You'll be getting a knock at the door later, Jeff. And it ain't going to be from the umpire.

 

If you see white unmarked Transit van and/or hear Balkan accents, just start running.

Hopefully they take his Partner in crime on this thread too .

Seriously who gives a deck if he’s tooK s towel ! Absolute fuds

Murray with a cheeky underarm serve. 😁

Lendl will skelp his arse for that. I remember him being unimpressed when Chang slipped him one in Paris.

Well done Andy. 

 

Oh heck, he plays the horrible Isner next.

I think the Americans have been trying to sell Isner to Ukraine as part of their long-range artillery capabilities.

 

 

🤣 

[AlimOzturk]

Well done Murray. Hopefully gets a good run here. 

[neilnunb]

Oh Heather Watson up to her usual tricks. 🙄

Interesting you've gone straight down the abduction/kidnapping route, James.

 

I was simply suggesting that some Serbs might want to go jogging with Mr Furios.

No they are both making spurious allegations against Mr Novak , so deserve to be “ questioned “ about that ! By any means necessary 😡😎😜

Oh Chang was one of my favourites. A proper wee fighter on the court.

Tennis.

 

It’s a tennis thread.

And she has. 1-1 with the match picking up there tomorrow. Will they get to stay on court one?

 

Play stopped for the day.

 

Heather is leaving us in suspenders

Noooooooooo...

 

Berrettini has tested positive for Covid so has had to withdraw.

 

 

[neilnunb]

Didn't realise Cilic has also withdrawn.

Unreal . And guess who this favours ? Yes the luckiest person in tennis just now , Nadal 

[JudyJudyJudy]

So basically it’s a complete waste of time ensuring players are vaccinated since vaccinated players like Berrettini caught it ? As was noted in Jan ? What a shit show this Wimbledon is turning out to be , no Russian players , no ranking points , etc 

[neilnunb]

Peniston through to round 2 👍

[Jambo 4 Ever]

Murray did well yesterday 

 

wonder how far away from British number he is now

Maybe around 3/4 behind Norrie and Evans and possibly Broady ? 

[PortyJambo]

Murray's #3 British player at the moment, ranked #52 overall behind Norrie at #11 and Evans at #35. Of course, there'll be no change after Wimbledon no matter how far any of them go, with no ranking points on offer.

 

Draper is the one that's been moving up quickly recently, now #87 in the world.

 

Edit - Peniston as well, though he's still outside the top 100, but he was >200 not that recently.

I don’t the love in for Nick Kyrgios especially when he is playing a British player

He’s a character , hence the love in . He’s an entertainer .

[JudyJudyJudy]

Dunno why I’ll miss Berretinni 

 

 

 

 

[PortyJambo]

Kyrgios taken to a 5th set.

 

He's an entertainer, and is certainly different to the usual tennis automatons....but he's still a bit of a prick

[neilnunb]

Heather Watson won her delayed match *faints*

[Nookie Bear]

He's everything most modern players are not. While that'll stop him being a top player in terms of wins, you need people like him in it to make things interesting.

There has always been characters but the vast majority of players have also been dull. No different now from what we have seen before, we just happen to remember the lovely ones. 
 

imo, of course 👍🏻

[Victorian]

John Inverdale really is a fud.

What do think up the underarm serve? All's fair in love and war, as far as I'm concerned.

[neilnunb]

Well at least Nadal has dropped a set 🙂

It’s a clever tactic to be used sparingly though .

You often get players having a difficult first round . Not unexpected really . I have seen his opponent play before but can’t recall who’s he played . He’s not bad actually . 

[neilnunb]

Nadal broken in the 4th. We have a match maybe. 🥳

Do you think a younger Andy would have spat the dummy, if someone did it to him.

Andy Murray Always spits the dummy out  ! He’s miserable as sin

 

[JudyJudyJudy]

Tiger Tim and John inverdale absolutely excruciating. Bring back Dan Maskell or Gerald Williams . 😂😂

[ri Alban]

John Inverdale is fud. He ruins everything.

[neilnunb]

Nadal breaks back 🤬🤬🤬🤬

A timeless post, V. I've avoided him for quite a few years. 

[I P Knightley]

I meant to flag up the match of the day for you: Maxime Cressy and FA-A are only 3 and a half hours into their match. Switch to it if you can. The winner could well be in the last 4.

[neilnunb]

Kick him out!

I’ve decided not to watch it . Too painful really . Best to remember her as supreme champion she has been .
