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.

Come on Karolina!

See- I only realised that when I got back to my laptop, because it didn't show up on my phone!

Now- I get you!

Karo really needed to break there.

The fact Laura is basically spying on the players box in from her courtside position is funny.

In other tournaments it would be 'the whisper position'.

Yes I enjoyed that bit of gossip

They've passed the length of last year's match, anyway- which I think was 57 minutes.

This has been very impressive from Linda.

Karolina’s body language has been bad from the walk on. Come on!

Yes, she did seem a bit defeated. Maybe it was nerves.

The crowd really want to see a match. One sided finals - and there have been a fair few - are no fun.

Eek.

This is a tense game.

Phew Karolina kept her eye on the ball

That was a mhuge game- but it felt like Linda wanted the chance to serve out the match herself.

Nerves kicking in everywhere now.

Oh my.

I guess the nerves have switched sides

Linda keeps hitting it wide.

This is so tense, after such a straightforward match.

Tracy was right. Karolina gave Linda too much time there.

Why can she not find the aces when she needs them?!

Ooh

Oof. I feel for Linda now.

Woohoo!

Karolina finally comes alive

That was an incredibly tense game. And that was just to break back.
