07/2021 13:19

Afternoon all, dd hasn't been well so I've missed most of Wimbledon this year - but looking forward to watching the semis today - I'm firmly in the 'anyone but Djokovic' can win camp Smile

Raahh · 09/07/2021 13:23

Dh is miffed about football because (thanks to this weeks isolations at dd1's school) the match he has planned for tomorrow is up in the air, and he has had to scrape together a whole new team . (His goal keeper is out of action- and he only has 1Grin).

I don't don't care if Father Christmas the Line Judge wins on Sunday- so long as it isn't Djok.

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2021 13:27

Lloyd kazza. He was talking about people remortgaging their house so their children can play tennis and the pressure that puts on the children.

Hi Mama hope your DD is feeling better.

Raahh the casting of the whole film was ridiculous Grin
