TENNIS thread - into the second week of Wimbledon

[Fizzywinegum]

new thread! Sorry for the unoriginal title

I know it's probably a massive ask for Flavio - but a girl can hope.
If Jannik isn't 100% and Ben beats him, I don't think Ben will beat Djok next round. .

I also would love either Mirra or Iga to win on the women's side. Iga is a bit vulnerable on grass- and Samsonova has been having a really good season so far. I don't really want a 3rd Aryna slam final. I value my ear drums.

BBC apologises after repeatedly using wrong name during Wimbledon match

Stupid man. It really got on my nerves all the way through the match- and he wasn't 'mispronouncing' it- it's a totally different name. Plus constantly referencing her father- who she isn't even in contact with . AC is a total twerp.

God AC is such an arsehole. Hardly mispronounced

He’s an idiot - it wasn’t a mispronunciation and the apology doesn’t say anything about why he kept referring to her estranged father

I’m on maternity leave and the baby is more interested in toys but she has started waving bye when the players walk off court 😂

Speaking of mispronunciation, Cabelly John?

I am sure he does it deliberately.

No, don't waffle Mac.

I love when he dobs people in, that damn agent

Mac has earned the right to give no shits about anyone.

Between him and Billie Jean, they just have no filters.

Doesn't sound good about Grigor .

I have to take DD2 to the doctors later, but I'm hoping not to miss too much.

Well done to Gordon and Alfie.

It was funny when they told Iga that Liudmila didn’t want to know who she was playing next and Iga said she would tell her

Watching centre court Andreeva v Bencic. I commentator said Mirra is holding onto her phone is she going to video it … she’s clearly listening to something.

I've a feeling I will be flipping between these two matches now. Iga has started well- but there's nothing to say Liudmilla won't come back .

I’m really not used to hearing Camilla referred to as Her Majesty the Queen.

Iga is going well.

Iga is very in charge now.

Mirra and Belinda are having a much closer match.

That was a weird discussion about wanting to get inside Carlos’ body

At least it was about a male player.

Oh, I've just seen that Foggy has had a pressconference to confirm his retirement. I am not surprised. But it is quite sad. End of an era.

That’s sad Raahh, but the match against Carlos was a splendid way to go out. Wishing him a happy life post tennis.

Am in the office so just scorewatching. Iga appears to be doing Iga things. Hope Mirra gets through her match ok.

Ice I still have to stop and think for a second whenever anyone says The Queen because I immediately think of Elizabeth II and then have to remind myself that they mean Camilla now!

It really was- he did not disgrace himself. Good luck to Fabio and his lovely family.

Come on Mirra
