Tennis: Wimbledon Week 2

[JaneJeffer]

Imaginative title

I remember Annabel Croft on Wogan, she was a sweaty nervous wreck - really feel for Emma,
such pressure,
McEnroe has come in for criticism for his remarks.

Good morning Wimbledonners!

Can I ask you to consider popping over to the Petitions Board to sign this petition asking the IOC to protect Women's sports?

Wish it was manic Monday today - I’m not going anywhere and it’s pouring with rain here!

Does anyone know if there was a Today at Wimbledon yesterday - I thought it was on later but it’s not recorded and I can’t find it on catch up or the iplayer

Looking forward to some tennis later - in the meantime I might have to do some housework (or just sit on the settee and wait)

Thanks Bore.

There wasn’t Fizzy - they don’t have TAW when matches run late. There was a bit of chat after Emma’s match ended but not the usual TAW programme.

Thanks Chessie - the only time I wanted to catch up on some of the matches I missed - never mind!

When will Daniil's match be finished?

Every time I see Karolina I think of Sam trying to tell her apart from her twin by their noses

Jane I think Daniil is first up on Centre at 1.30.

I just keep thinking of Karolina's double bagel loss in the Rome final. I'm not sure there was ever an explanation for it. It was just bizarre.

Thanks Raahh

It's absolutely pissing down here.

Pliskova has Māori tattoos, which is an interesting choice for a Czech.

Grouchy your post about Maori tattoos has me racking my brains trying to remember the name of a children's programme set in NZ that I used to watch in the 70's.

Before my time so I'm no help I'm afraid, Jane.

You youngsters

I found it! It was Children of Fire Mountain and look what I found! Maybe Karolina was a fan

Wow the noise of the rain on the roof!

That's brilliant, Jane! Maybe she is!

Could it be the Children of Fire Mountain, Jane ? I vaguely remember it- but google also tells me that it was broadcast in Czechoslavakia, and dubbed- so it would fit!

X POst!!

The rain was so loud- I thought it was outside here !

Raahh so it must have been shown on RTÉ in the early 80's too.

Are we ever going to get a summer? Probably not.

Hurkacz is serving for the set in their match.

I am not convinced he will get much further- and Danill has a marginally better chance of beating Djok , if anyone does.

So- come on, Daniil!

Summer?

Nope. I'm getting my dog some wellies.

Into a 5th- come on Daniil!!

Bit sudden death, this.
