Well done Katie Boulter

IceandIndigo · 02/07/2024 18:33

Well done Katie.

StripedPiggy · 02/07/2024 18:33

Well done Katie!

She grew up in the next village to where I live, so I’m delighted that the local girl is doing so well. Not sure what happened to her accent, though. She doesn’t sound very Leicestershire, mi duck.

Fizzywinegum · 02/07/2024 18:37

Well done Katie - not sure what’s going on with Jack

There are still a lot of matches to finish - wonder if they’ll put anyone on court no 1? Maybe Norris? Grin

I don’t think the rain delay helped Paul Jubb Ice - he did show a lot of promise though

Another Brit, someone Fearnley is through but has got Djok next

I keep watching matches that then end about 5-10 minutes later.

But I tidied the living room earlier on plus everyone except the cat is out so I can sit in relative luxury and enjoy the tennis.

ChessieFL · 02/07/2024 19:19

Sometimes when I hear Katie speak she sounds faintly Australian so she’s obviously picking up Alex’s accent!

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 19:23

Yep she has got an Aussie twang Grin

Well done Holger, hope I get to see his next match!

Your DD seems very stoic Raahh it can't be easy for her

I've been in and out keeping an eye on Stef. He looks likely to win.

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 19:26

Which he has just done. Well done Stef!

Raahh · 02/07/2024 19:32

Jane thank you, yes, she takes it all in her stride (and the thought of going in hospital for surgery really didn't appeal at the moment- she's made plans for the summer Grin).

I can't seem to get very enthused by much this evening . Not sure why. Jack seems to be doing ok, but I'm not sure the match needs Mac, AC and Tim to commentate on it Grin .

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 19:37

Claire has landed

Raahh · 02/07/2024 19:47

WHY are they swapping channels? There is no actual reason for it. And they aren't going straight to the match we were watching on BBC2 either, annoyingly. And no, we don;t need another 20 minute discussion on Murray dropping out for anyone who doesn't know, Claire. Just show the bloody match Claire.

Raahh · 02/07/2024 19:48

Yes, let's rejoin it.

Bloody hell. What was all that waffle for??

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 02/07/2024 19:50

Watching the Dan Evans match and the commentator just said people come to Wimbledon for the sun Hmm.

Really? I thought they came for tennis, how silly of me.

Raahh · 02/07/2024 19:51
Hmm Well, we don't listen to Wimbledon for the great commentary, that's for sure Grin

Costa del Wimbledon Grin

MirandaWest · 02/07/2024 19:56

Just discovered Ons on court 14

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 19:57

I get mixed up between the Ymer brothers. Was it Mikael who had the bad fall at Wimbledon a few years ago? And by a few years I could mean anything!

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 20:00

Football starting any second now

Raahh · 02/07/2024 20:02

Jane I always get them mixed up- I do know that Mikael is regretting his knee jerk reaction to 'retire' due this doping ban, and may be planning to return. Not sure if he will.

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 20:05

I think he's banned until some time next year? I wonder if he came to watch his brother.

GrouchyKiwi · 02/07/2024 20:05

Hello, all. Joining you for my annual "I do care about tennis, I promise" week.

We're watching the Draper match. He looks like he and Elena Rybakina could be siblings. Just pop a blonde plait on him.

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 20:06

Yeah funny that innit

Yes, He's got about 6-7 months left,- he posted something on SM a couple of months back that 'retirement was boring- see you in 8 months' Grin

JaneJeffer · 02/07/2024 20:07

Hi Grouchy is it just the deadpan expression?

Raahh · 02/07/2024 20:09

It's always amazing how Djok's injuries and surgeries never bother him when the big stage beckons, Jane.

But the excuse is there- in case he does lose.

He turns up with his neck brace/knee bandage/ tubigrip on hamstring- and still manages to win.

it's miraculous.
