Have a brilliant day, Fizzy- hope the weather stays dry.But not too warm. Drink lots- we don't want to hear of any disruptions on court 3 due to anyone passing out.

You've got some good matches- I'm very jealous, I love watching Jasmine and ADF and Andrey is always good value.
I hope Sonay wins too (hardly surprising the tv forgot about her!).

Raahh · 02/07/2025 10:49

Oh no, it's raining.

This is where they really need to look to starting the matches earlier on the show courts.

Naomi looks lovely.

ChessieFL · 02/07/2025 11:55

Has there been any play there yet? I’m in the office so can only score watching today but nothing showing up yet so assume it’s all rained off until the show courts get going?

It’s lovely weather here in Bristol!

Raahh · 02/07/2025 12:02

Originally they said 11.45, Chessie- but that didn't happen.
It's now saying 12.15.

Covers are coming off according to the Wimbledon Twitter feed.

I was truthfully very relieved to see the rain this morning but hopefully it stays away for you later Fizzy.

Apparently Oliver Tarvet exclusively goes by Ollie. He said people were shouting "Oliver!" in the stands during his last match and he thought it was his Mum telling him off Grin

I hope Sonay wins today, I was really impressed with her against Jelena.

I'm so glad Sonay beat ostapenko. I have women's finals tickets and when people ask who I'd like to see I said anyone but ostapenko. 😂

Fizzywinegum · 02/07/2025 12:19

No play yet - it’s still a bit drizzly - queuing to get in the Wimbledon shop - hopefully some tennis soon!

I’ll try not to cause any commotion on court 3 Raahh - can't say the same for my DM Grin

No Pimms yet although there seems to be quite a bit of champagne and Pimms drinking going on already

Raahh · 02/07/2025 12:22

Thanks for the update, Fizzy Grin
Don't spend all your money in the shop - probably best to not start drinking Pimms before the matches start (my days of being able to do that are long gone, I would be asleep by 12.30Grin).

bizzey · 02/07/2025 12:26

Ohh just seen hat Fizzy is there .
My weather input is ....
Technically the temperature has dropped, ...but still very very humid !

ChessieFL · 02/07/2025 12:34

Sorry you’re getting a damp day Fizzy - hopefully you will still get to see a decent amount of tennis.

Raahh · 02/07/2025 12:38

Meanwhile, Tim and Isa are giving us the Daily Emma Update.

Please let there be play soon.

RaraRachael · 02/07/2025 12:42

Typical. I've just finished my chores for the day ready to settle down for an afternoon of tennis and it's raining 😓

Raahh · 02/07/2025 12:46

John Lloyd's hair is looking quite bouffant.

Raahh · 02/07/2025 12:52

I hope, after all this waiting, they go to the match on no.1 court at 1pm when it starts - and don't carry on waffling and miss the first few games (like they usually do).

Fizzywinegum · 02/07/2025 12:56

The covers are off - the umpire is here, the ballkids are out - fingers crossed the players will be on soon

I’m sat on the side of the players chairs - hopefully I won’t be on the telly as my hair is not liking these humid conditions!

How many times has Emma walked down a corridor today?!

ChessieFL · 02/07/2025 13:00

Good spot Fizzy!

Raahh · 02/07/2025 13:12

Virgin has decided to stop working, and my tv is not playing ball.

Great timing. Could have done this 2 hours ago!

Raahh · 02/07/2025 13:21

I hate technology.Grin
Big Foe has his big necklace on again. It really does look like it could do serious injury.

Raahh · 02/07/2025 13:24

I've just noticed the colour of the towels- now, I think they are turquoise/ aquamarine green. (The Wimbledon shop describes them as aqua/sky).

Would Nike call them Burnt cactus?

I hope there is a discussion going on somewhere.

Raahh · 02/07/2025 14:05

Looks like Sonay is doing well.

IceandIndigo · 02/07/2025 14:18

Yay, well done Sonay.

MirandaWest · 02/07/2025 14:19

Great match from Sonay 😊

Raahh · 02/07/2025 14:20

Well done Sonay- looked like a pretty comprehensive win.

Fizzywinegum · 02/07/2025 14:27

Well done Sonay - I’ve got someone next to me mansplaining everything about tennis to his partner Hmm - he was also sat in our seats - I don’t like him!

ooh Rublev and Harris on now - also my favourite umpire Smile
