Tennis 2022

(Iconic run by Queen Bouzkova, we love to see it)

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Heathers match delayed to 2.15 due to all this centre court frolicking

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Loving the parade of old champions though

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Margaret Court can fuck off

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Shame there is no Agassi, Sampras or Graf

 

[Ellie]

Nice to see Goran. I could have done without the singer, but teared up when they showed Novotna

 

[Apoca]

Margaret Court can fuck off

Hope her hotel in the city center was right next to the Pride parade. Evil old hag.

 

[Apoca]

Nice to see Goran. I could have done without the singer, but teared up when they showed Novotna

It always catches me off-guard and I always get an instead lump in my throat.

Also, Venus looked like a VISION but then, she pretty much always does.

 

[jyxz]

I’d forgotten she had died

Alcazar

 

[Ellie]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ginger Italian before.

 

[Apoca]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ginger Italian before.

They always hail from the Alps.

But hope Sinner wins this, he's stagnated in the last few months and his tennis is too big and good to not be top tier consistently.

 

[straightorbroken]

My last date was a ginger Italian. Didn't know who Gala was so it wasn't all pluses.

Alcazar

Mi Amore Annikafiore approves of this Freudian slip

 

[Ellie]

GO ON SINNER

 

[rhythmbandit]

Knew that would happen.

Not looking good for Cam, either.

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

David Goffin is playing absolutely beautiful Belgian tennis. It’s very angular and quite unexpected in places and so refreshing. It’s all clearly too novel for Cam, much like this exquisite piece of Belgian art history:

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

And how quickly tennis changes. BREAK!!!!

 

[rhythmbandit]

And how quickly tennis changes. BREAK!!!!

And then he dropped serve in his opening 3rd set game.

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

I mean it’s 4 games to love mate what are you even playing at

 

[rhythmbandit]

Doesn't really matter who wins, neither have the weapons to beat Novak.

 

[Madison]

 

[Jark]

this Norrie Goffin game has become quite delicious. there's nothing like a Wimbledon crowd on a sunny evening to spur on the last great British hope

 

[rhythmbandit]

Break Goffin now plz.

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

OMG I get embroiled in ONE spreadsheet battle and suddenly it’s a classic

 

[rhythmbandit]

Oh my.

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

!!!!!

 

[Ellie]

Come on Tim

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

Cam could really do with a trip to a Turkish barber though his hair is so TUFTY

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

Also is there anything more amazing than the empathy and meta-awareness of a Wimbledon crowd. Unique.

 

[Jark]

FUCK YES

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

MUM!!!

 

[Ellie]

So happy I have Friday off to watch the Semis.

 

[lolly]

 

[HerSereneHighnessAnniFrid]

Come ONS! I would just die if she won the whole thing x

 

[rhythmbandit]

Thrilled for Cam, considering he's never made it past the third round in any slam. Luckily for Novak and himself they have 2 days off.

 

[Ellie]

 

[BoysForSeles]

Great tournament for Norrie making the most his draw. He played Novak once, last year, and lost 6-2 6-1, hopefully he can be more competitive here.

I think the women’s event needs a Halep v Jabeur final.

Wondering if the assault allegations surrounding Kyrgios today will affect his play and behaviour tomorrow.

 

[Apoca]

Come ONS! I would just die if she won the whole thing x

Ons was my pretty much my #1 pick when the tournament started. Both realistically and wishlist.

Mind, I have a lot of time for Halep herself but I hate that she's part of the Mouratoglou machine now. Cult-like stuff.

 

[Apoca]

Still mad about this loss but come through ginger fashion overlord.
