Tennis: WIMBLEDON Final and beyond

[JaneJeffer]

Vamos Carlos!!

Foggy! And Stary eyes Albert.

I put the washing out and now I can see rain coming down the mountain grr

It hasn't stopped here all day. I have to go out in 10 minutes and I really don't want to .

Looks very hot in Switzerland - and Foggy is in all black like a ninja.

it's not helping him though- Albert is winning.

It's been fairly nice here since Sunday except for heavy rain during the night last night. Some parts of the country seem to be a washout.

I see Leo Borg has had his first ATP tour win at the Swedish Open

Catching up on some scores whilst sitting in the very wet car.

ADF lost in Bastad. Leo Borg ( son of Bjorn) won his match, all Swedish one that one
He beat Ella's Ymer.
I wish that wasin prime, they have a good draw. Casper plays tomorrow I think.

X post re Leo!

( lots of tennis players with sons called Leo- must translate well across languages).

Which tournament is Holger in? I'm confused with all these various things!

I'd like to be able to watch Newport as well. Maxime playing at the moment.

Holger has been doing Hopman cup promos today -I think he may be in that this week? Think it starts tomorrow- in Nice (hopefully it will be on tv somewhere!) I'd forgotten all about that.

Mikael Ymer- who beat Fritz at Wimbledon- has been banned for 18 months for missing drugs tests.
Why has he (obviously) been allowed to continue playing high profile events - he must have been under investigation? - and Halep is still waiting for any chance to defend her charges?

Stan is playing well against RCB- he's wearing the blue/orange stripey shorts kit that Ruud wore at RG. (Did Stan wear it there too?).

Heyyyyy! Macarena.

I'm glad they don't have music at Wimbledon. Crowd are bit miserable- no dancing

Thought Stan was singing, but I think he was chatting with the Umpire. RCB having a medical time out.

Sadly, RCG had to retire, injured. Which is a same.

That's it, thanks Raahh. Hopefully it will be on somewhere.

I always mix Mikael and Elias up with each other.

I do too. And that probably won't help Elias!

Mikael had a bit of a racquet smashing incident at a tournament a few weeks back.

I’m very jealous of all the Wimbledon players sharing their holiday photos on instagram. Or maybe I’m not given how hot it is in Europe at the moment.

DS1 seems to be surviving fine in the heat out there

I’ve only watched the first Boris programme and lost track of the wives already!

The Nobu broom cupboard incident gets quite a lot of coverage

Which channel/platform is the Boris thing on?

This is not me is it?

It’s on ITVX Jane

I still haven't watched- but I remember when it came out that Boris had a daughter- the genes are strong with that man- there was no way he could ever deny she is his!

Thanks Fizzy I'm going to have to wait until they show it somewhere else.

The Prime drama has an Irish actress in it whom I've never heard of. Doesn't sound very realistic having two Irish tennis stars at RG and Wimbledon but whatever! From the Irish Examiner:

"We filmed the French Open in Edinburgh and we filmed Wimbledon in Eastbourne. There was a court in Ealing where I trained. I was working in Ireland before [the shoot] and I trained in Trinity, one of the trainers brought me to the courts there.”
Did she discover any natural skills?
“I had a really good backhand. I struggled a bit with the forehand. And then the serve was just like ... it would drive you mad: ‘Why can’t I hit it?’”
