TENNIS THREAD- WIMBLEDON 25- It's the FINALS countdown....

[Raahh]

Iga in 3.
Love watching her play. Really hope we get 3 sets.
I'm all ready, fan on full, ice cream in freezer. 😋
Gonna be a while though men's doubles probably going to go on a bit.

I think it will be Iga in 3, but I’m expecting an
close match and wouldn’t be too surprising if it goes the other way. Amanda was very impressive against Sabalenka.

Well done Julian and Lloyd!

The final doesn't start before 4pm anyway. So the doubles don't have to rush.

I think it could be close, this isn't Iga's most comfortable surface, and Amanda has been very good.

I'd like a 3 set match. Be nice for Iga to win it- but I don't really mind.

But Julian and Lloyd have won anyway- well done to them!

Well done Julian and Lloyd - Dinky Rinky is fun!

Well done Julian and Lloyd

The Dutch men in the various doubles all seem to be lovely people

I’m hoping Iga wins

They do, don't they? And this was another 'scratch' pairing, because they weren't meant to be playing together before the tournament.

Seems to be the way to do it!

Ugh shut up Claire

Not starting before 4?
I knew they're starting the men's at 4 tomorrow but I thought the women's was just going to follow from the men's doubles today, wtf happens now then?
Not an hour and a quarter of Claire and John Lloyd waffling on, please! 😲

I still think they should start earlier than 4pm - grumble grumble - have we now got to listen to a load of waffle for more than an hour now?

Lots of faffage now til 4pm
might have a nap

It seems ridiculous that they have centre court out of action now for over an hour on finals day.
I don't think they've thought this through properly.

I was just coming to ask if we still have to wait until 4pm?

Kate will arrive soon so there’s that distraction

I just can’t reconcile Andre’s voice to his face. I must have heard him speak before but I just couldn’t picture it. I’m glad his marriage to Stefi seems solid - he is obviously so in love and proud of her.
After the semis last night my DD and I watched King Richard about the Williams sisters start. Fascinating.

The Borg comparison is getting on my nerves!

well done Julian and Lloyd
great win
tense
the dutch Pel was like a exited big dog!
Rinky was fearsome

Why are they talking about the men before the women’s final anyway?

There’s another hour of warm up to go so hopefully they will move on to talk about the women.

i think they were talking about the women before the men's doubles!

I’m standing right in front of Clare, Tracy and Daniela!

Kate looks to be solo this year

Did they need to include the Brits in this montage?! No, they did not
