That was a cliff hanger!

I am intrigued by the 'jackets' worn by the linespeople this year.
Can't think of a better way to describe them - they are like a cross between a cardi and a waistcoat. To me, they seem far too short, for the men at least. A smart blazer would look much more 'finished' and go some way to concealing a lot of er, generous tums.

I saw a couple of very generous tums yesterday, the style is most unflattering.

likxy I workday certainly have dropped a few stitches*.

Fabulous match!
Oh I do love Wimbledon fortnight, Dinner is cooked according to how exciting or otherwise the match is

No one else been watching Theim v Tsitsipas? What a match. You couldn’t have picked a winner.
I won’t say who won in case anyone will watch on catch up. So worth watching.

Yes excellent match - thoroughly enjoyed it.

I wanted Thiem to win, even though I like Tsitsipas. Poor Thiem has had such bad luck over the past couple of years with his wrist injury. It was a tough draw for him to come up against a top 5 player in his first match.

Well done Broady

Fantastic performance from Liam Broady! My nerves are shredded. Not sure I can cope with Andy Murray playing quite a lot later.

I have been channel hopping between Boulter and Broady whenever it got too tense!

Boulder made hard work of that!

Still👍👍

Terrific match at the moment between Sloane Stephens and Donna Vekic.

Liam was a dream to watch. Nightmare at times but overall, a dream

Great for Liam, he’s got more than 80grand now😂
Well done him

One of my friends bath cooks pre-Wimbledon. Meals for the fortnight are in the freezer ready to heat up or has a salad depending on the weather. We all know not to phone/call/arrange social events while the tournament is on!

batch cooks - not bath cooks! That conjures up quite a different picture!

Murray is causing me palpitations!

My children and grandchildren were here at the weekend laughing about Wimbledon fortnight. When they were children they knew that for 2 weeks there was no children's television and always salad for tea!

I have just switched on. Ouch!

OMG! I needed an early night tonight but don’t think I’ll get one. Surely they won’t play to a finish tonight will they?

They're playing until 11 pm.

I'm anxiety eating, this is no good for a diet!!

Play will be suspended if they are playing at 11pm and resumed tomorrow. I believe this requirement was imposed as part of the planning permission for the court roofs, as the Club is in a residential area. Come on Andy, it’s getting a bit nerve wracking!

I absolutely love Wimbledon, and have done since I was quite young, but our players shred my nerves!
Gripping stuff tonight.

Murray Tsitsipas a real humdinger of a match.
Am getting on with the crochet blanket about 2 stitches at a time!

My poor dog is petrified. She's used to quiet and leisurely evenings and I'm here, yelling my head off.

Doing my best to keep calm but it's not easy.

I managed 4 rows but they're tighter than similar stitches further down the blanket!!

I can't bear it.
