'best' in inverted commas Grin

MinglingFlamingo · 04/07/2022 18:28

Hello Feliciano Lopez 😍😍😍😍 I've always rated him as a player but flipping heck I don't remember him being that gorgeous .

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2022 18:28

Sue looks lovely

Raahh · 04/07/2022 18:30

I read some one complaining that Rafa is always going on about his foot.

he never mentions his foot- unless asked.

But bloody hell- John never shuts up about it. Hmm.

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2022 18:30

Grin Mac is on the wind up

Raahh · 04/07/2022 18:31

Mingling Deliciano has always been might fine Grin.

(Judy Murray certainly thinks so )Grin

Raahh · 04/07/2022 18:33

I think Feli can take over from Sue.

He doesn't even have to speak. Although I could listen to him all night.

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2022 18:35

Good idea Raahh

Raahh · 04/07/2022 18:35

Oh, the pronunciation issues in this match are going to be great Grin

'The Dutchman' will make another appearance. He's everywhere. Grin

Fizzywinegum · 04/07/2022 18:35

Raahh - I know - I just have to take people saying positive things about Rafa where I can find it! Grin

I hope that Feli is going to be commentating - he talks a lot of sense and he’s got a lovely voice (if he can get a word in edge ways with Mac!)

Raahh · 04/07/2022 18:36

See- another one who idolised Rafa growing up.

None of them ever idolise Djok, do they? Grin

Love that he's called DelicianoGrin

Oh I can Imagine Judy Murray liking him

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2022 18:37

Love Feli saying you can say Botic?to Mac Grin

Fizzywinegum · 04/07/2022 18:37

Mac is going to practise saying van de zandschulp - oh dear!

GrouchyKiwi · 04/07/2022 18:37

I have to forgive them for not being able to pronounce van de Zandschulp. It's a tough one. Grin

They should call him Zandy.

GrouchyKiwi · 04/07/2022 18:39

That was a bit closer but not quite there, Commentator. You need a bit of phlegm.

theskyisbluernow · 04/07/2022 18:39

Oh my. Feliciano.
And we hav 'The Dutch" and also 'The Dutchman" already from whoever the heck is commentating

Raahh · 04/07/2022 18:40

Hello Grouchy ! i was hoping you would be here.

Yes- I have heard various pronunciations of it.

Even Botic seems to vary. Is it more Bow - to rhyme with low, than bow -to rhyme with cow?

If that makes sense!

theskyisbluernow · 04/07/2022 18:40

Ooh Feliciano is here in their little place

MinglingFlamingo · 04/07/2022 18:42

Raahh · 04/07/2022 18:36

None of them ever idolise Djok, do they? Grin

You see I sort of get that! Because in my head Djork has been on the scene since 2010 where as Nadal I feel has been around since 2003/2004. So the players just under 30 now would have been late teens when Djork started to get big and so they had already caught the tennis bug whereas Nadal was the reason they caught the bug in the first place

GrouchyKiwi · 04/07/2022 18:42

Here you go, from the man himself:

Raahh · 04/07/2022 18:44

Mingling I prefer to think they just don't like him as much .Grin

Grouchy I will sit here saying that over and over, and probably never get it get right. Grin

I've seen him play quite a lot this year though.

MinglingFlamingo · 04/07/2022 18:47

I prefer to think they just don't like him as much .

That also might play a part in it too 😁

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2022 18:51

Rafa's balls Grin

JaneJeffer · 04/07/2022 18:51
