Pfft. Not sticking around to hear Djok's interview.

Hopefully being on Centre Court (because it's bound to be ) will spur Holger on in their match.

heldinadream · 06/07/2024 21:37

Feck indeed. So close. Pop is brilliant.

JaneJeffer · 06/07/2024 21:39

Holger knows he is able to beat him so hopefully he'll do it again!

Just caught up with Andy's farewell, have to say I shed a little tear. I remember watching him when he first broke out and thinking how sulky he was back that.

Loved the story about him being sick in front of Kim. What a classy guy 😂.

Takes a brave person to tell a personal vomit story in public.

(I know because I told one about me to an exes family. I regret it! The idea of telling the whole world...😂)

Not seen any tennis today - it looks as if it’s been a busy one with a few upsets (unfortunately not the one I wanted!)

I could do with an old style Today at Wimbledon to catch up on everything

Eurosport do a Wimbledon roundup each night

Raahh · 07/07/2024 11:02

Ugh. More rain.

And probably still no plans to start play on the show courts early.

Bonkers.

Fizzywinegum · 07/07/2024 11:18

Thanks Jane -I didn’t manage to catch up on any of yesterday’s play - the only time I wanted to watch TAW and I couldn’t find it anywhere!

Just watching Isa um and er and mispronounce names. She still hasn’t got a clue about tennis - it’s an uncomfortable watch - Laura Robson is good though

Its ridiculous that they’re not starting earlier on the show courts Raahh - they must have seen the weather forecast - sort it out Tim!

oh dear they’re talking about Emma not playing doubles with Andy - I bet Emma is no longer on Judy’s Christmas card list! It’s like Mac and Steffi all over again (I still don’t think that Mac has forgiven her!)

Thundery showers and up to 90% chance of rain according to BBC weather. Both roofs on all day I reckon.
Was annoying yesterday stopping to open then stopping to close again not much later. Silly lack of planning or pandering to someone's preferences?

JaneJeffer · 07/07/2024 11:29

Pandering to the people with the money @heldinadream

I watched the highlights hoping to see Holger but they didn't even show him pfft

Raahh · 07/07/2024 11:35

Fizzy Isa seemed a whole lot happier talking football, than she has done all week discussing the tennis. Laura is very confident in her role- and not just as a former player, I think it's just the way she is. Not everyone can do it- Laura was great as a 'roving reporter' at AO and RG- she's a natural around other people.

IPlayer coverage the last couple of days has been inadequate IMHO.
Too much else going on I guess but I've definitely not been able to find matches I've been interested in.
Makes me 😠

Raahh · 07/07/2024 11:43

I am not sure why they bothered to open the roofs, when the forecast was still really sketchy- it was stop/start all day.

It gave Popyrin a good start, as it was quite breezy .I get they wanted to at least attempt an 'outdoor' match, but yesterday was not the day to guarantee that. Closing the roof was always going to help Djok, though, really.

xxSideshowAuntSallyxx · 07/07/2024 11:50

I don't get why when they have two courts with roofs they just don't move some of the other matches on to them. They'll be done by the time the first official centre court match gets started. They still have the wheelchair matches to play later in the week too so all this will have a knock on effect to those matches.

Add in the way the BBC are treating the viewers by constantly switching channels, and moving a match to iPlayer at a crucial stage to make way for football build up. Wimbledon is starting to lose its sparkle.

IceandIndigo · 07/07/2024 11:55

I’m in North London so nowhere near SW19, but the weather is really windy and squally. Looks like it’s not due to fine up until late afternoon unfortunately. And more rain forecast in the coming days Confused

JaneJeffer · 07/07/2024 12:00

I just put BBC2 on now and they're showing Holger

JaneJeffer · 07/07/2024 12:06

Some interesting hats around. How to make sure you get on the telly.

Raahh · 07/07/2024 13:21

Jasmine has started well. She's really taken to the grass courts this year.

IceandIndigo · 07/07/2024 13:26

I really like Jasmine, she’s a great competitor. Paula and Donna look like sisters.

Raahh · 07/07/2024 13:33

Carlos is now warming up to play Humbert- so suddenly don't know what to watch Grin.

Will stick with Jasmine for now.

IceandIndigo · 07/07/2024 13:37

Ugo has such lovely hair, I think he normally wears a cap?

Raahh · 07/07/2024 13:39

Yes, I think he probably does- don't often see him not wear one to play. Maybe it's because of the roof?

Fizzywinegum · 07/07/2024 13:41

Oh it’s raining again - Donna and Paula do look very similar - they’ve gone off now

I like Jasmine as well

I think I might watch a bit of Carlos - I’ve got to go out in a bit - I’m hoping that I’ll be back in time to see Sinner v Shelton - I’m trying to work out the possible timings

OP posts:
Raahh · 07/07/2024 13:47

Jasmine seems to have this in hand, so I think I will watch a bit of Carlos. She is so positive and bouncy. I do like Madison, though. But really want Jasmine to continue her run.
