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!

Love Wimbledon, can’t wait!
who is ABD, op?

Jane no.
There may be no repeat of Wheelie bin tennis.
I miss his blue striped shirt. he will be wearing different stripes now.

ADF not wearing odd socks!

Hi @Purplecatshopaholic it's anyone but Djokovic

ABD = Anyone But Djok Purple

my pointy brackets still aren't working - I was trying to whisper about ABD because I am scared to say it aloud

Fizzy I have hunted his match down on iplayer.

He has a black stripe around one sock, and has tape around the tp of the other.
Clever

Tricky (and unlucky) first round match really. Both have potential to go a few rounds (ADF is a former junior champion).

he will be wearing different stripes now
Bless him

Wonder if ADF feels weird.

Jane he's the Scottish play of tennis

I imagine poor Boris wearing the same sort of uniform that they wore in the prison scene in the Paddington film!

Ah, ha, ha ABD, love it!

Fizzy yes!!
I love Paddington.

by the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes. Oh it's Novak.
That's an actual scene from the play.

Morning, all. Sat here thinking I thought I knew a lot about tennis, but couldn't for the life of me think who ABD was ! Every day's a school day.😀
I think Berretini has a good shot. I don't think kvitova will win, but of course she has a good chance.
Emma's got a very tough 1st round 😒

Is there just one red button now? Sky Ireland is so annoying.

Oh rain.

New stripey uniforms.

These cover people must be new. They're making a meal of it.

I expected it to rain- but not til later.

it makes the fact they start play on the show courts so much later, a bit annoying- at least they have a roof.

<twiddles thumbs>

Guess I can finish cleaning the kitchen now

Jane well, it's either that or listen to them discuss Emma- again.

I'm all about Katie now. Sorry Emma

The new ballboy/girl and linesmen/women outfits are much better.

Emma’s got no chance IMO, just don’t see it. Neither, sadly, has Nadal who I love but I don’t think he should be playing this one this year; same for Andy who hasn’t recovered fully from injury. Could see a Novak-Berrettini final but it’s v early days…

I just bloody love Wimbledon. Even when it's raining.

That is all.

Jane
I like Emma- but if this is all they are going to go for the next hour , I will go nuts. They will run out of ways to say the same thing about her soon.
