Really happy for Elina, that match was epic! Was really surprised and disappointed by the booing, how could you sit through such an amazing match and think that was an appropriate response Hmm

Well done Iga too, definitely out of sorts but found a way to win, what a champ.

What sort of stupid commentary is this? Bring back AC and Mac

It's probably not going to look great that the Beeb chose to show the Svitloina interview.

They have started the broadcast of many matches late this week- usually because Isa was wittering about something inane. Or the weather. They could have delayed this 5 minutes.

Raahh · 09/07/2023 20:56

*not to show

Raahh · 09/07/2023 20:57

Come on Hubi!

Raahh · 09/07/2023 20:58

They don't seem to have a courtside commentary 'whisper' spot at Wimbledon - which seems to have become a 'thing' at recent tournaments (with Tim 'whispering' up a set of stairs with Dani, mid matches).

I know- but they could have shown it then. If they had wanted to.

They wouldn't have skipped the interview if it was a Brit who had won- even if it delayed Djok.

Raahh · 09/07/2023 21:03

I think this may be a tougher match than the StanBear match. I am not sure it will be over by the curfew.
I mean, it could be.
Who knows Grin

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2023 21:04

The other day they missed the first three games of a match just talking rubbish. There's neither head nor tail to their broadcasting decisions.

They skipped Iga’s interview too to go over to Elina’s match, so it wasn’t just Elina’s interview they skipped.

Raahh · 09/07/2023 21:06

Jane I know. it's bonkers.

I'm not sure I will last more than a set of this.
Plus Djok is already getting on my nerves.

IceandIndigo · 09/07/2023 21:06

Did they not show Elina’s interview? I mainly just watch on the iPlayer, and they showed it. It was funny, she talked about Harry Styles Grin

IceandIndigo · 09/07/2023 21:07

Come on Hubi!

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2023 21:08

Nick is annoying me. Come on Hubi!

I was flipping between the two matches on iplayer on my phone, so saw Elina being interviewed. She was asked about the Harry Styles tickets she gave away and was fan-girling, hoping he would see and give her some more tickets, I think Grin

Stupid, uneducated crowd at the end. I'm guessing they thought Vika walked off court without shaking hands but she knew Elina wouldn't and so acknowledged her from afar and left. I like Vika (despite her noise!) and felt sorry for her.

Yes fizzy I'm* *going tomorrow, Court 1. So Danii, Sabalenka (who I'm really not fussed about seeing) and then Grigor, who I hope wins. I know I'm in the minority but I'm really not keen on Rune. Would have loved to have seen Carlos vs Matteo and Ons vs Petra but it was blindingly obvious they would be on Centre Court.

Obviously, I'm not watching Cock but I hope Hubi can come up with some magic. If he can't win (he won't Sad) I hope he at least extends the match past tonight, just to inconvenience Djok.

kazzaD66 · 09/07/2023 21:16

Iga interview also on iplayer

Raahh · 09/07/2023 21:25

kazza it really is a crowd issue. Anyone who has bothered to watch tennis over the last year, will know the position of the Ukranian players. Some choose not to shake hands, but do 'tap racquets' . Most do nothing. Yet it's not the first time they've decided to boo the opponent.

I like Vika - she doesn't mince her words, and is no stranger to controversy, she will probably have something to say in her press conference.

I saw something about Elina giving away her Harry Styles tickets Grin

Have a great time tomorrow- hope the weather is ok!

Raahh · 09/07/2023 21:31

Come on Hubi!

JaneJeffer · 09/07/2023 21:33

God I would love to see Holger kazza lucky you!
