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!

Magi I'm way ahead now.
Actually it's vodka.

@magimedi & @Badger1970 me and my dm agree with you too about Serena. I always preferred Venus anyway!

Me neither jane it was far too close for comfort.

I feel sorry for Felix but I love watching Cressy play - not just because he's pretty do we know yet who he plays in round 2?

I actually enjoyed watching serena last week in the doubles, she looked like she was having fun - but the commentators are driving me a little crazy in this match and she's back to looking like she just doesn't enjoy it.

Badger, that's a disgusting thing to say.
If you knew anything about the sport you'd understand that it's not about how much you run around the court. What matters is how much you force your opponent to run around and how you control the game.
Serena is an absolute legend, and just because she isn't a scraggy scrap does not give you carte Blanche to insult her physically.

Maxime is playing Jack Sock next Mama

Come on Tan!

I'm watching the other match.

I'd almost forgotten about Sock, Jane. He seemed to have vanished.

Maxime has lovly hair. He can be my Matteo substitute, now Matteo is out.

Jane (I'm not actually watching - I just don't want Serena to win).

Thanks jane - playing like he did today I think he might have a good chance of winning that one.

I agree with you @VickerishAllsort . I can only dream of lumbering around and achieving what Serena has, she's a fantastic athlete and brilliant player.

And any woman who has had children, taken a break and been able to return to elite sports is amazing.

Hope I get to see him Mama my coverage is so limited this year

Maxime is all mine Raahh hands off!

Serena and Harmony - must be a very peaceful match?

I'll let you have him, Jane He is quite lovely though.

Pliskova ahead in the tie break- the noise is odd with roof shut.

It's the battle of the tats

Jane

I'm loving the reactions from Tan's box

Jane It really ispretty impressive tatts they are, too.

I'm trying to avoid the Covid news here by ignoring anything that isn't tennis. DH had the news on in the kitchen and they were talking about bringing back some regulations. I don't want to know.

That little girl is so cute isn’t she mama?

I wouldn’t exactly call it peaceful Jane

Looks like I won’t be getting my early night!

Completely agree with this - indefensible!

Thats's a bit rubbish, Jane -no chance of that here, I think Boris has decided it's all over, even if it's not.

Yikes - tiebreak - I think one of Serena’s tape things has fallen off her face!

Tracey's pronunciation is interesting. Mac would be proud of her.
