TENNIS THREAD- WIMBLEDON continues!

[Raahh]

Can't think of a witty title, I didn't realise the other thread was full

Have just realised I'm nearly a week in and haven't shouted at Andrew Castle to shut up yet. This is quite frankly a miracle.
Is he commentating less or have I just not had the misfortune yet or am I mellowing in my old age?

I don’t agree with the BBC showing a Brit in the 3rd round on One over established players on Centre Court yes I know I can change channels but that’s not the point

Good point, he seems a bit less ubiquitous this year. Might they be fading him out? Now they've got Jamie, who the heck would want AC? 😝

Jasmine off to a good start against Maria Sakkari.

Maria has avoided the bagel- but things are not looking good for Rybakina.

I was wrong about Elena because she’s down 5-1 in the second now!

There’s too many matches I want to watch on at the same time!

Arthur has a nosebleed.

Not looking good for Arthur atm.

Rybakina is out in straight sets.

Well done to Elise.

Jasmine is up a break in the seconds set, and Flavio has just won the tie break in his match.

Well done Elise!

I now have the big telly so I can watch two matches at once (one on the iPad).

Well done Elise!

Alexandra going toe to toe with Iga

Now watching Jasmine and Maria. I like both players. Unless something miraculous happens for Maria it looks like this will be Jasmine’s match.

Maria hasn't been serving well, so I really think she will struggle to turn this around. Jasmine has not had a great year and really had issues with injuries- so I would like her to get through. She must be prioritising singles (still a bit wary of the foot injury) because she has withdrawn from the the doubles with Sara.

I think the reason Sara is not in the players box, is because she due to play mixed doubles imminently with Vavavoom.

It will be lovely for Jasmine to have another good run here.

I wish I had arms like Maria. Perhaps if I spent more time playing tennis instead of watching it I might!

Iga not happy.

WELL DONE ALEXANDRA

Oh , if I had arms/abs like Maria, I would live in crop tops.

But I do not.

I said that's where Sara was! Honestly. Give me a job at the Beeb.

Forza! Jasmine. That's one of the best matches she has played all year.

Flavio is on the RB now. Yay!

Aww, she's another one who is upset because she's had to give up a lot recenty because of injuries. Missed out on defending Rome, doubles at RG.

I really like Jasmine, she makes me smile. So happy to see her playing well again.
