TENNIS: Wimbledon Quarterfinals

[JaneJeffer]

Thanks Jane!!

Thanks Jane.

Daniil and Donna seem to have the edge in each match now.

Is quarterfinals all one word? My phone thinks so but I'm not sure!

I remember them going into a third week in the 80s at some point, maybe more than once where there was too much rain as I can remember coming back from school and it was on.

Thank you Jane

I’m doing that annoying thing of flicking between both matches and not really watching either - is Sinner injured? I saw him slip a few times

Wow - just flicked over to the women’s match and Vekic is going to be serving for the match in the next game

I've stuck with the women. Amazingly DS2 has watched some with me and asked questions about it!

Well done Donna! She will have to handle the nerves for the semi

Well done Lulu, you've been great

Wasn't it into a third week the year Ivanisovic won or is my brain conflating memories?

And thanks for new thread @JaneJeffer ! 😉

In 1988 Edberg won on the third Monday as it rained on the Sunday.

Well done Donna (and Lulu) - maybe ditch the long sleeve top for the next round Donna - she seems very overwhelmed

DS1 admitted that he liked watching Wimbledon the other day Jane

That's right @heldinadream I was off work for some reason so got to see him. It was great.

The top definitely needs to go. She looks roasted.

Yes Goran won on the third Monday - I’m not sure which year but I remember having a dentist appointment and rushing back to watch the match

Goran won in 2001

Yes! Probably my top Wimbledon moment ever. I'd wanted him to win for years, even when he was against Tim who I always found so bloody tedious. 😬

In fact I videoed it and I probably only chucked that video out this year (decluttering to move house).

Today is the anniversary

Still bloody love Goran. 💖

I'm glad he's got his freedom now

It was great when Goran won. I was disappointed it went to the Monday though as I had to go to work so couldn’t watch it properly!

I really liked Pat Rafter too though
