She's more entertaining than Serena when it comes to outfits Raahh Grin

Raahh · 03/08/2022 20:30

Jane I was thinking she is making tutus and capes look boring Grin
I haven't had chance to watch anything -I am trying to sort out school stuff, dd1's birthday, college stuff and panicking over the fact we are getting a new kitchen and (the week the dds go back to school/college) it is going to be really disruptive and I am in denial Grin

I'm getting confused by Kyrgios- last week he was supposedly injured/tired but still played doubles -and won, with Kokk. Beating Sock, in the semi final (who was with Rajeev Ram) But Nick is partnering Sock this week.

Hmm

They're not a loyal bunch, doubles players. Grin

We need a new kitchen but I haven't got round to doing anything about it yet. All the lockdowns were not kind to our kitchen and it was bad enough before!

Raahh · 03/08/2022 21:32

We rent our house from my mother- and we've lived here 18 years (about 15 years longer than we intended to). We have never really decorated and keep putting off doing the kitchen. It is tiny and we have nowhere to move anything to. Plus dh works from home- in the only space we can move things to.

I am still hoping for a lottery win, so I can just run away. Grin

Morning all! Haven't watched any tennis but just seen on Instagram Grigor wearing another godawful lovely outfit Confused
It really makes me yearn for Wimbledon whites!
Then I looked up posts and saw Ostapenko Shock

Dan vs Fritz later, plus his doubles about an hour later! More stunning order of play madness Confused

Raahh · 04/08/2022 09:45

kazza the kits are getting more and more bizarre! Grigor's was a strange pattern, and a horrible colour! (though not quite as random as the poo shorts).

Grigor and Jelena had better never get any idea to team up in doubles, it would be a visual nightmare. Grin

Grin Their opponents would need sunglasses Raahh. Perhaps* *it'sall a cunning plan, as Baldrick would say Grin

Raahh · 04/08/2022 13:31

It would certainly be distracting!

Don't like Taylor's facial hair Hmm

Mo drawing out the vowels and bigging up his part again, whilst wearing shorts!Grin

Raahh · 04/08/2022 20:35

I have been having issues with Prime all evening. I keep seeing bit and pieces so have given up.

I think Taylor is one of those baby faced types that just look even younger with facial hair. Goffin was always the same. When he was in his early 20s, the tache was fooling no-one Grin

Mo does like to build up his part Grin

When I did get the match to play, I was trying to work out what was on Dan's shirt- it's a little squiggle that looks like a chicken?

I think it's meant to be a lion's head. But it looks like a chicken from a distance.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 04/08/2022 21:00

Had to put it on for a look. He looks Amish. Better crowd today. Mo probably thinks they all came to see him.

Come on Dan!

JaneJeffer · 04/08/2022 21:12

It looks absolutely boiling there.

These ads during the breaks are cringeworthy.

Fizzywinegum · 04/08/2022 21:13

I really need to start watching the tennis again if only to check out Dan’s Amish chicken look and Mo’s shorts Grin

I quite admire Ostapenko’s out there fashion sense - she obviously doesn’t care what other people think (but she does look a bit of a fright!)

I also need to check out Grigor’s outfit and Taylor’s facial hair (and maybe watch a bit of tennis Grin)

JaneJeffer · 04/08/2022 21:15

No Fizzy. Taylor looks Amish. Dan looks Brummie Grin

Fizzywinegum · 04/08/2022 21:19

Grin I always thought Dan looked a bit Amish in his collarless shirts!

JaneJeffer · 04/08/2022 21:21

I can't make head nor tail of the logo. Maybe it's a map of Birmingham.

JaneJeffer · 04/08/2022 21:23

I'm just glad he's got a sponsor and doesn't have to buy his tops from Tesco anymore.

Raahh · 04/08/2022 21:28

Jane Grin might be a bull, in honour of the Commonwealth games.

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 04/08/2022 21:32

Yes Dan you cheer yourself on. Miserable lot.

JaneJeffer · 04/08/2022 21:33

A very abstract bull Raahh Grin

Raahh · 04/08/2022 21:38

JaneGrin

Maybe Rafa has dibs on the decent bull logo?

Poor Dan has make do with a Tesco lion/squiggle/chicken/bull

Well done Dan.
