Wimbledon Week 2 continues

[JaneJeffer]

Kate looks the business.

Tom Cruise!

Jane or one of his clones Over the past month or so, he's been everywhere

It's sad that Ons' parents can't get a visa to see their daughter play in the Wimbledon final!

😁😁😁 I think it's the clone. The one who looks better in a suit and can sit still without being weird for 2 hours

I love Kate's dress she really stands out in the Royal Box

I want Jabeur because she is such an inspiration, especially to woman in the Arab world. I'm sure I read somewhere that as a child she learnt in hotel tennis courts as her local club didn't have their own.

Argh, what a shame that Rybakina's game has fallen apart. I want a good, strong match. Take the second set, Elena!

I want a proper match too. I thought Rybakina's serve woujd be the dominant factor but evidently not (yet at least)

I don’t even know who I want to win tomorrow - they should just bring Rafa back and give him the trophy!

Ons coping better with the heat I think.

Sorry that was supposed to be in reply to And - it didn’t really work

Unfortunately, the womens' finals in the 15 years or so, have had a tendency to be one sided. Last year's was the first in nearly 10 years to go to 3 sets.

FIzzy my only reason (if I had to choose) for a Nick win tomorrow, would be to stop Djok catching up with Rafa in the slam count.
But I really can't stand him, and still think he should have been chucked out last week.

And if Djok wins he will do the arm thing, and be unbearably smug.

In my mind Rafa v Taylor was the final.

Yes I read this and agree!

I do think Elena takes longer to settle into a match- so this might not be a straightforward one..

Jane it had all the elements of a final- and went to the wire.Had a great come-back, drama. So yes, that can be our final It was even on the anniversary of Rafa beating Roger in 2008.

Isn’t Djokovic’s thing to eat the grass or something?

I suppose it doesn’t clash with any of his healthy eating beliefs at least…

Yes TheOnly - hope he doesn’t eat any of the grass that the sniffer dogs have been on! He’s a strange one!

TheOnly he does the 'love me' arm gesture to the crowd when he wins a match. And he does eat the grass.
But he's not the GOAT

I think Djok needs a new celebration where he gives two fingers to the crowd for booing him. Would be great.

Fizzywe say every year that he might eat the grass the sniffer dog has been on

I mean, the grass has had shoes all over it any way

Instead of being desperate for approval, Djok needs to lean into the panto villain role. I'd like him more if he did.

This is more of a struggle, this set.

Well, another topsy turvy women's match to finish the fortnight seems fair.

Grouchy it worked for Medvedev - he was in real bother in the US Open in 2019- by the end of the tournament, they loved him .

The panto villain thing works well for him.

Elena has got the measure of Ons now.

So it will all come down to nerves in the final set now.

I'm glad it's not a quick match.

I do still want Ons to win, but am glad Elena is making a match of it.
