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!

That should say the "Beeb" not Been. Autocorrect fail.

That was Marion Bartoli, Mingling. Who carried on working with him later at the French Open. I wouldn't have done.

Yes I’m not sure how he was allowed back after saying that

Is Peter Fleming there? I hope not after his Queens appearance - he really didn’t have a clue!

He said something about how he wondered if her dad had told her when she was growing up that she would ' never be a looker' and compared her to Sharapova. That she would basically have to be good to make up for that.

And yes, he still has a job.

Main quote...

Inverdale said: "I just wonder if her (Marion Bartoli) dad, because he has obviously been the most influential person in her life, did say to her when she was 12, 13, 14 maybe, 'listen, you are never going to be, you know, a looker.

You can tell Tim just wants Inverdale to shut up but he's too nice and polite to say anything

Anyone watching the Draper v Berg match? Superb tennis.

Finally back from ferrying people around. I feel like i've spent most of the afternoon sitting waiting for people. Ds's train was late, so I was score watching.

The baseline already looks a bit of a mess- are those v shape marks meant to be there?

Vamos Rafa! Keep up the pressure!

Just saw the end of the tiebreak River - well done Jack!

Oi, Rafa, VAMOS!

Oh

Meanwhile, Felix AA is in a battle with Cressy, which I thought would be a tough one.

Inverdale is almost salivating at the thought of Rafa losing this set, isn't he?

Sue Voice of Doom!!

Voice of doom

Aargh

Did they get this over excited when Djok dropped a set? No. it was merely a blip.

I blame Sue!

Shut up Inverdale!

Fizzy Definitely Sue's fault. She is the Keeper of the List, after all.

Tim's gone all don't panic Mr. Mainwaring

I’m going to have to go on mute!

John is doing the list again 🙄

John can get lost.

He needs new material.

5-5 in Stef's first set. I thought he was about to win it a minute ago.

I had forgotten about Stef. Rafa's match is getting stressful and I don't like it.
