Tennis: WIMBLEDON Final and beyond

[JaneJeffer]

Vamos Carlos!!

Good luck to Stan later, who has reached his first final in 4 years in Croatia. Beat Sonego in the semi final, so that's not too shabby.

I've just been watching him conducting the crowd

The F1 preamble is excruciating. Don't know if I will be able to steal the telly back for the tennis.

I did it

Mo's going to have a nice paycheque from Hamburg

I feel like my hair would be right at home in Germany

Yeek

Come on Sascha!

i have missed most of the first set then - we are finally getting around to re-painting rooms after ds moved out. I can't keep saying 'but tennis is on' - because it's always on

And Sascha has the set then.

Looks quite close, points wise those.

Sascha is 6ft 6. and German. who knew?!

Lazlo having a bit of a moment then.

Well done Sascha.

Haven’t managed to watch any tennis this week but have been enjoying your updates! I would have liked to have seen Mo in the Big Top (in his ringmasters outfit!) Bet he was loving it

Went to see Oppenheimer today which is good but long (and very loud!) Also went to see Barbie the other night - I’m still not quite sure what I thought of it - might need to see it again!

At the cinema there was a trailer for a tennis film coming out in September - I can’t remember what it was called but had someone in it who looked like Emma Radacanu who was in some sort of love triangle with young Prince Charles from the Crown and someone else - DH told me not to bother getting him a ticket

Actual tennis is much better than tennis dramas/films (maybe Tsitsidosa will make a programme!)

I’ve seen gossip that Djok will retire very soon - appears to be based on comments made by his family. Can’t see it personally as he’s still playing well and doesn’t appear to have the injuries that Roger and Rafa had/have. Probably just more mind games from him!

I can't see that happening Chessie. Maybe his software needs upgrading.

Poor Stan crying at the presentation because he felt he let his fans down

Well done Sascha. He's come so far since this time last year. I didn't get to see the second set.

The weather here is atrocious!

I saw that video Jane
Poor

Watched a bit of Dan and Andy's match vs Krajiek and Pavic. Good win, may be the first win for Dan since April?? Would be good if that gives him confidence for the singles. Although he'll probably manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again

Good win for Liam over Moutet, who kept losing it again. He got docked a point in the first set tiebreak for his second warning for racquet abuse, at 0-5 down, so then 0-6 down, so served underarm and lost the point and the set. Thought for a minute he was going to do a Gaston and retire!

Did anyone see the interview with Andy where Tiafoe was standing right behind him, breathing in his ear, and Andy somehow didn't realise!!

That was hilarious kazza

An actual Viking

I love Casper the Viking .

Have missed everything since Sunday afternoon when I ended up in hospital with kidney stones (serves me right for feeling smug it was 3 years since the last one). Going in to have it zapped this morning- feel absolutely awful. Its amazing how something so tiny can make you so ill!!

Oh no Raahh hope you feel better soon

Viking Casper’s ‘furs’ are looking a bit manky - think they could do with a dry clean!

Still haven’t watched any tennis - I can’t seem to work out which tournaments are happening and when

Poor Stan crying in his post match interview

On the Tennis podcast they were saying that there will be video reviews for some disputed calls - bet Mo can’t wait for that!

At least you’re not missing out on the summer weather Raahh - it’s awful here - I’m fed up of it!

The video review thing will be used at the US Open - my brain’s not working today!

Fizzy I am very fed up with the weather -it hasn't stopped raining at all. And I'm getting fed up living in a house that is completely upside down- since dh took time off to decorate and now everything has just been abandonned.

At least we are at that stage where the tennis is on at US time- so I don't feel like I'm missing out too much

Yes the move to the US tennis season always confuses me with all the time differences!

Here's a picture of Daniel Altmaier wearing a T-shirt with ADF on it to cheer you up Raahh. Why he's wearing it I have no idea! Hope you feel better soon.
