Wimbledon [sunshine]

Mmm ...but when I read your posts they were on a new page ...thought thread had gone from raffa to murray!!

'Twas only the previous post, Jacey!

had to back track to find out who you were now talking about!!

Not surprised he couldn't stand...

Apparently he's reputed to have slept with over 2000 women. He also stood, unsuccessfully, for election as mayor of Bucharest. (thanks, Wikipedia)

He did look very strange, but he was always great fun to watch.

ella I always enjoy seeing Nastase at Wimbledon - he was a fabulous player in his time. I don't know what the heck he was wearing! What an oddbod

I gave up watching during the 3rd set when I thought Murray was done for. I wanted to watch Richard II which I had set to record. Just before 11, I decided to finish watching the recording tonight during the football and went over to BBC 1, expecting the tennis to be over. I was just in time to see the last game. What a surprise that was. Andy can really pull it off when he puts his mind to it.

Mishap really??

I also stayed to watch the match ( have now got to catch up with Spirals via iplayer)

I was also rooting for Baghdatis ...what a breath of fresh air.

Thought one of the commentators had it right when he commented that AM now hadn't got a part of his body that he didn't seem to be having trouble with

Hope Mical recovers from his 2hr last set as he's now against AM

Boris Becker gives me the creeps - he is so weird-looking! Presumably that is why he fathered a baby in a cupboard at a party - no need to look at him in the dark!

That was a great match and I almost wish Baghdatis had won, he was the more exciting player.
It seemed as though he gave up a bit at the end just to get it finished.

Did you see Nastase?
What a fruit loop, he looked ridiculous!

Great match. I'll look forward to watching Baghdatis again in future

I really took to Bahgdatis last year when he played Wimbledon, so was also rooting for him tonight. he is a breath of fresh air, as Mishap said.

Yes!!

It's 11pm and AM is serving for the match! Will he do it in time?

I know..I personally don't know any little children who would tolerate the intense concentration needed to watch a tennis match - I'm sure they can't be expected to understand the scoring system. Still, at least they're learning that there is a spectator sport which is exciting! Ok I admit it, I hate football!

No babysitter merlot*!

I'm possibly doing a grumpy gran thing here but why are there so many children in the centre court during these night matches? There seem to be loads of them this year and most of them are bored/tired/fidgety and probably not the least bit interested.

merlot !

Yes when - exactly!

Just seen Boris - he's in the audience - do you think its something we said?!!

John Wayne's the umpire again tonight

My favourite advert at the moment is the Argos one with the aliens playing table tennis. I thought I'd just spotted one of them in the crowd at Wimbledon but it was Andy Murray's mum.

specki I can understand why you are supporting Baghdatis - he's really interesting to watch and he's enjoying himself!

Yes, it's even diverted me from Fifty Shades of Grey Hair!

Does anyone else think that Tim Henman has become more handsome with maturity? He looked like a schoolboy for years but now, mmm...!

Also I found out who the guy with the cowboy hat is..he's an honorary steward apparently and is responsible for making sure only friends and family are in the players' box. He's been doing it since 1973.

I'm sorry but I'm rooting for Baghdatis - I like his attitude better.

So another late night then!

Just came back for a look at your remarks and the thread had disappeared!

I wish Murray would grow up, he still carries on like an overgrown teenager
