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.

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. 
Wow! Lisicki is amazing! Well done
Wow. Stunning performance. Thrilled to bits. 
SHRIEK!
Magnum at the ready. I'm having so much fun. 
Laura played her best tennis. Just not good enough to win. Rooting [far too loudly] for Lisicki. Rory appears to be in a trance 
Well, this isn't getting the gardening done. Come on Laura!!!! 
...and Magnums.
Me too, soop!
Come on Andy! Come on Laura! I'm ready for a week of moans, squeals and peering through fingers.
Don't know if I can stand the suspense of another match like the one on Saturday!
Butty - I suspect it was just me being daft and not looking carefully enough. I could read your link clearly so thanks for that.
Looking forward to today's matches.
Wow! ...have only just seen these balls...
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.
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.
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!
What a game! Laura Robson won in 3 sets
