Jane I am sure (although it might have been weather related) they used to be on at the same time as the mens match, rather than on after. So - this would have been on court 1, whilst the singles was on.

Maybe having the roof has changed things- they are confident they can fit it all in, one after the other. But it's a bit risky.

I haven’t been watching Jane - was Dame Maggie there? Grin His lordship’s done his back in so he’s even more grumpy than usual!

They do always mention Rafa’s losses (even when he’s not there Hmm). They kept popping up in those Slam fact things or whatever they were called

Anyway it looks as if Rafa is having a nice time on his yacht in Mallorca with the sun setting behind him - wish I was there!

Hope Djok’s not been practising his dance moves too much if the players ball has been cancelled

Raahh · 10/07/2021 21:41

I really hope the weather is ok tomorrow.

The last thing we want is the roof to be closed. I am not sure about Matteo's 'grass-court-indoors' record- but we definitely know about Djok's!

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2021 21:42

Ah maybe Raahh and then they showed them afterwards.

Back in the day there was no way of score checking so you could watch in peaceful oblivion whether it was live or not Grin

Raahh · 10/07/2021 21:44

I saw the Mallorca pictures, FIzzy it does look lovely.

I'm sure he's having a great time on his yacht. Catching a few fish.

That skyline over SW19 looks amazing.

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2021 21:46

Oh no Fizzy poor Lord Grantham. Yes Dame Maggie was there looking fantastic. I love that my autocorrect recognises Lord Grantham after I type a few letters Grin

Raahh · 10/07/2021 21:47

Jane very true. None of this score checking lark.

(I am guilty of score checking matches I am watching live- especially when they are abroad- because there is always a slight delay- that way I know the score a bit in advance Blush).

Wimbledon annoys me, because I can't do that Grin.

I read spoilers too.

I hate surprises. Grin.

Raahh · 10/07/2021 21:50

They got about 5 minutes dispensation last time because -guess what- Murray was playing.

This time- they will get to 10-10 in the 5th- at 10.59- and will have to come back tomorrow.

I bet you.

Raahh · 10/07/2021 22:05

My eyes are going.

I need a banana.

Raahh · 10/07/2021 22:06

Or dates.

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2021 22:09

Too many signals Grin

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2021 22:10

Good hold.

kazzaD66 · 10/07/2021 22:12

Haven't watched anything since about 4.45pm, so thought I'd just check my phone for the doubles result. Can't believe the men are still playing!

I thought the women's doubles final used to be on afternoon the men's singles, before the mixed Confused

That's what I thought kazza but I know it wasn't the case in 2019 as I missed them and was pissed off! I don't know when it changed.

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2021 22:14

They could let those people in!

Raahh · 10/07/2021 22:15

Jane they could- there's plenty of room!

Raahh · 10/07/2021 22:18

They are having a very good year!

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2021 22:19

Great match. Well done the Croatians.

Raahh · 10/07/2021 22:19

That was a good match.
Got to feel sorry for Granollers and the Rafa -Slayer , though .

Grin.

Raahh · 10/07/2021 22:20

Tidying up his racquets, that's nice.

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2021 22:20

Grin he'll always be able to boast about that in the pub as Peter said.

Raahh · 10/07/2021 22:21

Catherine's probably gone home by now.

Only so long you can wear white stilettos.

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2021 22:21

Teenchy trophies!

Raahh · 10/07/2021 22:21

Jane well I for one will never forget it.Grin.

Raahh · 10/07/2021 22:22

See- I still remember the days when the Woodies used to get their trophies in the stands. And I'm sure it was on the old number 1 court.
