TENNIS: Wimbledon Quarterfinals

[JaneJeffer]

She was there the other day too, wearing a very unflattering jumpsuit.

Age before beauty!

It is nice they are all there together though.

Ah, didn’t see that. I knew the Middleton parents went at some point.

Banter!

I'm glad that they don't have that little old man carrying their big bags out on to court any more

I’m sure someone used to carry the bags for them.

No flowers for Djok and Carlos, then?

Or maybe that was the women, because they used to have to carry the pointless flowers they were given.

They did away with it at the same time as Bowing to the Royal Box

I think that Djok saw tv crew on him yesterday and started playing around on the treadmill !
I was hoping he'd fall off.
He is a brilliant player and won it all, but I can't bear him and I want the Spaniard to win it convincingly ! Come on Carlos..
Nick took on John Macs advice and made an effort today , looking good

I thought they had the bags carried on for the final too ?

What's the violin all about? What a pointless filler.

VAMOS CARLOS!

Vamos!

Bah. Andrew Castle. Although I think he is a Carlos fan?

That little man retired and wasn't replaced

I will laugh so much if Djok loses and the whole crowd pretends to be playing a tiny violin when he goes to collect the runner up trophy

Chessie

Can’t get the staff these days

I just want them all to boo.

Vamooooos.

or something.

Jelena bored already

I love love love Carlos. He's such a genuine smiley guy and I loved how he let Djok go first out the changing room and choose the colour for the toss even though he is the reigning champ
He's a true champion. I hope he wins. I find Djok unlikeable but I admire his record.

It's a shame I can't warm to Djokovic as he is a legend of the tennis world and helped out around the ground this week and no denying the talent , but his demeanor puts me off and he is so unlikeable at times and seems arrogant.
Carlos seems a proper sportsman and much more genuine
( not that I've met either of them and never will of course !)
Long first game here , I think it'll be a long match. Almost as long as yesterday's men's doubles , what a match that was !
