The drinks and nibbles sound Ace, whoever's serving!
Can't wait.

Have a look here, Lucca. There a few clips of her.

Lucca Sat 11-Sept-21 16:03:12

Somebody told me I could watch highlights of her progress through the championship maybe on bbc but I can’t find it !

soop Sat 11-Sept-21 16:01:16

I am well pleased. grin grin grin

JenniferEccles Sat 11-Sept-21 15:26:14

Any predictions about the result?
I think it will be a closely run match this time, probably three sets.

I have never seen the other girl play so difficult for me to call, but she’s obviously very good too to have got to the finals.

So pleased it’s on Channel 4 as we haven’t got Amazon Prime.

Boom boom

Good to go tennis fans, menu sounds excellent, have decided to give Orlin the night off, he’ll only make a racket.

Mmmmmmm ….. ?

I found a nice Grand Slam drink recipe with loads of rum.

Lucca is spot on- it is the pre-match blurb starting at 8 pm but the first ball will be hit at 9 pm. I cannot wait and thanks to channel 4.

Lucca

What would be appropriate snacks for viewing ?

I’ve just bought a bag of dark chocolate covered ginger from Holland and Barrett plus dark chocolate covered cranberries. Don’t know what possessed me as I’m trying to cut down on find generally !!

Food not find. Damn sure I typed food.

Lucca Sat 11-Sept-21 13:45:32

Aaargh so sorry I just realised this is page 2 and food has already been discussed

Squiffy Sat 11-Sept-21 13:44:30

Thank you infoman, really looking forward to it! ???

Orlin will of course wear trousers and shirt cuffs. He will serve the supper from the end of the room as per covid regulations and hope that his lobs are accurate.

Lucca Sat 11-Sept-21 13:35:10

Coverage starts at 8. I think match is at 9

Whitewavemark2 Sat 11-Sept-21 13:31:15

We are going to a wedding. Does anyone know what time it is on so that we can video please?

muse Sat 11-Sept-21 13:09:30

I see food and drink mentioned. LauraNorder - I'll be there. Spag Bol will keep till Sunday night.

TillyTrotter Sat 11-Sept-21 13:01:21

No offence to Orlin, but my eyes will be watching Emma R on the TV screen ?

Jaxjacky Sat 11-Sept-21 12:46:08

I’m assuming Orlin will be wearing something else LauraNorder or you’ve set the bar too high for us as MrJ doesn’t possess a bow tie ??

Crocus5 Sat 11-Sept-21 11:52:13

Thank you, SpringyChicken
