Here's a new Wimbledon thread or those of us who love the tennis this time of year. Who's your favourite player? For me, it's Roger Federer, but Rafa Nadal comes a close second. smile

After all this excitement I can't wait for The White Queen hmm

Tegan Yay! grin

I still haven't caught up with the last two episodes; d'you think it matters [probably wouldn't understand it even if I did].

I don't think you'll find it hard to catch up, Tegan. The usual battles, Warwick is still kingmaking (not for long) and Elizabeth reckons she's having a boy.

Was I the only person who was half hoping that Novak would win the third set so that the match would last longer? hides head in shame

Fantastic tennis from Andy, and even Ivan (see what I did there) seemed to well up a bit smile

merlot; has the bodice ripping stuff stopped now they've been married for a while smile? Ella; I could not have survived another set confused.

It's hard work, all this sport, isn't it wink. Wonder how many calories I've burned off this past two weeks?

Loads....in nervous energy! Plus the German grand prix, the rugby, tour de france....bit of racing....exhausted....just watching! Great!

Arrived at my church meeting just after five o'clock on tenterhooks with my son texting me a blow by blow account. Not good enough - we switched on the TV and watched the last few points - the neighbours must have thought we were a very lively bunch this evening as we clapped and cheered Andy's win. I'm pleased for him, but absolutely delighted that the people of Dunblane have reason to celebrate in style this evening.tennis

The best Wimbledon by far, in my humble opinion. As for the CHAMPION...I'm lost for words.
