Raahh - if you are Clare, stop moving channels!!

Raahh · 10/07/2024 19:01

It's all gone downhill since Sue left.

Even (our) Boris got himself trussed up in a suit, even though he always looked red faced and uncomfortable .
For a tournament that would previously not even let players where dark underwear, I am surprised that they don't have rules for the media/presenters too, regarding dress codes.

They probably do, and he ignores them.

Barbora is still playing in her doubles match.

Rishi asks stupid questions.

JustAVeryWeirdWoman · 10/07/2024 19:14

I can't believe I'm about to say something nice about Nick Kyrgios, but he is actually a decent commentator. He should stick to that and never return to playing.

Very happy for Musetti's victory, and I also think he has a better (if very very slim) chance in the semis than Fritz whose h2h with Djoko is 0-9.

BTW why do people on here dislike Djokovic (who admittedly is a bit of a cartoon villain) but seem to like Zverev (who is an actual villain and all-around horrible person)? Seems weird.

Fizzywinegum · 10/07/2024 19:18

Wonder if Emma’s watching …

Rishi does ask dumb questions - I’m glad that Barbora was like well I don’t know what it would be like to play Rybakina in the semis

Thought I was going to have to provide taxi service for DH and DS2 to watch the footy but they’ve got a lift - so I can watch more tennis - yay!

CrushingOnRubies · 10/07/2024 19:23

Forget Wednesday's are bell practice night at Wimbledon

Kyrigos does admittedly come across as knowledgeable about tennis

Raahh · 10/07/2024 19:26

Sadly, Barbora and Laura have lost- but they never gave up.

Rishi's question to Barbora was so stupid- and rude- it's not like she isn't a (multiple) slam champion in her own right.

CrushingOnRubies · 10/07/2024 19:29

When Rishi is mentioned on this thread I immediately think our ex pm has already got a job at Wimbledon...

Grin Sorry- I probably need to clarify- the way we do with (our) Boris.

What is it with tennis and politician crossovers. Grin

kazzaD66 · 10/07/2024 19:34

Just put Skupsi and Krawczyk on and it's bloody AC again! He's been everywhere today Angry

Talking of being everywhere has reminded me of the opposite. Has anyone seen Mo or Aurelie at Wimbledon Confused

CrushingOnRubies · 10/07/2024 19:37

Raahh if you put boris in a tennis context I'd know exactly who you mean. And when BJ came on to the scene it was almost the opposite

kazzaD66 · 10/07/2024 19:50

Watching a bit of Clijsters/Hingis vs Robson/Hantuchova on Court 18, whilst they close the roof on No1 Court.

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2024 20:08

I've seen Aurelie but not Mo (or Fergus)

OP posts:
kazzaD66 · 10/07/2024 20:36

I've seen Fergus but only on outside courts!

MirandaWest · 10/07/2024 21:29

DD and I are off to Wimbledon tomorrow to see the ladies semi finals (and also see as much other tennis as we can).

JaneJeffer · 10/07/2024 21:39

Have a lovely day Miranda - photos welcome!

Fizzywinegum · 10/07/2024 21:50

Have a great time Miranda - I think the weather forecast is looking good for tomorrow (Feli is on one of the outside courts if you’re interested)

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 11/07/2024 05:36

I’m going today with my son. Men’s doubles semi finals.

ChessieFL · 11/07/2024 05:45

Have a good day Miranda and SpeckledyHen!

Raahh · 11/07/2024 08:25

I am firmly plonked in front of BBC1 today having missed most of yesterday.
At the moment - Carol Kirkwood sporting leopard print. And Marion Bartoli! 🥰

ChessieFL · 11/07/2024 13:03

I’m watching the invitation doubles on iPlayer - Bahrami’s playing and he’s always entertaining.
