Ben Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Was obviously fixed. I bet Isner thought oh no not again and lost on purpose. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I ended up only half watching the Murray match cos it was so boring. Glad he won but jeez, he's yawnsome to watch. I do think tptb at Wimbledon miss a trick by not playing the middle Sunday, especially since the weather forecast for London this coming week is not good at all! Quote

I do think tptb at Wimbledon miss a trick by not playing the middle Sunday, especially since the weather forecast for London this coming week is not good at all! Yes .. as long as they let all the rabble in .. like me and not the stuffies. It would be a dream to go .. like being dropped into my TV set Bit hard on the players though .. they probably need the rest (blimmin lightweights ) What with the roof and all (and they say that No. 1 court will probably be getting a roof soon) I doubt they'll get far behind and even if they do it'll mean third Monday play and third Monday play is always great. Anyway .. have faith .. the weather will be great yes? Quote
Inver Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Well done our Andy Murray.....loved how he managed and they let him finish...dead on 11pm...very obliging. Quote
poppyshake Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Ahh .. peace and quiet reigns .. well done Sabine! She's much more adorable isn't she? .. or is that a purely female view? Come on Andy .. it's looking a bit sticky. Quote
Ben Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I was waiting for that post. At least you can watch at normal volume now. Murray takes the first set. He looked a bit cagey early on but finding his feet now. Quote
lauraloves Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Fingers crossed for Andy Murray and the rain forcast doesnt make an appearance! Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Ahh .. peace and quiet reigns .. well done Sabine! She's much more adorable isn't she? .. or is that a purely female view? No it's not - she's lovely, much prettier than Sharapova to these eyes Currently watching Ivanovic getting her arse kicked. She's so erratic but I'll keep watching, cos it won't last much longer. Still in shock she made it to the second week ... Oooh, she just won a game - go Ana! Quote
poppyshake Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I was waiting for that post. At least you can watch at normal volume now. Ahh .. alas .. we still have Azarenka I am truly sorry for your loss though Ben Murray takes the first set. He looked a bit cagey early on but finding his feet now. bloomin' rain No it's not - she's lovely, much prettier than Sharapova to these eyes. That's what I thought .. and what a lovely smile. Maria never smiles .. unless it's for money Currently watching Ivanovic getting her arse kicked. She's so erratic but I'll keep watching, cos it won't last much longer. Still in shock she made it to the second week ... Oooh, she just won a game - go Ana! Yes well, the less said about it the better .. her consolation must be that she won the 'who's prettiest' stakes easily Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Ahh .. peace and quiet reigns .. well done Sabine! She's much more adorable isn't she? .. or is that a purely female view? I agree! I love watching her play as she seems to enjoy it so much, and seems genuinely delighted when she wins. I'm watching her play Kerber at the moment (and thankfully neither of them grunts!), and the second set has just gone to a tie-break Come on Sabine!!! Quote
poppyshake Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Oh what a shame but Sabine just didn't serve well at all. Never mind .. Kerber played well. Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) I actually find the noise Azarenka makes more annoying than Sharapova ... but there's not much in it Looks like it's going to be an easy run to the title for Serena now. I thought the only ones who might beat her were Sharapova or Kvitova ... Was that the NHL player Alex Ovechkin I spied watching Kirilenko? Edit: It was! From her Wikipedia page: "In November 2011, Russian hockey player Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals identified Kirilenko as his girlfriend on his Twitter account" And his must've just been updated today: "It was reported during Wimbledon 2012 that he is dating Russian Tennis player Maria Kirilenko. He attended her Quarterfinal match during the tournament." Edited July 3, 2012 by Karsa Orlong Quote
no-1-book-fan Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Murray and Ferrer should be a terrific contest on the evidence of today's matches. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Watching the Paszek/Azarenka game, and rooting for Paszek because at least she doesn't make ridiculous noises when she hits the ball! Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Watching the Paszek/Azarenka game, and rooting for Paszek because at least she doesn't make ridiculous noises when she hits the ball! Ditto! Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Meh! Blimmin' Azarenka. Never thought I'd say this, but I hope Serena kicks her arse Hang on, Barry Davies is trying to make out he knows about the NHL, talking about Alex Ovechkin Quote
poppyshake Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Serena in another final though .. my boredom levels couldn't stand it. I'd rather Azarenka because that would give me someone to hate and make it marginally more interesting I really wanted Lisicki to get through because I honestly couldn't care about the rest. Though I do like how neat and tidy Kirilenko is ... and Radwanska for that matter. I hate seeing all the bra straps .. drives me mad Who was that woman the other day in black socks? I would have defaulted her straight away. Oh and another thing .. Tracy Austin .. the noise she makes is almost worse than the grunting. Edited July 3, 2012 by poppyshake Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Serena in another final though .. my boredom levels couldn't stand it. I can't stand Serena, hate her demeanour on court. But I hate that noise Azarenka makes even more Quote
lauraloves Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Bit nail-biting with Andy Murray at the minute . . . Quote
Ben Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 It's just so close. Wouldn't bet against another tie-breaker. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 The BBC One HD channel is unavailable Having to watch on standard format. Just got back to find Murray in another tie-break Quote
Ben Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 YES! Very gritty tie-break from Murray there, did well to come out on top! 1-1. Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 YES!!! Go Andy! (and HD is back online now, so a much happier me, too, as I can actually make out what's going on ) Quote
poppyshake Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Both Murray's match and Tsonga's are nailbitingly close ... I'm flicking between the two when it gets sticky (constantly in other words) .. come ON the pair of you Quote
