View Full Version : Yay it's WIMBLEDON!!!!
Anyone else into the tennis?????
I've got the highlights in, someone please tell Nadal, to stop picking at his shorts!!!!
Someone else tell the players NOT to grunt!!!!
Oh I hate them making those silly noises...it puts me off watching it!
I live on top of it now. Mega crowds here.Can't believe Nadal lost in straight sets.
Turn the volume down Annie :) it's a spectacle.
Well no need to tell Nadal off now he didn't make it through.
Will be watching as much as I can though. Looking out for the seniors with Bahrami that is always a laugh.
I have to admit I have never been a big fan of tennis. I was rubbish at sports at school and I think I only ever managed to hit the ball once in tennis. It went straight over the tennis court, over the fence that went round the school and down the bank into the stream. I ended up having to do a cross country run to retrieve the ball. :roflmao:
Well one can have a choice of viewing tonight.
The man with the 10 Stone Testicles is on channel 4 tonight at 9.00 p.m.:ohmy:
Anyone for tennis :)
Sharapova is grunting now, what a racket (haa haa haa)!!

Despite the noise, I shall stick to the tennis, I saw in the tv mag about that chap's monster testicle ..... I'm glad he got it sorted but I don't fancy looking at it!! I am a bit better at tennis Annie but I preferred badminton.....(shuttlecocks not horse trials)
Can't believe Nadal is out. Will this stir up Murray fever????

Oooh it's Murray......
I am going to watch Long Lost Families even though it will probably make me cry :)
I like badminton..it is one game I can play moderately well :)
I was never really sure if Murray would make it right to the top.He would still have to play Federer in the semis if they both got through,but now he has an outstanding chance.
ricardo; I felt much the same about Murray. I said earlier this might be his best chance. It would be great if he could win. This is the only tennis I watch all year!
Roll out the tissues for Annie..... :weep: :weep: :weep:

Message for admin............
I think this thread need monitoring.........it says Wimbledon but it's nothing about Wimbledon really :winks:
There seems to be an undercurrent in here............some sort of obsession with "balls" :ohmy: :winks: and a man with "10 Stone Testicles" :ohmy: and I don't think he'll be playing much tennis at Wimbledon :ohmy: :winks: :roflmao: :roflmao:
I'm actually not a sports fan at all, I was useless in all of it at School, never even won the egg and spoon race!! and never once, in all my tries, did I ever make it over that damn horse thing...........used to run up, jump and land right on the middle of it :doh: :roflmao:
Oh moosie, u do make me laugh.....!!!!!!
Auntie Moosie that is just like me! I never got over that horse thing either and the high jump scared me silly! I even had to leave Brownies because I couldn't jump over the toadstool! Oh the traumas off life. I was always the last to be picked in team games and then the team captain would moan if she ended up with little me :(

This thread made me giggle!
I am not really into tennis but will dip in and out of Wimbledon, would love Murray to win this year.
I remember watching Wimbledon on my sisters TV years ago. Take my knitting.
I loved it then. John Mac'enroe (cannot spell) was my favourite because he always made a fuss. The finals -oh dear I got so het up about them.
Nowadays don't bother so much-but I hope Andy wins this time.

Please Please someone Knock Andy Murray out
40 - Love :D
Is it me or are the women players getting better looking lol
Back in the days of Bjorn Borg, I was too busy watching the final burned our kettle dry and ruined the element. I got distracted!!! I didn't like Jimmy Connors..... Probably because he grunted. I always wanted Henman to win but unfortunately physically I don't think he was big enough. Andy Murray ..... Well physically he seems to have it. Psychologically.... I really hope so and would love to see him win.
Awwwwwwww wot's wrong with him, AceOfSpades? I haven't seen enough of the ladies to pass opinion but promise to take a look!!
Ah now your talking...that is one time I really did get into the tennis..Bjorn Borg :D
I love tennis and my two youngest played county level.The trouble it is still an elitest sport and Wimbledon make 75 million during this fortnight and put 0.75 million back into the junior game,that's why we don''t produce great players in abundance.
Having said that the British crowd are the fairest I have ever seen at any Grand Slam.
How many more grand Slams would Borg have won if he didn't retire at 26 ?
I didn't know he was that young when he retired.......

Well done Laura Robson!!
Love Wimbledon, pleased to see Laura Robson win.
Wow Federer lost!!!!!!!
There were loads of retirements....thro' injury
I know, I can't keep up today.
Rain stopped play today later on, except centre court as they have the roof now.
C'mon Murray!!!!
Well done Laura Robson!!!
Well Murray really has an outstanding chance to win Wimbledon.
He appears to be mentally more composed, his game has improved under the guidance of Lendl, is adhering himself more to the general public than he did a few years ago and I wish him all the best.
Yay for Laura again!!!!!!

Well I know that I don't really watch it, but I do catch the highlights on the news..........
So go Murray!! GO...........take the title, you can do it!!!!!:yesyes:
I felt for Laura Robson yesterday as she could easily have won. Someone once told me that being a great tennis player is 50% ability and 50% having the mental aptitude to close out games.
She was visibly upset but will learn a lot from this match and I am sure in the not too distant future will be a force to be reckoned with.
yes I felt for Laura Robson too. she's only 19 and definitely will have learned alot. also nowt wrong with her being upset as that will endear her to the public. her mental aptitude will now be stronger as next time she'll be familiar with what it feels like at that stage of the tournament. who knows, one day!!!!!
Did anyone watch the fantastic andy murray????? It was sooooooooooo nerve wracking..... iwas shouting at the telly!!! So glad he won.... he was brilliant.
C'mon ANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Genre at ladies final today. Pity that Lisicki was so nervous but as Marion Bartoli said afterwards, Lisicki will be back (she was also gracious winner as she sympathised with the tearful Lisicki, saying she knows how it feels to lose a Wimbledon final).
So it's THE BIG ONE tomorrow. C'mon Braveheart.......
Well I have to say the only tennis I have watched is the final today and my nerves were so on edge. I cried when he won! :D

Wow!!!!!!!! I can't believe Mr Murray!!!! He won...... He won!!!!!! It's so cooooolllll!!!!!
I could very very easily have cried it ssooo stressful especially that last game....!
