TENNIS thread - into the second week of Wimbledon

[Fizzywinegum]

new thread! Sorry for the unoriginal title

OK, which one of you started this thread?!

Ha!

Obviously not me, but I vented my frustrations here.

We have been aware of AC's knob-ish tendencies for years. The BBC still keep giving him work.

I was hoping that this might have made him have a think about his behaviour/knobbishness but the non apology seemed to show that he/the BBC didn’t think there was an issue - he’s so self unaware!

I don’t seem to be able to do emojis any more so I’m not sure if they’re showing or not

The bees are back on the flowers - they are perilously close to Annabel!

Fizzy - it's really poor that there does't seem to have been an apology from AC himself.
And the comments on that article say it all really, as they don't think there's any issue, and it's all blown out of proportion.

Nice to see Dani in the match pre-amble.

Not me Chessie, but they're definitely not being unreasonable!

Oh no please don’t sting Annabel. I love her

All this Djokovic hate reminds me of my hatred of Erling Haaland. A face only a mother could love.

Aww, Belinda's little girl is cute.

Great picture of Nastia Pavlyuchenkova at her press conference the other day- she turned up wearing a strawberry covered beanie hat- swigging a bottle of stella.

(She is also wearing a Nirvana 'Nevermind' t-shirt, just to make the whole thing even better ).

My kind of girl - oh I think they’re back! You will just have to imagine the emojis I was trying to use about AC!

Just back in time for the match. Need to catch up on the thread.

Do you think Iga is selling the towels done the market, Jane ? I mean, she's not won anything this year- she might need the money.

I’m not sure you’re going to get away with that Iga - no wonder they’re so expensive!

Must be hard times for tennis players - Holger was selling his old broken racquets online (until Babolat put a stop to it!)

There's a COL crisis on, Fizzy- even top tennis players are feeling the pinch

Ha ha, this is great.

Unlike a lot of you I'd rather watch Djokovic than the other male seeds but I do have a problem with Sinner, I just find him robotic and boring, there's something very bland about him. Is it just me?

@Daleksatemyshed that's exactly how I feel about Djokovic!

She could have a little stall out side the grounds like they have a football matches - flogging scarves and associated over priced tat.

She may have to get a disguise.

@Daleksatemyshed Jannik can come across as very serious and all business but if you watch his interviews he’s actually very funny. I think he’s a shy person and doesn’t like to be the centre of attention.

What now?

Another casualty in the crowd?

Maybe Hugh Grant has fallen asleep again in the Royal Box!

I’m supposed to be working but it’s hard to concentrate in the heat (and knowing that tennis is on) - I’m supposed to be in the office tomorrow - it’s going to be about 30 degrees and it’s men’s semi finals day!
