Channel 4 to show THE tennis match LIVE

Excuse my Yorkshireness but all I can say Lucca is nice one luv

You are amusing Calli or is that a backhanded compliment.

Ouch!

To be serious for a moment, since when have they been allowed to use both hands for a backhand, or any other stroke for that matter?

I wuz taught proper, just one hand for backhand- and I must say mine was quite impressive at one time (well I was in the school squad)

Don’t know about what it should be but remember McEnroe using two handed backhand early seventies. Also Borg was a fan of two hands I think.
Chris Evert definitely.

Lucca my self imposed alcohol allowances are abandoned this evening, I’ll serve penance tomorrow, two handed round a mug of tea.

Lined up with the Channel 4 transmission (muted for the preamble).
Who is the blonde lady in the studio, please?
Recognise the other two.

Shame the BBC, who we pay for, didn’t have the gumption to sort it.

It's the Last Night of the Proms. Why would the BBC want to jeopardise that?
?

Is it just me or is the speed on court just phenomenal?

Yes I thought that too. It’s like watching two young tiger cubs scrapping. It’s going to be a great match.

I thought it was absolutely awful!

Sorry.

I’m watching the Prom, though. The tennis is too scary.

Wow, wow , wow! What a first set!!

Yes yes yes. Come on Emma.

Of course I want Emma to win but the other girl seems lovely too.
I loved the way, in her innocence, she bounced up and down with delight when she had a net cord, then suddenly remembered that she should have put her hand up to apologise! She broke into such a lovely, kind of embarrassed smile.

These two are such an asset to the game aren’t they?

It’s wonderful to have these youngsters in the final - they thoroughly deserve to be in the final and are a delight to watch.

What a match! Absolutely brilliant. What talent. Phew!

Just amazing to watch that match!!
Well done Emma ,

??

Great match! What talent!
