Wimbledon 2021 ???

A wonderful result but I do sometimes wonder why I put myself through the agony of watching a long Andy Murray match with all its inevitable ‘heart in the mouth’ moments!

Then he wins and I know exactly why I watch as I leap up from the sofa in delight!

How long can he continue though with these five setters and only one day in between matches?

Apparently Friday’s match is expected to be a real challenge, as if the others haven’t been!

Watching Roger Federer, such a class act

I scarcely recognised Boris Becker this evening...

Yes BB has aged enormously - and put on a bit of weight. He would no longer fit in a broom cupboard for the purposes of procreation!

Just switched on to see gorgeous Berettini….

Federer ?

He wasn’t “himself” was he? But the polish guy played a blinder too.

Yes, he looks much older but he's still only 53.
He hasn't aged well.

I wish the commentators were not writing Federer off because of one lost match.

It could be because he's 39, getting on a bit?

Ken Rosewall retired when he was 46

For any of you who are Rafa Nadal fans, he has accepted a Wild Card to play in the Washington Tournament 2 - 8 August.

Do hope Denis Shapovalov beats ND tomorrow.

Thanks NanKate I'll look out for that

I hope Shapovalov wins but I can't see it happening unfortunately

NanKate thanks for that I wasn’t aware of that. I’ll keep a look out for that.
Another one here behind Shapovalov ? . I’m pleased the Berretini game is on first so I will watch it in peace this afternoon while DH is at work. He knows better to want to watch anything else on TV during Wimbledon fortnight but still has a little moan now and again. I did point how long it is on compared to the football season!

Do hope Denis Shapovalov beats ND tomorrow.

Me too, NanKate, he's exciting to watch and somehow I just can't warm to ND.

Another Shapovalov fan here!

DS is such a nice young man glad he has support from some of us GNs. Perhaps we could all sit in the front row clutching out Pimms. Anyone fancy a chocolate?

One of the many things that annoy me about ND is that on occasions he tries to get the spectators to clap more for him! He’s number 1 in the World for heaven’s sake, he should have more dignity. Rant over. “

NanKate I’m on front row as I type. Is it too early for a nice glass of Pinot Grigio Blush or is that a silly question ?‍♀️
Oo yes please to a chocolate - no hard centres though I have a broken tooth at the front.
Berrettini breezing through at the moment.

DH and I want to know how to shut the commentators off but keep the rest of the sound.

Short of going there and stuffing a tennis ball into John McEnroe's mouth I don't know what to do?

I’ve just seen that the BBC have got TV rights for the next 3 years. I can’t imagine Wimbledon with any other channel but yes get rid of McEnroe please. He’s been incredibly annoying this year.

Just switched on to see gorgeous Berettini….

Oh yes! ?

And that smile……

Why is sue barker dressing like angela Merkel ?

Can I straighten Boris' tie please?...maybe it's the name that means they can't dress themselves!!!!!

I bet you’ve had a few tipples by now grandmad. I’ll have the chocs with the nuts in please. Cheers.
