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.

I can't remember about Katie Boulter Raahh
Jeremy was head of women's tennis at the LTA at some point, I think, so that could be the link with Katie, even if he wasn't directly her coach?

John? As in Mac? Flirting with who Raahh?

That could be it.

Ha ha! Laura's rubbish seat and cushion!

All 3 of them- at least he tried to. Claire was having none of it. .

It's amazing there has been no rain at all this year. Just disruptions for medical things and roof closures for light!

I think it's safe to say, this will not be a a repeat of last year's final. Unless something really drastic happens in the first game to one of them!

Clare has had an attack of the Castle’s

I hope Karo wins but hoping for a close competitive match.

Never seen that umpire before.

She's been through so much, it would be really great for her.

I don't think this will be Linda's last final.

No, dh just said 'he looks very young'

This is already closer than last year

I can't believe how little (i.e. not at all) the BBC have promoted doubles. I have been watching most days and hadn't heard there was a Brit in the men's doubles final until today. Then they say how much they hope doubles survives. Well it might help it if they ever promoted it! The rallies are generally way more entertaining than in singles. Every year I just don't get why it never gets any decent coverage.

Early break for Linda.

Damn. Karo needs to be tighter on her service games given Linda is such a good server.

I hope this isn’t a walkover. I would like a match

This is not as close as I expected, but maybe Karolina will settle in the second set. I'd like it to at least got to 3.

Poor Naomi. Stuck in the bunker on finals day.

At least she won’t get sunburnt

Nah Clare she’s obviously showing her photos of Lulu 🐶

This is very true.

It would be funny if Kate took her phone out and started showing Martina some photos

Jane Lulu

Linda is so calm for someone playing her first slam final.

Karo can’t seem to get a read on Linda’s serve.

I had to use the doggy emoji to avoid any misunderstanding Raahh
