Well done Machac (and his dodgy shorts) - at least Goffin had a chance even if he blew it - he never seems to look any different

Machac doesn't even get an interview, winning his match out on court 8.

He would have done on Centre!

He always looked so young- even growing facial hair didn't really help much. Grin

That was a nice shot up Osaka's skirt there as she was sat down Mr camera man 🙄.

Well done Tomas

Double bounce controversy in Naomi's match!

Raahh · 03/07/2024 17:38

Bianca Andreescu has won- I really like her, another one who has has had a lot of injuries after winning a slam, but she always seems so lovely.

Raahh · 03/07/2024 17:44

Play suspended outside again- everyone rushing off on the Sakkari match.

Fizzywinegum · 03/07/2024 17:48

The weather is very frustrating!

Emma just win ger first set easily

Andreescu’s dog Coco gets a lot of mentions on the Tennis Podcast Raahh - it’s good to see her doing well after all of her injuries

I remember her dog having their own pass at the US open Grin

Wimbledon need to do a programme dedicated entirely to players and their dogs/pets.

They can show it, in the rain delays. Instead of us having to listen to Isa and John Lloyd droning on.

Raahh · 03/07/2024 17:53

Claire has taken to her role as the 'Voice of Doom' really well, hasn't she?

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 03/07/2024 18:04

I've don't remember the weather being this rubbish for Wimbledon fortnight before. It doesn't look much better next week either.

I thought the whole point of them moving it a week was because the weather is usually better.

ChessieFL · 03/07/2024 18:07

No, they moved it to have more of a gap between the French Open and Wimbledon.

We were lucky not having any rain on Monday.

ChessieFL · 03/07/2024 18:09

They must have been reading this thread - they’ve moved Paolini’s match onto No 1 Court after Emma

I want to see all of the players dogs and cats who are called Rafa Grin - bet there aren’t many called Novak!

Well done Emma. Very strong performance.

Fizzywinegum · 03/07/2024 18:24

Well done Emma - Clare will have her winning the whole thing now!

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 03/07/2024 18:25

And well done the other Emma!

Fizzywinegum · 03/07/2024 18:26

The crowd are saying who? Grin

OP posts:
Raahh · 03/07/2024 18:26

The rain is causing problems, because it is really just light rain /drizzle, so hard to guage how long they will be off court for- and now they are all back out after barely being off court for long at all. Keeping the ground staff fit, pulling the covers on and offGrin

Felix AA in a tricky 5 set match now against Kokkinakis.

IceandIndigo · 03/07/2024 18:26

We should definitely run the tournament Chessie Grin

JaneJeffer · 03/07/2024 18:27

Sloane Stephens has been beaten by a 20 year old Russian

IceandIndigo · 03/07/2024 18:27

Happy for Emma.

No- you never hear of any player they have named their pet rattle snake, Novak, do you? Grin
