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.

It’s Czechia Annabelle!!!

My ex- friend
Love it.

She's a good human person.

So tough on Karolina

Me too!

I want to give Carolina a big hug. But well done Linda

Yes he was a good umpire!

I’m glad Karolina got the second set so we don’t get any of the “women’s tennis is boring”nonsense.

I do like Linda, she's really sweet.

Oh her mum.

Ok, now I'm crying.

We all have tears to wipe away

Ive only just turned on and I feel all the emotions!

It did bother me how many times Linda did an aborted ball toss on important points. I think she was looking to see which way Karo would lean on return. I'm surprised there isn't a penalty for doing that so many times. It wasn't windy.

Martina looks so proud.

Well done Linda. I’m pleased she got there in the end.

Martina Hingis’ mother can eat her words now

Oh she can.

Her members badge.

Petra is glowing.

So much red today

Yes, it seems like a heavy colour for such a hot day, to me.

Such an emotional match. I think it’s all the history of Wimbledon that adds to the emotion. You’re always reminded of past players. Thinking today of one of my favourites, Jana Novotna 🥲 So much emotion from both players, and even the commentary team in tears. A special match.

I love the balcony bit.

Yes, and people’s skin too! Some people looked like they might suffer later 🫣

Yes, I thought it looked wrong somehow.

I don’t know what it is about Czech players but they always get me in the gut!
