What a fabulous display from Jubb, just brilliant.

Me too Grannybags blush.

TillyTrotter Tue 28-Jun-22 16:40:35

Rafa’s is yet another engrossing match today. We may not get tea in this house tonight ?

Jack Draper is playing well on BBC 2 - great ground strokes.

Pittcity Tue 28-Jun-22 16:38:33

I'm watching Jack Draper. Backing the Brits!!

Nadal match. Apparently we should watch his bottom as he plays.

I always do! (except when he’s fiddling with his pants!)

Grannmarie Tue 28-Jun-22 16:28:07

I'm not a big tennis fan myself, until the finals, but it's keeping DH occupied between naps!??

Hoping to see Jubb back again in the future
A great British hope

I’ll second that Calli. What a lovely smile he has too.

Brilliant match. Jubb was magnificent.

I used to think that about Leyton Hewitt, Callistemon. He had these fans that would be chanting in the crows with daft wigs and they used to rile me no end!

Just seen Heather Watson being interviewed after her win. Lovely girl and getting rather emotional.

Grannybags I try to look after my nails but watching Rafa always put paid to them! My knitting gets faster and faster and the tension goes to pot too. But I love to watch him - he has such integrity.

Grannybags Tue 28-Jun-22 15:57:11

I enjoyed that! Well done Jubb. One to watch for the future.

Biting my nails watching Rafa now…

Come on Paul!

Kyrgios is an unpleasant sort isn't he - a real narky personality.

Jubb sorry.

TillyTrotter Tue 28-Jun-22 15:45:58

Valiant effort from Jubbs. ?

Grandmadinosaur Tue 28-Jun-22 15:45:04

So close. Well played and I’m sure one to watch in the future.

Zoejory Tue 28-Jun-22 15:33:56

That has to be the shot of the match. Probably shot of the tournament.

He's doing incredibly well. Bit of a Boris Becker moment when he appeared from nowhere and won the tournament.

Come on Paul!

Kyrgios is an unpleasant sort isn't he - a real narky personality.

Apols, but late to the BBC 1 party from BBC 2!!
Please can someone tell me who the lady (?player) is who is chatting with Tim and Sue about Nadal?
Many thanks!

Used to be an avid fan in the days of McEnroe, Connors, Borg, Edberg, Agassi was my last big tennis crush

I could have written that myself, LauraNorderr!

I loved Le Conte as well. He used to interact with the audience but not in the channeling Krygios way.

It's been a great start to Wimbledon this year. Some really good games. I'm flicking over to Coco Gauff as well She's lovely to watch. Lost the first set! Seems to be even stevens now.

Come on Paul!!!

TillyTrotter Tue 28-Jun-22 14:59:35

X posts Honey ?

TillyTrotter Tue 28-Jun-22 14:59:07

Whooo……. a 5th set! Well done Paul Jubb ?

Honeysuckleberries Tue 28-Jun-22 14:57:47

Paul has taken Kyrgios to a fifth set! I hope he wins.

LauraNorderr Tue 28-Jun-22 14:52:57

Used to be an avid fan in the days of McEnroe, Connors, Borg, Edberg, Agassi was my last big tennis crush. Since then I’ve only watched Wimbledon and even then only from a quarter finals onwards. Loved Federer. This year I’ve taken a bit more interest especially after realising that that big Italian hunk was so darned good and now he’s beaten by covid, heartbreaking.
Hoping desperately for Jubb at the moment.
Money on Nadal. Hope not on NoVax Djokovic, maybe karma will sort that out.
