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!

Hi Juan good to 'see' you.

I'm pleased for Norrie - he's not the most inspiring player but he seems very nice.

I just can't get enthused about this Murray match - might switch to watch Carlos instead.

I don't have to go out now so I can watch Carlos in peace. All level so far.

Hey @Mama1980 :)

ADF is 2 sets up- but it's very tight in his match. Vesely is a bit of a serve bot. He's pretty tall too.

Oh dear, Carlos over shot that!

But he takes the set. VAMOS.

My iplayer’s got a bit of a delay - I just saw the Carlos overshot that you mentioned Raahh

I am very lucky in that I have a cleaner. But I may not have him for much longer. He’s just text me to say that one of our dogs ate his homemade vegan burger 😮. I can’t tell if he’s cross or not!

The dog probably did him a favour Juan!

Fizzy

You might know about that later, Juan, in the worst kind of fragrant way.

Poor dog. Probably thought he was getting some lovely processed meat- got a mouthful of lentils.

Interesting tache on that man in the crowd.

Yes I can’t imagine the dog enjoyed it much! I don’t know what to say - I can’t offer to replace it since my cookery skills don’t extend much past boiled eggs!

Emma seemed undercooked to me. Probably not surprising when she was injured in the lead up and couldn’t train. Garcia was excellent but Emma made a lot of unforced errors. Disappointing.

Umpire having a gossip.

Is that Denis watching this?

Some great shots from Alcaraz.

ADF match has now gone to a 5th set.

No! It can’t have been 12 years ago surely?! (Match between Isner and Mahut).

Crowd getting a bit rowdy.

That's quite often the case with the evening slot. Like they've had one two many Pimms by this point in the day

Juan scary, isn't it? And Mahut is still playing- even though i swear he said he was retiring years ago (but that might have just been from singles). I love watching Mahut. Isner, nope.

Murray just in there, tough match though

Alcaraz was brutal in that tie break.

It seems to be a French thing to say you're retiring and then keep turning up

That Isner Mahut match was the first proper match I remember of Wimbledn and I got into. Before that it was just two people and a ball and I didn't have that appreciation for it.

Forgotten how much of a big hitter isner is.

How old are Murray's kids? I wonder if they'll ever watch him on centre court
