Tennis: WIMBLEDON: second week

[JaneJeffer]

Oops we did it again

They usually only follow them back to the locker room after the final!

Why is the locker room so far away anyway?

Chessie I know-it did feel very 'final like'.
Very odd.

Elina put far too much pressure on herself

Yes, I thought it was very 'the final' aswell!
Well done Ons. Hope she goes one better on Saturday.
And Skupsi and Koolhof are in the doubles final. Come on Neal (and Wesley!)

I don't mind who wins the final

I don't really mind who wins the final either- they are both lovely, and playing very well.

I'm leaning slight more towards Ons.

Either way, the winner will another new name on the slam list for the woman.

She did, bless her. Understandable.

I have been reading the gransnet tennis thread. Very entertaining! They love Kyrgios! Someone then posts in the middle of the thread "Totally fed up of seeing Wimbledon advertised on the tv all and every day, not everyone likes tennis."

Sounds like my gran (she's 91). She likes Kyrgios and Djok.

I nod and smile and change the subject

Shockingly, I've realised my granny is nearly 93 which makes me feel old.

She likes Djok's hair and generally feels sorry for him.
She's also a Murray fan.

We have nothing in common, tennis wise, me and my granny

She likes Djok's hair

Annual complaint time: Are they ever going to get a decent uniform for the line judges? They're so unflattering.

Lol at all this

I know I’m the odd one out but I think Djok is an excellent player first and foremost, I admire his unbelievably strong mental balance

I mean I don’t love him though, and would really like to see someone challenge for the title

He is an excellent player.

I still don’t like him.

I'm never going to like him. He's far too devious.

Every time they show a man in the crowd with his arm across a woman's shoulders I want to fling it off. That would drive me mad!

DD1 was asking the same thing earlier. Are the shirts one sizes fits all (or no-one ) or something. None of them ever seem to get one that fits.

I had an Instagram thing come up where he talked about mental strength

That’s where I think he just kills it

Having said that I was pleased to see Alcaraz is actually world No 1

I've said before, that whereas I was not a Roger fan but totally appreciated the skill and talent- I just can't even do that with Djok. Everything about him annoys me.

If he was so mentally tough he wouldn't be so needy though Stefanos I just find him very insincere having watched his behaviour for all these years. I think it's why he's not popular but he just can't see it! No doubt he is an amazing player and it must be great to watch if you like him!

Sorry not read back but shared the photos of Rafa on holiday with DMum!

Having a lovely day - the Ons/Aryna match was great - really pleased that Ons won - the crowd were definitely on her side!

Had a Pimms - now onto the Prosecco - hic

The rains just arrived!
