TENNIS THREAD- WIMBLEDON- part 3! Will the Plucky Brit make it to the end? Will there be 2 Italian winners at the weekend? Will Cobolli have to move house again?

[Raahh]

We will probably need another thread before the weekend anyway- but these are important questions.

Long arms!

(Honestly at 6ft 6, he'd look bloody daft with short arms. Like a T-Rex).

And 6 ft 6.

BINGO!

ooh- swanky. See if you can her to crack a smile.
I don't think I've ever seen her smile.

Great photo Ice

Where exactly are you sitting ice? Hope you have a fantastic day!!

I bet Anna Wintour doesn’t get hot and sweaty!

Hope you’re in the shade Ice - enjoy!

No, she glows a bit, or perspires gently.

Sascha is really taking his time.

I’m just off to the left of the Royal Box and up a bit. Guy next to me just told me Sascha is 6’6”

Players out

I have skipped to iplayer. Really annoys me that coverage starts on BBC1- with a repeat of all the waffle they have had on BBC2.

I quite like the warm up and the coin toss. Better than a VT I've seen 3 times this morning already.

Great ice
The height difference at the net was funny though
Arthur has opted to receive! Is he hoping Sascha will have nerves at the start?!

I hope you replied with long levers

They did look a bit comical at the net

Fabulous photograph.

How did you respond to the tennis-splaining bloke next to you?

Great seat ice
Let's hope the bloke next to you doesn't keep up the commentary throughout the match, otherwise you'll have to bring out the Paddington stare

6ft 6 has been mentioned at least twice by Andrew already.

Come on Arthur!

Wonder if Sascha will get rattled by the crowd (probably not as much as Cobolli did)

Centre Court is rocking!

The guy also explained to me that Sascha is the Russian shorthand for Alexander. I wonder what other gens he has for me.

Why is Tim pretending that he doesn’t know anything about the net cord technology at Wimbledon?

Virgil looks so cool

FUCK SAKE.

Slap him.

He definitely needs a Paddington stare

Is he still alive?

The noise is unreal. Good thing the roof is open!

because he won't pay for getting it fixed

Does anyone know what Arthur was querying? I couldn't hear.
