John Isner is really getting on my nerves. He is playing too well ?

Come on Andy!

Nanny27 Wed 29-Jun-22 20:04:22

Apparently Andy likes a loud crowd. Not good when they are cheering errors though

Nanny27 Wed 29-Jun-22 20:00:36

Only just switched on the Murray match. Crowd is exceptionally noisy! Quite distracting I think

Andy Murray is 2 years younger than John Isner Fudgemonkey.

Murry putting us all through the wringer as he's lost the 1st and 2nd set. Dare I say he's not as fit, or young, so can't keep up with the younger players ?

Fudgemonkey Wed 29-Jun-22 19:41:56

That match of Williams v Tan, so glad Tan won! Soz

Andy's trying so hard, I just want to give him a hug.

I don’t mind when Andy does it!

Callistemon21 Wed 29-Jun-22 18:58:05

Andy - great ace!

Callistemon21 Wed 29-Jun-22 18:55:53

I hate these players that get aces all the time

Oh, I can remember the thrill of getting an ace!
Not often and not at Wimbledon either.

I hate these players that get aces all the time. Never liked Sampras for that reason. Makes for very boring tennis. One of the reasons why I always want Andy to do well is that it was such a Herculean effort to win that second gold medal. He didn’t have to represent the country to do it and I often think the reason he has physical problems is he pushed himself so hard back then.

Yes, well done Cam Norrie!

Sorry about Emma - I wonder if she will decide to continue or go back to her studies? Either way, she's brilliant.

Callistemon21 Wed 29-Jun-22 18:48:51

Isner makes Murray look quite small!!

We're trying to work out his reach when he jumps

When I watched tennis a few weeks ago, don't know where it was from, I'm sure there was a sign on the screen that you could watch without the commentary by pressing the ??? button. Would love to be able to do that. Any idea if it's available or did I imagine it?
Great shame about Emma, but hopefully her day will come.

Is anyone else getting annoyed with Johanna Konta’s constant prattling in the commentary box? I’m watching on mute!

Yes me!

We’ll done Norris. Shame about Emma

Come on Andy!!

No. I really like her comments. I didn’t know who it was at first.

Dottie we turned the sound down.

I certainly am!

I hope Emma is not too disappointed. She's so young. Maybe next year!

Come on Andy!!

Oh no! Still that’s the game - ups and downs. She’s young plenty of games and wins left.

Absolutely
