Such an exciting match. Come on, Cam!

MayBee70 Tue 05-Jul-22 18:35:55

I’m not watching it in case I bring him bad luck. I can hear the crowd on the tv in the next room!

Smileless2012 Tue 05-Jul-22 18:44:43

I dare not look. I'M not watching Wimbledon next year, it's just too much. That said, I say this every yearblush.

merlotgran Tue 05-Jul-22 19:15:15

I’m watching through my fingers now. ?

nadateturbe Tue 05-Jul-22 19:20:23

Yes!! ?

merlotgran Tue 05-Jul-22 19:20:33

Yippeeeeeee!!!

MayBee70 Tue 05-Jul-22 19:23:57

I wish I had the courage to watch some of these matches…

Jaxjacky Tue 05-Jul-22 19:24:59

Bloody well done Norrie ???❤️

TillyTrotter Tue 05-Jul-22 19:25:42

Delighted that Cam Norrie has made it to the semi final ? ?

LauraNorderr Tue 05-Jul-22 19:28:21

Woohoo ?

Grannybags Tue 05-Jul-22 19:28:45

Phew! I’m worn out now.

Well done Norrie!

Sweetpeasue Tue 05-Jul-22 19:29:10

I feel sick after that! Wonderful Norrie.

Honeysuckleberries Tue 05-Jul-22 19:30:14

Absolutely bl**dy brilliant.
He’s got to play Djokovic next, wonder who will the crowd be cheering for? Hope they put Djokovic off.

Callistemon21 Tue 05-Jul-22 19:32:02

Brilliant, Cameron Norrie!
(And not a hair out of place ?)

tickingbird Tue 05-Jul-22 19:54:59

I already have butterflies thinking about Rafa’s match tomorrow.

Sparklefizz Tue 05-Jul-22 20:01:35

Gosh! What a match! Well done Cam! I frightened the cat by squealing at the tv set. Absolutely brilliant tennis. My nerves are now completely shredded.

Think I will watch a bit of McDonald & Dodds to try and calm down before bedtime.

JenniferEccles Tue 05-Jul-22 23:08:42

This is turning out to be a fabulous Wimbledon isn’t it?
Two great men’s matches today and it’s only Tuesday!
So delighted Norrie came through.
Kyrgios tomorrow. I do hate his tantrums but there’s no denying his matches make compelling viewing, almost despite our better instincts.

I will be lost next week when it’s all over.

nadateturbe Wed 06-Jul-22 08:55:48

It has, JenniferEccles. I haven't watched so much for years.
I wish the crowd would be quieter though.

Smileless2012 Wed 06-Jul-22 10:22:39

I frightened both of our dogs Sparklefizzblush what a brilliant match.

Sparklefizz Wed 06-Jul-22 10:45:04

I agree re Kyrgios, JenniferEccles but I just have to watch as his tennis is so good. He doesn't need to be so difficult and contrary just for the sake of it (red trainers and cap!!)

I might have to put my cat out in the garden during today's tennis Smileless before her nerves are as shredded as mine.

What a terrific Wimbledon this has been, and it's good to have some Cam-tastic tennis.

Sweetpeasue Wed 06-Jul-22 15:57:26

Sparklefizz Smileless I frightened my husband---and that takes some doing! ?

Grannybags Wed 06-Jul-22 16:04:52

Oh no! Rafa has lost the first set

Flicking between both matches - are Garin and Fritz twins…?!!

merlotgran Wed 06-Jul-22 16:21:32

I’m another one flicking back and forth. Kyrgios playing a brilliant game so far.

Jaxjacky Wed 06-Jul-22 16:23:23

Rafa is not right, gone off the court. ?

Lucca Wed 06-Jul-22 16:28:26

Oh blimey did you see cliff richard ??‍♀️
