Wimbledon Week Two 2022

New thread :)

- that’s funny!

(I do feel the urge to punctuate every post with 'VAMOS' now)

And here is a PR video by Mac, on behalf of Djok.

VAMOS

If it's not a popularity contest, John, why is the Beeb so obsessed with Dick? Because he ain't winning anything.

Sorry- VAMOS

Raahh

I'm not a saint and I'm not a Sinner
But up against Djok, I hope he's the winner.

Carol and Sue

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios charged with assaulting ex-girlfriend

It's in the guardian, that link is upday and might not work

Aggh apologies, thought I'd read to the end now see it's been linked already.

Should someone who has been charged be allowed to play?

As long as Johanna isn't preparing to present it.

Basilashvili was allowed to play when he was charged with assaulting his ex wife wasn't he? I remember Andy being very cross about it.

Guess what I just posted on this thread Post one sentence that will give someone else out there the rage... www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/4582316-post-one-sentence-that-will-give-someone-else-out-there-the-rage

Carol can take over from Sue. Knowing anything about tennis doesn't actually seem to be part of the job description, going offsome of the presenters they've got .

Tennis and weather combined, how very British summer time

Jane

Yes Basilashvilli was allowed to play after being charged with domestic abuse - unfortunately it’s a bit of a grey area with the ATP

I’m intrigued Jane

Jane

Vamos!

Any nice looking people in the player’s boxes?

Oh, here we go. The news about Kyrgios.

Shame the court case wasn't scheduled for now.

I don't think the Australian meaning of charged can be a different meaning?

Jane they are probably desperate to make it look like it's nothing. So any pathetic tenuous thing will do. Their 'box office' draw is in danger of bringing the place into disrepute- so they need to minimise it somehow.

But you just know Mac is going to bring it up!

I though they were going to announce that he had pulled out when they started talking about breaking news…..no such luck.

Chessie no, and he;s too pig headed to take an easy out - withdraw with an 'injured shoulder' and avoid press scrutiny.

No publicity is bad publicity, according to him.
