Tennis: WIMBLEDON Final and beyond

[JaneJeffer]

Vamos Carlos!!

the genes are strong with that man- there was no way he could ever deny she is his!
It was so funny how much she looks like him

It’s a bit tabloidy but quite interesting - especially the teeny tiny shorts from 1985! Also Tim Mayotte looking sort of the same but not! (Many years later!)

I’d almost forgotten that he’d been Djok’s coach - I’m sure he could make a few million selling that story!

He does have very strong genes Raahh - that tabloid picture of his daughter is just Boris!

He’s made a lot of mistakes in his life and I suppose it all caught up with him in the end

The Prime drama sounds erm interesting Jane

Considering all his money woes, I've always thought he must have signed a cast iron NDA, Boris, because he would never be drawn on any gossip regarding Djok. And there must be some- in the 2016/17 period something went on.

And AC tried to get stuff out of Boris- a lot!

I'm happy to say that the GAA has never deviated from the short shorts

If Boris spilled the beans on Djok he would have more than prison to worry about IMO!

Oh probably- a whole fig cult would be after him.

I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of Novak!

There was no sign of Marian Vajda at Wimbledon this year. He's usually around for the grass season.

I can't keep up with whether Marian is 'in' or out of the 'magic circle' Jane these days.

We need to save Goran.

Yes we need to do an intervention on Goran!

Has anyone seen the video on Wimbledon insta of Marketa being interviewed at the Champions Ball?
My first reaction is - wtf is AC doing there, interviewing her? How did the tosser get past security?
Then I read the comments. They can't all be on this thread

I’ve just had a quick look kazza - I was also wondering why he was at the Wimbledon Ball!

I think we’re quite kind to him compared to some of those comments. Richard Madeley crossed with Alan Partridge - why have I never thought this before?

I saw a montage of the party, and thought I saw AC- there have been some brutal comments about him recently- but clearly people are catching up with us, and realise how useless he is .

I almost feel sorry for him.

(He is still better than Isa- but it's close).

I can't even look at a photo of Richard Madeley, let alone hear his voice fizzy
Same* *with Jeremy Vine.

Please don't be tempted to feel sorry for him Raahh. You* *didthat once before with Cock. And look how that turned out

my DMum can’t stand Jeremy Vine (or anyone really!) - I seem to get more like her every day - we were both having a rant about Clare Balding the other day!

I think AC is fairly harmless - he’s OK at rambling on in the background but I think we need someone with a bit more technical knowledge (other than what so and so’s neighbour down the road does for a living)

I suspect he’s got a fairly think skin (hopefully!)

thick skin!

I learnt my lesson with that one definitely!

Really, AC should be good at the whole presenting thing- he's done live shows for a long time. He doesn't really take himself too seriously, and is very aware he was not the best tennis player ever.

It's just a shame he's a bit hopeless at the thing he's meant to be doing -i.e talking about tennis, and when he's with people who do know their stuff, it really shows. .

it's a bit like Claire really. I don't mind Claire s much as some - she's a safe pair of hands presenting live events- she was fine doing the Olympics, and TAW, in previous years. I'm not sure she's suited to the 'main' Wimbledon gig.

Thiem match now- and we have 'Rock Me Amadeus' by Falco playing.

Not sure if that's a coincidence or not.

Can someone at least tell.me what to google wrt to Djok. and 2016/17?

Pretty please! 😍

it's nothing very exciting, just pondering- it was the period (after winning the French Open) that his form dropped off a cliff- and he went from being very comfortably ranked 1 in the world in June, to losing the number by November. Boris was always very cagey when asked about Djok- (they split at the end of the 2016 season) there were suggestions he didn't do very much practice at the time. I think something went on behind the scenes, but Boris isn't saying .

Weren’t they the double denim years with rumours of a friendship with a Bollywood actress (allegedly!)?

I remember the wilderness years when we felt sorry for him (never again!)

Would love Boris to spill the beans but don’t think even he’s that daft!

Fuzzy yes, he was seen leaving a restaurant, wasn't he? - and by September 2017, Djok and Jelena had a second child.
He was injured in 2017, with his elbow and yes I foolishly, by 2018 was starting to feel sorry for him. And look how that turned out .

Yes we should have known then not to feel any sympathy for him - I think he tried to cure his elbow with some magic water or something and then realised he needed surgery - silly man!

Yes, I think it was around then that all the stuff about hugging fig trees and consulting gurus came out. And he became gluten-free.

Early 2016 was when Maria Sharapova failed a drugs test because a drug changed status to banned and her team seemed to have missed the memo on that!

Seems the Hopman Cup is only on the Tennis Channel unless you're in France like magi and can get it on L’Équipe TV
