Please join us in conversation if you enjoy Wimbledon - it is just 2 weeks of the years and greatly enjoyed by it’s fans.

I’m still in recovery mode. What a match. It’s Rafa’s mental ability that brings him success. We are privileged to still see him playing.

An amazing match, great tennis. I had to go out before the end, but hope we see more of Taylor Fttz.

We were at Wimbledon watching the Kyrios match. He was well behaved and obviously fed off of his showmanship.
It was impossible to get on to Henman Hill to watch the rest of the Nadal match, so we returned to Court One and watched invitation doubles. DD had never seen a comedy match before.

What a great day you had Pittcity ? ?
Isn’t it odd we need to be distracted by Kyrgios’s behaviour , be it good or awful, when he is a grown man?
He should let his fine tennis skills do the talking for him. ?

Watching Ram/Salisbury doubles now....great match with GB interest.

What a dreary affair was the second ladies' semi-final - Simona Halep had no chance against the 6ft-plus lady with the unpronounceable name. The Jabeur/Maria match was much more interesting, but I fear that Ons will suffer the same fate as Simona ...

So sorry Rafa has had to withdraw from tomorrow’s game but obviously he couldn’t go on with that injury. He looked gutted just now. At least we have Cam to look forward to watching on Friday.

TillyTrotter Thu 07-Jul-22 19:42:50

Yes he cannot play on with an injury like that.
So disppointing, mostly for Rafa of course , but also for us the fans.
Your health is more important than anything.

Couldn't they change the rules and let Fritz through to play! [smile

TillyTrotter Thu 07-Jul-22 19:52:12

DH said the same .

Callistemon21 Thu 07-Jul-22 20:05:34

Oh, so Kyrgios gets through by default? ?
A walkover to the final.

So disappointed but Rafa's health has to come first.

That would be good!

Lucca Thu 07-Jul-22 20:06:53

How many times are they going to show Rafa saying he’s withdrawing ?????

Callistemon21 Thu 07-Jul-22 20:12:15

I've only just seen it!

It must have been repeated just for me ?

Grandmadinosaur Thu 07-Jul-22 20:16:17

So disappointed it had to end this way for Rafa. He’s given his all and I’m gutted.

Fleur20 Thu 07-Jul-22 20:24:18

Just sickened that Kyrgios gets a bye into the final though!

Hope Nadal is okay long term ... such a gent...

Jaxjacky Thu 07-Jul-22 20:37:19

It’s disappointing, but he has his priorities right.

gulligranny Thu 07-Jul-22 20:51:52

I agree that Nadal should be looking after his health and therefore he should have retired yesterday, thus allowing his opponent the chance of playing in the semis. Big disappointment for those who've got tickets for tomorrow plus a bit of a nightmare for the organisers, not to mention you-know-who getting a bye and therefore a good rest before the final on Sunday.

Grannybags Thu 07-Jul-22 21:32:42

So disappointed for Rafa.

It will be interesting to see how Djokovic reacts (assuming he beats Cam Norrie!) if Kyrgios starts his antics

Pittcity Fri 08-Jul-22 11:56:02

We saw Elena Rybakina play her quarter final on Wednesday and it was a hard fought three set match. I wasn't expecting the walkover in the semis against Halep.
I agree that they should've let Fritz play again.

Cheering on Norrie later!!

Sparklefizz Fri 08-Jul-22 15:15:51

Come on Cam!!!!! You can do it!!!!!!

TillyTrotter Fri 08-Jul-22 15:49:04

Norrie has got fire in his belly !
Superb first set ?
And again in the next set Cam ?

TillyTrotter Fri 08-Jul-22 15:50:15

Sorry, meant he is serving for the set - the excitement has overcome me ?

tickingbird Fri 08-Jul-22 15:51:59

Wow! Come on Cam.

TillyTrotter Fri 08-Jul-22 15:52:09

Now Cam has taken the set ? !!!!
