I agree Ice - it must be rubbish for people who had tickets - I would be gutted but I guess these things happen

They have moved some matches around though so there’s not just the one semi on centre court

AndDjokovicDancing · 08/07/2022 13:48

I am enjoying the wheelchair semi final.

Raahh · 08/07/2022 13:59

Fizzy , Ice*- I agree with all of that- he wouldn't have continued if he didn't think he could (and has retired during big matches at slams before- including at the semi final stage).

Fritz himself has said he didn't deserve to be in the semi final, because he couldn't beat him.

I've just seen Onstoppable and it wasn't even Robbie Grin

ooh- Jane I did Grin

Raahh · 08/07/2022 14:06

Jane someone is stealing his material Grin

I'm getting post slam blues- and it's only Friday. It's the thought of a Djok/Dick final.

I don't get a slump after RG, because the European tennis continues, and there's stuff to watch. But next is the North American swing- and that's all at the wrong time Grin

JaneJeffer · 08/07/2022 14:28

Ons got asked at her press conference whether Keir Starmer should have been at Wimbledon on the day the PM resigned Confused she told him she didn't know but that she's the Minister for Happiness Grin

There's some European Opens in July which will be on Prime.

Jane there are a few-to be honest, I probably won't have much chance to watch a lot. Which will please the dc.

I really ought to move off ths sofa for a day or two bit, I suppose Grin

Poor Ons- what ridiculous question (in a long line of ridiculous and often inappropriate questions).

I'm looking forward to her match- Elena has done brilliantly- but it would be a huge deal if Ons wins, for so many reasons.

IceandIndigo · 08/07/2022 14:46

I’ll definitely be cheering for Ons, she’s lovely and so enjoyable to watch, but I think if Elena plays the way she did yesterday she will win.

Raahh · 08/07/2022 14:54

Ice I missed most of yesterday's match- but what I've seen of Elena, she has got better and better- and is fearless. She doesn't seem phased by the big matches.

It should be a good match.

And another new women's slam winner.

littlbrowndog · 08/07/2022 15:23

Break Norrie 😎

GrouchyKiwi · 08/07/2022 15:23

That's exactly the start I wanted Djokovic to have (sorry Juan).

GrouchyKiwi · 08/07/2022 15:29

Ah well. It was good while it lasted.

The children accidentally let our giant dog out so I've had to pretend to walk her to get her back home. Bloody dogs and children.

IceandIndigo · 08/07/2022 15:41

Woo-hoo! Norrie playing with plenty of spirit, so many people predicting Djok would simply thrash him.

It’s really hot in London today.

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2022 15:42

Come on Cam!

it looks very hot at Wimbledon - Djok not too keen in the heat - Cam is well prepared with his Adam Ant sunscreen Grin

GrouchyKiwi · 08/07/2022 15:45

Djokovic has been out of sorts all championships.

MarshaBradyo · 08/07/2022 15:45

Wow just looked come into Norrie!

Raahh · 08/07/2022 15:47

GrouchyGrin

My dog is being an utter pest today. And it's too hot to take him for a walk now.

I am not usually a Norrie supporter, I but obviously I don't want Djok to win.
And so far, he seems to be the more settled in.

So Come on Cam!

But I don't trust Djok- whether he looks 'not Djok-like' at the moment is neither her nor there. I've seen it too many times not to think he will come back.

Maybe Djok doesn't want to play Dick either- there's no points in it, and he doesn't need the money Grin

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2022 15:49

Have these commentators never seen a Djok match before Confused

Yes Raahh maybe Djok just doesn’t fancy the Kyrgios circus Grin

Raahh · 08/07/2022 15:49

Fizzy Djok will be wanting the roof shut.

GrouchyKiwi · 08/07/2022 15:51

He's just playing with him. My theory is he lets opponents take a set or two and then comes back to crush them, and then that makes it hard psychologically for the opponent next time they meet. Long-term Machiavellian planning.

Fizzywinegum · 08/07/2022 15:52

They’d better not shut the roof!

Come on Cam - maybe the crowd is bothering Djok?

IceandIndigo · 08/07/2022 15:52

Haha fizzy, exactly right. Don’t they remember the Sinner match?
