I an not in the country, but we are by the television waiting on match point. So exciting.

TillyTrotter Wed 06-Jul-22 19:30:36

What a match … !!
Magnificent Rafa!
I am so pleased Rafa Nadal closed it out on the tie break. ? ?
Taylor Fritz can take a bow - he was amazing. ?

If they show David Beckham one more time I’ll scream.

fairfraise Wed 06-Jul-22 19:15:20

Fritz is so laid back at the changeovers.

Grandmadinosaur Wed 06-Jul-22 19:02:02

You can say that again ?

Callistemon21 Wed 06-Jul-22 18:58:40

Well, this is tense!

Jaxjacky Wed 06-Jul-22 18:44:50

Me too Tilly

TillyTrotter Wed 06-Jul-22 17:51:49

Rafa was wearing a pain relief patch on his stomach in the previous match.
I hope he can still power through and win this match. ?

merlotgran Wed 06-Jul-22 17:42:22

Well played Kyrgios

tickingbird Wed 06-Jul-22 17:07:40

Rafa has a stomach strain on top of the foot. He can’t serve or move properly. His dad was gesturing as if to say “come off, leave it” but still he soldiers on. I don’t know how he can win but if he does he’ll have to get through Kyrgios (probably) then Djokovic (likely). I so want him to win.

Oh thank goodness Rafa got the second set. I'll take the dogs out before things get tense again.

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

Oh no!

Rafa is not on form, maybe has foot problems?

Grannybags Wed 06-Jul-22 16:37:44

Cliff looked awful didn’t he

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

Oh blimey did you see cliff richard ??‍♀️

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

Rafa is not right, gone off the court. ?

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

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

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…?!!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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