I don’t like Djokovic either but I can never really put my finger on why.

GrouchyKiwi · 11/07/2021 15:28

Bah.

MarshaBradyo · 11/07/2021 15:28

Djok is a machine and I wanted Denis to win last one but I can begrudgingly see that he is a tough player

JaneJeffer · 11/07/2021 15:29

I've just downloaded the latest Jackson Brodie from the library @ILoveYou3000 but I'll put that one on my list.

Come on Matteo!!

Maireas · 11/07/2021 15:30

I love Denis. Definitely a star of this Wimbledon.

ChessieFL · 11/07/2021 15:30

I love the Jackson Brodie books Jane.

Matteo has lost his impetus here.

Raahh · 11/07/2021 15:31

AC has no idea what you are talking about, Boris .Grin

SunSeaSurfGin · 11/07/2021 15:31

Afternoon everyone

Dog needed attention and the rain clearly didn't get the memo it needed to be clear this morning but wet this afternoon. Everywhere apart from Wimbledon that is

What have I missed glad to see Matteo win the first set

Maireas · 11/07/2021 15:33

Slow start for Matteo, @SunSeaSurfGin, he had us worried.

GrouchyKiwi · 11/07/2021 15:33

Let's not do this again, Matteo. The last set was stressful enough.

Raahh · 11/07/2021 15:34

Sun it didn't look like he would win the set, but he clawed it back.

He will have to do the same here, if he is to go all the way.

I'm not sure what happened to Djok at the end of the last set- he's doing the 'give the opponent a glimmer of hope- then thrash him next set' thing.

GrouchyKiwi · 11/07/2021 15:36

Flipcakes.

Raahh · 11/07/2021 15:37

AC and Tim have perked up now that Matteo is losing again.

JaneJeffer · 11/07/2021 15:37

Djok looks more stressed than Matteo.

Oh the same way lions toy & play with their pray?

Who eats dates apart from 2 at Christmas then you realise why you don't eat them for the rest of the year

Fizzywinegum · 11/07/2021 15:38

Why do I always fall for it - Djok does this so many times!

AC you’re way behind us on the dates chat!

I think it might be Pimms time - come on Matteo!

Are you pulling your beard Jane? Grin

SunSeaSurfGin · 11/07/2021 15:39

Thanks for the updates guys

I like how AC is talking as though this is the only tennis match people have watched for the last fortnight

Fizzywinegum · 11/07/2021 15:41

I wonder if the Hartleys from Tunbridge Wells managed to get tickets for the final?

Djok is playing very quickly!

SunSeaSurfGin · 11/07/2021 15:41

Is the guy on the straw hat that the camera keeps cutting to the comedian Lee Mack?

JaneJeffer · 11/07/2021 15:42

Yes I am Fizzy luckily it hasn't got to Papa Berrettini growth levels yet.

Raahh · 11/07/2021 15:42

Sun the dates are usually 2 years out of date by that point too, and in the drawer with the orange and lemon slices and Elizabeth Shaw mints.

I love Elizabeth Shaw mints.

Raahh · 11/07/2021 15:43

Fizzy oh, yes, the Hartleys .

With no first name.

Fizzywinegum · 11/07/2021 15:43

Jane Grin

Yes I think it is Sun

JaneJeffer · 11/07/2021 15:43

Come on Matteo!

the80sweregreat · 11/07/2021 15:44

Can you still get orange and lemon slices?
I like the jellies you get at Christmas ( York jellies ?)
