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!

Vamos!

We’ve been doing that for a while John

Fizzy**

I think it's time for one of John's quizzes. He's running out of things to say.

He didn't play last year.
Idiot.

I don’t think John will ever run out of things to say

Deliciano!

The players do look a lot nicer in their white kits - much better than the poo stripe and patterned monstrosities!

The kits all look very white as well - wonder if they’ll look a bit more grubby in the second week

Fizzy you need to find a picture of Ostapenko's kit. There was something definitely 'off' white about parts of her kit. it looked slightly yellow/cream.

I womder what they did with all the poo stain shorts? It's definitely one of the worst things I have ever seen.

Wow!

I’ve seen no tennis today and won’t see any tomorrow due to work commitments. Both Emma and Andy have got tough matches tomorrow so I hope they stay in long enough for me to actually watch them play!

Gutted to see Matteo is out.

Eurosport 2 does highlights at 10 if that's any use Chessie

Hopefully the poo stripe shorts have been put on a bonfire Raahh

I’ll have a look at Ostapenko’s outfit - wonder what Serena will be wearing later

The men look very smart anyway

At least they're not talking about plastic bags on rackets any more.

I can't believe there's empty seats.

Steala true. They were obsessed by those.

Do they have a shot clock at Wimbledon? I'm not sure they do. Otherewise they'd be wittering about that.

Great shot.

Vamos! M

The second set was better.

Wrap this up now Rafa. I'm off on taxi duty.

Don't know where the M came from.

Rafa is in good form.

How does Inverdale get invited back every year as a commentator?
Andrew Castle is also dreadful but at least he has played tennis at pro level and has proper game knowledge. Inverdale is just constant drivel.

Wasn't it Inverdale who wasblacklisted because he said that a female tennis player wasn't first in line when god was giving out looks. Or words to that effect

I didn't mind him when he does punditry for rugby but not tennis

Sulusu it's a mystery. I hoped he would disappear once ITV lost the rights to Roland Garros, but it wasn't to be. Its not like he knows what he's talking about half the time.

Blimey did he say that? How on earth is he still working for the been!

I agree Sulusa - it’s just constant drivel from Inverdale - I’m not an AC fan but I think I’d rather listen to him than Inverdale

Tim is being very patient with him
