TENNIS: Wimbledon Quarterfinals

[JaneJeffer]

Yay! Barbora.

Come on Barbora!

Ours is a Rybakina household, but I'm enjoying this. Two good contests today. I hope the final is as good.

Come on Barbora (not that I don't like Elena).
Will be very torn by the final though- am a big fan of Barbora, but would love Jasmine to win a title. (Barbora does have a few).
With their doubles experience, it could be a really fun match.

Over 2 hours. I remember semis and finals in the women's that were over (disappointingly) in under an hour.

Yay! Well done Barbora.

Brilliant stuff.

Well done Barbora

Superb day.
Looking forward to the final! 😍

Well done, Barbora.

Elena is sweet. I like that she had a smile even though she lost the match.

Not Rishi asking the questions today then- funny that!

Martina will be thrilled to bits.

Well done Barbora. I’m looking forward to the final.

Oh God 🥹

Aww. Must be hard- Jana was her coach for a while and passed away before she won her first doubles slam title.

Well, I bet no-one put bets on this being the final.

Might have made some money.

That was very emotional, that interview.

I'm now watching two Kiwis in the mixed doubles. A rare treat.

Amazing, so happy for both finalists.
And great to have two really competitive semi finals. I really was expecting Elena to win the tournament, honestly not sure who will win now.

Barbora Krejcikova!
So happy for her.Went for a walk/run and came back to the last 2 games. I will have to watch it tomorrow. I like her. She has an innocence and honesty about her. And serves Rishi Pershad right. The way he asked in the post QF match interview about this game, it was as if BK was just going to be swatted away (a few people booed). What a match it will be. Lots of tricks in Barbora's Cabin and lots of tenacity from Jasmine. Fire and Ice.

Wow well done Barbora - it’s not a final that I was expecting but hopefully it will be a good one

Men's semis day. Hoping for eight hours of sunshine and spectacular tennis, ending with a Djok defeat. 👊
Don't mind who wins the first one!
Have already reminded my DH that dinner is very much as and when today. He knows that tennis is waaaaay more important than dinner- even if he doesn't agree! 😂

I don’t really mind who wins the first one, but if Djok gets through to the final then I feel Carlos has a better chance of beating him than Daniil.

Obviously hoping for a Lorenzo win for the second one!

Chessie Yes, even though both have beaten Djok in slam finals, I think at the moment, on grass, Carlos has the edge.

Everything crossed for Lorenzo. And I hope the Italian fans are in good voice .

Here's some pictures from yesterday. The last one is a screenshot from the tv coverage as you can see DD and me on that one - we’re at the top right and I have red hair with DD to my left 😊 (on the picture - on my right in real life )

We’ll probably be travelling back home when the first match is going on - maybe it will be a 5 day thriller! Still can’t quite believe how long the first semifinal was yesterday
