Wimbledon Week Two 2022

[JuanPotatoTwo]

New thread :)

Thanks for the tip River - it’s still a bit cloudy here but I think the weather is supposed to get warmer as the week goes on

I’ve already been swimming so think I can justify sitting on the settee for the rest of the day (week!)

I think I’ll just have the Kyrgios match on in the background (with the sound off) - can’t really bear to look at him or listen to the fawning commentators - just not really sure how it’s going to pan out but I can’t bear to think of a semi final between Kyrgios and Rafa

Hope Rafa’s match doesn’t start too late - there have definitely been more late finishes this year even with play on the middle Sunday - hopefully focussed Rafa will turn up

That was good timing IceandIndigo - might as well just enjoy the tennis!

I wonder if Tom Daley knitted Jelena’s cardigan? He was at Wimbledon on Saturday

Fizzy it really was a strange look on Jelena- the crimped hair, the odd cardigan- the bag next to her that looked likd a 1970s knitting bag.

Maybe Jelena is taking up knitting (now times are hard) - like Madame Dufarge in 'Tale of Two Cities'- knitting at the guillotine. I imagine that's a bit how it feels watching a Djok match

*Defarge

Djok won then :(
Weather started out hot , but is cloudy now.
Let's hope NK behaves himself today!

I watched Stef's press conference. He was totally bewildered. When he said about lines people going to the umpire twice it highlighted how badly the match was managed.

Raahh

I think Tim Daley’s knitting skills are better than Jelena’s cardigan!

Jane - I saw a clip of a linesman having to walk up to the umpire to tell him that Kyrgios had been swearing - it was like going up to the headmaster at school to tell on someone - ridiculous!

They really need to get a grip on Kyrgios right from the beginning today - no messing about!

I feel like he'll just play the match today.

I made the mistake of putting This Morning on while I'm waiting for Wimbledon. It's like the A-Z of how to scam people.

I almost hope Nick doesn't behave himself. I hope he self sabotages in a big way and tanks. He is getting away with so much, and the sanctions mean nothing. Surely, if he carries on again today the way he did on Saturday, they can't keep making excuses for him.

Stef may have done what he did- but really, his actions were probably because of what Nick was doing at the other side of the net. If he had been playing a reasonable player- he probably wouldnt have reacted the way he did.

It's clear Kyrgios goads his opponents-and the umpires- and there should be sanctions against that.

Jane you will probably be right-and then Sue will say how wonderful he is for being such a good boy. Like he's a bloody labrador puppy who didn't chew the house.
It's patronising shite

Yes Stef seemed shocked he had been goaded into that and was relieved he had only hit the back wall with the ball.

Jane he was lucky. I'm glad it wasn't worse, for his sake- and I do blame Nick entirely for the incident. I really feel for Stef, that it happened. He has a proper career to think about.
Kyrgios is just messing about, and really doesn't care. He's a bully. If he stops playing tomorrow, he will probably be glad.

And already- they are spending ages talking about him on the BBC.

Ugh. He is not entertaining. He is a dick. And he's a not a role model I want for my kids.

Tracy- Jabeur isn't playing today.

Shh you'll jinx Rafa

Did Inverdale choke on his Twix?

They're called eye drops John

I’ve had enough of Inverdale already - why is he still going on about the Kyrgios/Stef match

Just turned on De Minaur v Garin and Inverdale saying straight away "looks like it'll be an all Aussie next round (with NK).
Well maybe but Garin's got this far....(and he's hot)
As I said before, don't like NK but I'd quite like to see him play Rafa or Djok because I don't like them much either.

Andew Cotter has been given a hard time on twitter for his remarks about Kyragios, and has shut down his twitter - as long as he keeps commentating as he is my preferred commentator

We need an antiinverdale, there's a lot of him about.

Was he pro or con @MrsLargeEmbodied?

he was fair but anti K on the whole

The people who think Kyrgios is great are just like him. Bullies. I've seen them attacking people on Instagram who don't agree with his bullshit.
