Waves across to the 'haters' thread grin

The centre court umpire has a VERY sexy voice. Sounds a bit like Barry White.

Forty.....luuuuuurve

Hate it - never watch any sport - except ice dancing at the Winter Olympics!

Thankfully, I missed Andys match [was out]. One better watched on catchup, methinks...

He was Slovenian, and I think his name is Alliaz Benede- that is close.

I really thought that Andy was going to lose the match. I have no idea who he will be playing next but that type of match this evening is not good for my blood pressure.

Tegan2 Fri 07-Jul-17 21:10:37

Who's the new GB player [who lost today] who's rather cute? Ajax something or other.

And.....breathe.

DS went to one of those Italian weddings a few years ago. He went to the gents and found a large roll of notes on the floor that had probably fallen out of the pocket of the man who had just left.

Unsure of what to do and worried he might be found clutching the 'wad' he quickly put it on the windowsill and legged it. grin

I am exhausted...

whitewave Fri 07-Jul-17 20:58:22

Phew!

merlotgran Fri 07-Jul-17 20:56:50

Yes. No surprise there. grin

whitewave Fri 07-Jul-17 20:54:21

My thought exactly!! Mind you a passionate Italian. Did you hear Becker saying about Fognini's wedding? And how it was like two mafia families?

merlotgran Fri 07-Jul-17 20:51:12

Fognini might be a dick but he's a good looking one. grin

whitewave Fri 07-Jul-17 20:46:53

Nail biting stuff though.

merlotgran Fri 07-Jul-17 20:44:53

He's making us suffer. Come on Andy your mum is looking daggers! shock

Murray is behaving ridiculously.

merlotgran Fri 07-Jul-17 17:39:27

Rafa.....Arse, shoulder, shoulder, nose, ear, ear, nose, ear.

Not necessarily in that order. grin

Pittcity Fri 07-Jul-17 16:08:41

Not to be merlot sad
COME ON JO!!!

merlotgran Fri 07-Jul-17 15:06:55

COME ON HEATHER!!!

I think Murray has matured slightly over the years, but I certainly don't find him either the best player or most attractive character.

I like the coolness and sophistication of Federer and of course he is the most outstanding, best ever player. His choice of apparel is always good as well.
In fact an all round good egg!!

Anniebach Fri 07-Jul-17 09:12:57

Have concerns for Andy today

Pittcity Fri 07-Jul-17 08:57:28

No need to sit indoors watching. I sit out in a shady spot and watch on my laptop.
Colchester also shows it on a huge screen in the park. There are Pimms and strawberries for sale. It's like a local Henman Hill and it's free.

I'm no Tennis fan but My interest perked up a bit when Dustin Brown appeared.

Regarding Andy Murray, I always thought he was a bad tempered sort but have changed my view since watching various interviews. Still think his voice is boring but he can't help that and I think he even laughs about it himself.

If he could just stop that aggressive looking fist pumping and grimacing he'd be ok in my book. Think he got it from his mother!

Don't watch it, too busy watching the Tour de France. Glued to the tv for 3 weeks, doing housework during the commercial breaks, early morning shopping, anything else has to wait until the race has finished.

Tessa101 Thu 06-Jul-17 21:54:46

Love Wimbledon.... myself and my DD go to the semi finals every year and sit on the hill and sometimes get chance to buy tickets for centre court later in the day. Great day out, you get to move around and watch all the games on the outside courts. She's an avid Murray fan... but I'm saying nothing!!

whitewave Thu 06-Jul-17 19:12:50

He changed his shirt?????

whitewave Thu 06-Jul-17 18:14:21

Fed is on ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
