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

Don't usually get emotional about tennis but started to watch the Williams Lisicky match and remembered how much I liked Lisicky last year; I just think she's adorable. So happy for her.

Wow! Lisicki is amazing! Well done smile

soop Mon 01-Jul-13 15:19:39

Wow. Stunning performance. Thrilled to bits. grin grin grin

soop Mon 01-Jul-13 15:13:19

SHRIEK! grin

Magnum at the ready. I'm having so much fun. sunshine tennis

Laura played her best tennis. Just not good enough to win. Rooting [far too loudly] for Lisicki. grin Rory appears to be in a trance wink

Don't know if I can stand the suspense of another match like the one on Saturday! tennis

Butty - I suspect it was just me being daft and not looking carefully enough. I could read your link clearly so thanks for that. smile

I don't think that page is on the mobile site Butty and Mollie.
I looked for it but could only find it on the desktop site.

Butty Mon 01-Jul-13 09:03:53

Mollie I can't think why it doesn't work for you. You may need to scroll down a wee bit on the page. Google 'Wimbledon Order of Play' that should do it.

Looking forward to today's matches. tennis

Thank you Butty...I went to the site but didn't find that page...silly me! I'll be on my seat ready and waiting to cheer her on...

Butty Sun 30-Jun-13 20:05:37

Tomorrow, Court 1, Mollie starting at 1.00pm

I use this site

mollie Sun 30-Jun-13 20:02:08

Anyone know when Laura is due to play again please?

soop Sun 30-Jun-13 11:50:19

Wow! tennis tennis tennis...have only just seen these balls...

soop Sun 30-Jun-13 11:49:09

Oh dear! Day without play...need to put some energy into removing a week's layer of dust. Next week could be so exciting. Laura is a star. Andy is marvellous. He is maturing nicely. smile

What a match!!

annodomini Sat 29-Jun-13 16:11:33

I got home in time to watch on TV. Some of the commentators are dire, I agree. I wish Becker would lose his voice...permanently. tennis tennis

janeainsworth Sat 29-Jun-13 16:06:29

It was thrilling to watch anno but you probably got a better commentary on the radio!

annodomini Sat 29-Jun-13 16:04:05

Driving home from Manchester, I was listening to the Robson match on the radio. Dropped into Waitrose thinking it would be all over by the time I came out and to my great surprise she'd won the second set and now she has fought her way to a win! What a girl!tennis

janeainsworth Sat 29-Jun-13 16:02:59

What a game! Laura Robson won in 3 sets smile
