TENNIS: Wimbledon Quarterfinals

[JaneJeffer]

Love you Lore

he hasn't really played 100% so far, so I really hope he is absolutely fired up on Sunday.

Lorenzo will be back. 💖

He's being booed!

Well done Lorenzo - he played well

Vamos Carlos for Sunday

I've switched over. Don't want to hear him.

Meh. See y'all tomorrow.

I think he is great. Pantomime baddie is right and there has to be respect for getting over the knee injury - he must be a robot

ND’s speech is entirely different tonight - brought up in a war zone, the years of support from his wife. A lot more measured after the awful display in the QF.
What a performance from Lorenzo - let’s hope he keeps getting better and better.
But I’m here for the Alcaraz win. His game is not perfect right now, but his joy is infectious.
I have enjoyed Nick Kyrgios’ commentaries very much and I’m really looking forward to the Women’s tomorrow.

He's not human - the Spock ears are getting more pronounced

Lovely soothing sleeveless footage of Rafa in Bastad on his Instagram 😍

Yes, I am looking forward to that next week (bloody Sky has better be showing it!).

I was asking DH what I will do next week when Wimbledon has finished and now I know (hopefully Sky will cooperate)

I predicted it right! An Alcaraz/Djokovic final. I may have got a couple of the previous rounds winners incorrect (I had Murray getting to 4th round then he withdrew😂) but I got the finalists right.

Apparently Princess of Wales will be presenting the trophy tomorrow. Wonder who it will be today? I saw Duchess of Gloucester mentioned as a possibility earlier this week.

I wish Kate had chosen the women's final instead of the men's, but maybe the extra day is necessary to feel OK.

Maybe Charlotte can present the trophies today.

I like the Duchess of Gloucester.

I’m watching the invitation doubles - Barty/Dellaqua v Konta/Vandewegh. They seem to be having lots of fun out there!

William's at the football tomorrow too.

Sadly the men's is always the more prestigious, you can guarantee centre court will be filled go the rafters with celebs tomorrow.

William's at the football tomorrow too.
Aha now it makes sense. If you're going to the football then I'm going to the tennis. It's their version of fighting over the telly.

The other thread was bonkers. People really will find anything to pick on. Even the players chairs at Wimbledon aren't safe.

I usually complain about the uniforms but I thought they looked better this year. Maybe I'm just getting used to them!

Agree the other thread is completely bonkers, wooden chairs, cushions, cool boxes.

The problem with the uniform is it's unisex (bar the skirt) so the trousers are made for a man. The blazer has the buttons on the male side. So it won't look as good on the women.

The blazer is almost £1000 though, I had a look as I quite like it.

It is a rather bonkers thread. Whatever outfit they choose for the lines people/umpires/ball kids there will be someone it doesn’t suit. I think they all look very smart personally.

Well done Diede!
