Wimbledon 2013 - my idea of heaven. Is it yours?

Sunseeker, I agree with you - I was so peeved when I couldn't find any alternative to tennis on the BBC last night. It would surely have been enough to continue with the match on BBC2 and let the rest of us watch "normal" programmes on BBC1. DH loves tennis, used to play until injury stopped play. So far he has watched French Open, Davis Cup and even found some games going on at Eastbourne in the gap until Wimbledon started. Not a happy time for me, as I have no interest in any sport at all, but at least he turns the sound down so the inane gush is barely audible - even DH doesn't enjoy the drivel! In the interest of fairness, I wish they would give the players a chance to recover before thrusting a mike under the winner's nose, it must be very hard to talk after three hours on court.
Now the sun is shining, so I can retire to the garden with a glass of something cold and white (and I don't mean milk!)

Oh please don't let that big serving bloke beat Murray tomorrow; I don't ever want to go back to 'the Sampras years' . So chuffed that Sabine won today; put the internet on as soon as I got in to work as I had to know..wish I'd been brave enough to carry on watching now. Can't remember the last time I actually looked forward to watching the womens final [if ever].

My niece and her husband have tickets for the men's final. Obviously they're hoping Andy Murray gets through the semi as the atmosphere will be amazing. The going rate for selling them on is, at the moment, £10K for the pair. If Murray loses tomorrow their value will drop.

Her husband is adamant they're going on Sunday whoever wins tomorrow. £10K is mighty tempting though...... I know what I'd do.

PS. Front row seats are going for £20K

Perhaps not so much in recent years, but for a long time the semi finals were always much better games than the finals.

Oh my giddy aunt! What a great game of tennis between Novak and Juan Martin!

Boris Becker is getting on my wick! Such inane comments........'it's like he's in chains, he's not free!' Someone needs chaining up, and he's in the commentary box!

I'm glad I've planned a quick and easy supper.

I wonder why they're both having so many falls? The court must be dry as a bone now. Someone will be getting injured at this rate.

The dusty bits get quite slippery, when. And they're both busting a gut to get at the most unreachable balls!

Oh, I unthinkingly booked a pedicure at 5pm. Too late to cancel on them now.

I can't decide who I want to win and Andy's match might be a slight disappointment after this.

Just saw some close-ups of them both sliding around, anno and it was on the grass where no damage could be seen, just bits of grass flying up as they skidded. As you said, though, they really are pulling out all the stops! Looks dangerous when they end up sprawled on the court.

I think I'd better calm down. I just posted a Wimbledon comment on the Jon Venables thread. I'm really, really sorry

Understandable . Best match I've ever seen...

Talk about the Labours of Hercules!

Best match I've seen in years! I don't mind who wins now. They're both fantastic

Yep when. Superb.

Wow! Anything after this is going to be boring in comparison.

Well done, both players!

First class players. No swearing or shouting, just fantastic play.

What a terrific match. Two wonderful players

I kept thinking I was watching Russell Crowe in Gladiator .

Excellent!!!!

Is it gin o' clock now??

I need a stiff drink after that! ..........and now, it's probably going to happen all over again. I wonder if they'll fit this match in before bedtime?
