It's Wimbledon

[oldcolner]

Anyone excited?
Wawrinka falls at the first, Murray gets another ice bath and plays the German guy who blew Rafa away last year.

Aye OC, I am a tennis buff.

BUT I am currently involved in constructing a complicated set of shelves. I should have gone to Ikea...

Djokovic and Konta for me.

I shudder any time Wimbledon get mentioned. That FA Cup defeat still rankles!

[Altobelli]

Not for me, a waste of Licence money having it on 2 channels throwing money at McEnroe, Becker and all the rest.

Not much to get excited about yet. Bedene beating Karlovic and Kyle Edmunds getting his first win in four years whilst Fed and Djokovic get retiral byes.

Four Brits in last 32 so far.
Andy disposes of Brown, Konta squeezes through 10-8 in third, heather Watson finds it easy and Bedene gets through in 4 after coping with swarms of flying ants.

Two Brits left Murray after a foggy session and Konta couldn't have done better, and six over30s so far into men's quarter finals with Fed still playing to make it a record 7. Andies brother knocked out of men's double

Cracking game Murray and Fognini last night, Murray looked on his way out at one point but somehow managed to turn it round. He doesn't look 100% though Andy, I'll be surprised if he wins it this year.

We talk about footballers getting ridiculous salaries and yet we have seen tennis players getting £35,000 this week for less than an hour on court. Mind boggling!

[oldcolner]

SS
Yes, but they only get that for one week and possibly once a year for some. Footballers can get double that every week every year, plus bonuses image rights etc.
