Wimbledon 2022 [tennis]

[magimedi]

Just so lovely to think we wake up tomorrow to the best 2 weeks of the year.

ABD for the mens & Kivitova for the women!

Oi! Jane! Je sais bein comment faire une nouvelle fil de discussion!

Merci beaucoup magi glad to hear that the French are very polite. I wonder what they make of you?

Thanks for the new thread magi

Can’t wait for Wimbledon

Thank you for the thread- and

I would love Petra to win for the women (though I also love Halep).
Wouldn't be sad to see Iga win.

Rafa for the men (very, very, long shot- his draw is hard).

ABD- definitely . (and Kyrgios- I don't want him to win anything!)

Thanks for the new thread magi.

I won’t see much for the first three days as I’m away with work. I’m also going to miss the women’s final as I have theatre tickets that afternoon! Hopefully I’ll see plenty of tennis in between and will definitely be watching the men’s final.

I don’t really mind who wins for the women - there’s several people it would be nice to see win and I don’t think there’s anybody I wouldn’t want to win. Hopefully Emma will get a decent run although she has a tough draw. Some of the other British women have been playing really well lately so it would be nice to see them do well at Wimbledon too. I can’t see there being any British women beyond the third or fourth round though sadly.

On the men’s side - obviously I want Rafa to win and if not him then Matteo. I was hoping for the possibility of a Rafa-Matteo final but that obviously can’t happen. Again I hope the British men all have a decent run. I would love to see Andy do well in particular. Again though I can’t see a Brit staying in beyond about the quarter finals but you never know! However, as long as the winner is ABD I’ll be happy!

Good Morning all .
Haven't checked the Wimbledon forecast but absolutely torrential rain here in Manchester. Big contrast to the last few days.

(I knew I should have cut the grass )

Good luck to Kwon Soon-Woo- the MN tennis crew are cheering you on!

Checking in 🎾🎾🎾 loved this thread so much last year

Hello Mingling

It’s just a bit showery here - hope it stays dry for Wimbledon

Yes I’m hoping for a KSW win - I’ve never heard of him before but will be cheering him on against Djok

I’ve already done the food shopping - just going to whizz round with the hoover and then then plonk myself on the settee for the next fortnight (although annoyingly I will have to go to work at some point )

Has Sue sneaked away? Where is she??

Jane I was just thinking that- have they got rid of her already??

I don't know this presenter but she said Sue will be around for the Centre Court matches.

I still don't understand why Wimbledon made their decision about the Russians

They are just slowly sidelining her, aren't they
I know she said it was her decision to quit- but I'm not convinced.

This woman's jacket is a terrible clashing shade of green.

Jane no, and the fact they are going on about it now smacks of 'protesting too much'- I think they know it was the wrong decision, and didn't expect the ATP to remove the points.

They shouldn't be letting unvaxxed players in, either.

And the U.K. government is never wrong Tracey

I still find is funny that removing the points benefited Daniil.

Raahh** they're too scared of NoleFam. The Russians have got nothing in them. They might come over and start singing.

I don't know why I keep getting those stupid asterisks. It's getting on my wick. I got a popup last night asking if I was enjoying using the updated app. Er, no.

Jane I raised an eyebrow at that too.
They've been given a script by Tim, and they have to stick to it, or they will take his tie off him.

Waiting for Mac to come along and shake them all up a bit

Jane I hate the update, it rubbish and slow, and so many things don't seem to work anymore.

I think the absence of Roger is the reason they are courting Djok- since we know they've never rate Rafa. Although, funnily enough- the Australian Open was not poorer for him not being there.

Still no sign of Our Boris being beamed in.

Oh Mac won't mince his words
Don't want Tim up set on his first day, though.

Yes Tim has definitely been practicing his script! Hope AC and Peter Fleming don’t start arguing about it again!

Yes where is Sue?

I'm trying to work out if ADF is wearing odd socks? They look do slightly different but not sure if he’s got tape on one of them?

My red button doesn’t seem to be working so I’m watching on iplayer - hope it’s better than trying to watch Glastonbury

Carol is very floral today. Nice to see someone not full of Botox.
