TENNIS thread - into the second week of Wimbledon

[Fizzywinegum]

new thread! Sorry for the unoriginal title

Wow well done Amanda!

Well done Amanda! Aryna didn’t waste any time getting off the court.

Great match

That was a a really good match- I was very impressed by her- I've not seen much of her recently - obviously, she's not played much.

I just hope Belinda's toe is ok, or it could be a bit of a one sided semi final.

They said earlier that Belinda may have to cut a hole in her shoe because the toenail is so painful!

That does not sound good at all, Jane!

Gross, I am a bit squeamish about feet.

No, feet are grim.

I don't know how many times they are going to say 'mother'.

Lest we forget.

Clare is grassing up the towel thief

Oh dear - I hope we don’t get to see the toe!

Yes we know Belinda's a mother. You've told us a thousand times already 🙄

I mean, it’s good to see women getting back into the game after having babies and I do think it’s important that younger players see that it is possible to do that and succeed, but agree that we don’t need to be reminded of it every two minutes!

Shovel into her bag

I'm old enough to have watched the last mother winning Wimbledon 😂

It's actually ridiculous how much they are talking about Belinda being a mother. Honestly, it's worse than skiing.

Sorry was prepping dinner in the interval. Have they started yet?

I'm actually surprised they mentioned Evonne - the way they used to talk, it was like Serena was the first and only woman in tennis ever to have a child.

Also making dinner! What’s going on?

I missed what was happening, I went to the loo.

Is it another collapsed spectator?

Iga doing Iga things.

I was starting to think the mixed doubles final migh tbe a bit late- but maybe not.

Iga suddenly wobbling on serve.

Iga is getting sunburnt

Watched the end of the men's doubles semi. Well done Cash and Glasspool. First all British pairing to make the Wimbledon final since 1960!

Now watching Bahrami on Court 3. They've just had a 45 shot rally
