TENNIS thread - into the second week of Wimbledon

[Fizzywinegum]

new thread! Sorry for the unoriginal title

I went to get a coffee and they swapped channels.

They’re dropping like flies. Aryna will have no water left.

Another medical issue - these players will be like trained paramedics before the tournament has finished!

That thread speaks for all of us Chessie

I* *read the other day that he said in an interview that the art of commentating is is knowing when to shut up.
Unfortunately, he doesn't follow this advice.
The man is a fuckwit of the highest order.

I think the umpire needs to make an announcement and ask anyone else who has failed to get themselves water to go and get some now before they disrupt anything further.

You know, like toilet breaks in school.

But I'm a horrible person.

I think the fans are flogging bottles of Evian at over inflated prices at Iga's shop. 'As touched by Aryna Sabalenka'.

It's becoming a lucrative business.

I’m imagining Iga in a Delboy sheepskin coat and cigar

Yup- and a little reliant robin.

We've got you covered, Iga. Should the tennis career go south.

The WTA needs to make an ATP style production with Iga running her stall and sending a bunch of people to faint at matches in order to get players’ water bottles

Holger can be Rodney!

Amanda is in the zone

She might need to audition for it first, Jane.

We should pitch it.

To...someone.

The WTA is no craic compared to the ATP

Hope Sabalenka can come back

I think Aneke might be in on it

No, they don't seem as much fun .

Aneke Oh dear!

I'm not really concentrating on this match- but I am impressed by Amanda so far.

@JaneJeffer If Sinner doesn't like being the centre of attention then being the number 1 seed must be difficult for him 😂He reminds me a bit of Boris Becker but hopefully a lot less pervy

The screeching!

It’s really pissing me off !

Great value Tracy? Yes I’m sure everyone is thinking it’s worth paying to have their eardrums ruptured!

The commentary is too irritating

Amanda not letting this set go easily.

I've become.immune to the screeching 😁

Great shot!
