Channel 4 to show THE tennis match LIVE

Great match! What talent!

??

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

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

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

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?

Yes yes yes. Come on Emma.

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

What a moving rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.
Very poignant

I thought it was absolutely awful!

Sorry.

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

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

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

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?
?

Wasnt it just

Watching Last Night of the Proms pro tem

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

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

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.

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)

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

At least all this nonsence is bumping up the thread regularly for those who didn't know it is being televised live.

Have you got a Wii games console LauraNorder? We could get some practice in ready for the match and give ourselves a good work out in the process.

Gawd I’m sorry that’s pathetic.

Are we having volley vents ?

Really looking forward to it so pleased it’s being televised on Channel 4
