Come on Paul!

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

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

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

Biting my nails watching Rafa now…

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.

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.

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

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

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!??

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

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

lixy Tue 28-Jun-22 16:38:41

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

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 ?

Smileless2012 Tue 28-Jun-22 16:40:36

What a fabulous display from Jubb, just brilliant.

Me too Grannybags blush.

Callistemon21 Tue 28-Jun-22 16:46:58

My knitting gets faster and faster and the tension goes to pot too ?

I decided to get the needles out too, knit one, oh a nice drop stitch there!

Callistemon21 Tue 28-Jun-22 16:51:05

Cerundolo is certainly giving Nadal a challenge!

TillyTrotter Tue 28-Jun-22 16:53:58

Some of these young players are biting at the heels of the Giants of the Game like Nadal and Djokovic.

LauraNorderr Tue 28-Jun-22 17:40:20

Where’s Lucca today? One of GNs biggest tennis fans. Hope she’s okay.

MayBee70 Tue 28-Jun-22 17:46:05

I’m just looking out for someone who can beat Djokovic. I really dislike him.

Pittcity Tue 28-Jun-22 18:34:38

Has Nadal met his match?

Zoejory Tue 28-Jun-22 18:38:09

Has Nadal met his match?

I have one of my feelings that are telling me Nadal will win. My feelings are rarely wrong. But they might be.

He's not getting any younger but he's been beaten before. They mentioned Dustin Brown, fabulous player, who beat him in a surprise result 10 years ago.

Pittcity Tue 28-Jun-22 18:59:59

Glad you were right Zoejory

LauraNorderr Tue 28-Jun-22 19:01:40

Your gut feeling was right Zoejory. Great match, shame someone has to lose.

LauraNorderr Tue 28-Jun-22 19:02:35

Cerendolo has lovely teeth.

Shez1955 Tue 28-Jun-22 19:11:43

Great match watching Rafa ?
I wonder how Serena will do? Age 40 wow!

Feelingmyage55 Tue 28-Jun-22 19:24:56

I wonder if Berrettini needs someone to plump up his pillows and mop his fevered brow?
