I bet Clare Balding’s a bit annoyed - there haven’t been may proper Today at Wimbledon’s

The matches on no 1 and centre can go on until 11pm now but I don’t remember so many going on this late?

JaneJeffer · 30/06/2022 21:17

Can't say I'm missing her Fizzy Grin
TAW hasn't impressed me much so far anyway.

Fizzy at least they can't start proper 'night sessions' at Wimbledon - due to the curfew. The late starts of some of the matches at RG this year was ridiculous.

Fizzywinegum · 30/06/2022 21:29

No I’ve not really missed Clare either! The RG night matches were ridiculous!

JaneJeffer · 30/06/2022 21:33

Ooh Coco slipped but she's ok phew

I’m a bit sad about the empty seats

think I missed why so many

JaneJeffer · 30/06/2022 21:46

Well done Coco

Coco was confused by the new entrance doors Grin

It’s getting quite late Marsha - maybe people had to leave to get trains etc?

Wimbledon seems to be becoming a tournament that has night matches by stealth

I would be quite happy if anyone wanted to donate their unwanted centre court tickets to me though Grin

JaneJeffer · 30/06/2022 21:49

Aww she's so lovely

De Minaur is incredibly talented. Jack Draper is playing magnificently.What a great match.

magimedi · 30/06/2022 21:52

Did anyone watch Titsipas? He was on fire - haven't got the draw handy but hope he comes up against Djock soon. The way he played today he'd knock him off the court.

I was quite anxious that I wouldn't get the full TV of Wimbledon, here in Europe, away from direct acces to BBC, but I am SO happy with my iplayer access (via VPN) - it's so much nicer than BBC1 or BBC2 - I can just click into any match I want & get it. No blurb before, players arrive and commentrary starts. Players leave & commentary stops. Perfecto!

Day 5 of isolation (covid) tomorrow. Feel quite a bit better but still a bit tired. Will take a test again on Saturday & just hope to be negative.

Thank the lord for it being Wimbledon whilst I've been in isolation. Might have gone totally nuts otherwise.

GrouchyKiwi · 30/06/2022 21:57

That was a nice wee moment at the net between the two chaps. Hard match for De Minaur, Draper was fantastic for so much of that.

MarshaBradyo · 30/06/2022 21:58

Good match tough to win

True Fizzy I just got into it I’d forgotten it was quite late 😀

JaneJeffer · 30/06/2022 22:01

No magi he seems to have been banned from the main channels for some reason Angry

I’ve been lurking on the tennis threads for years, can I take the plunge and join you? Was feeling a bit down after Andy’s exit last night but enjoyed the Boulder/Pliskova match today and then of course Rafa. Off work now until Monday and no more school runs until September (hurrah!) so hoping the next few days will be mainly tennis…

JaneJeffer · 30/06/2022 22:30

Welcome @AppropriateAdult

They didn't show Jordan's altercation with the umpire grr

Fizzywinegum · 30/06/2022 22:39

Welcome Appropriate

I'm sure Stef will be on centre court/BBC1 when he plays Kyrgios Hmm

JaneJeffer · 30/06/2022 22:41

I'm watching the Eurosport highlights, maybe I'll get a glance of him.

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 30/06/2022 22:42

Hope you feel better soon magi - I wouldn’t wish COVID on anyone but Wimbledon seems a good time to get it (unless you’re a player of course!)

JaneJeffer · 30/06/2022 23:17

Fair play to Eurosport, I got to see the bad call and everything!

JaneJeffer · 01/07/2022 12:17

Don't bother putting the top back on Frances

OP posts:
Fizzywinegum · 01/07/2022 12:21

Jane did you get the full Manuel experience from Eurosport last night? Grin

I’m working from home today but might watch some of the Bublik/Tiafoe match - could be interesting

Once I get sat in front of the telly I don’t move though! (Not really sure if this is is a problem but there are some good matches coming up later as well)

JaneJeffer · 01/07/2022 12:23

Que?
