TENNIS THREAD- WIMBLEDON- part 3! Will the Plucky Brit make it to the end? Will there be 2 Italian winners at the weekend? Will Cobolli have to move house again?

[Raahh]

We will probably need another thread before the weekend anyway- but these are important questions.

Still can't believe the score in the Felix match
So much for Djok being 'hampered'.
Hopefully Jannik won't be thinking about AO when they meet in the semi final- and remembering the previous 5 times he beat him.
At least we know he will get a favourable time slot- because he is playing Djok. It's going to get hot over the next few days and we can't have Jannik wilting.
Will be rooting for Jasmine today- and Flavio (sorry Arthur).
Not too bothered who wins the Fritz/Zverev match - but Taylor has a massive advantage in that head to head.

I watched the end in bed and was falling asleep. I turned it off when he started dancing….didn’t bother with the post match analysis

I’ll be rooting for Jasmine and Arthur (sorry Flavio).

Don’t mind who wins the other two matches.

I’m rooting for Arthur also @ChessieFL what a fairytale if he should win

The dancing was bad!

I used to have to rush to turn the TV off just before he did his silly heart celebration - I need to be a bit quicker with the dancing!

You need to be even quicker than that fizzy. I* *rush to change channels whenever he pops up I don't watch him play, so there's no chance I'll ever see him dance!

I've got an appointment this afternoon, so will miss the women's singles (come on Jasmine!) and probably the start of Arthur's match (come on Arthur!!).

Yes kazza it’s probably best to avoid him altogether - I do try - if there’s any other tennis on I will watch that

Taylor Fritz has been quietly moving through the rounds - is he still wearing the suit or has he managed to ditch it?

I saw a weird post the other week where he’d been to a Renaissance Faire - a bit like a historical reenactment type thing where he was in a costume, throwing knives and eating a giant turkey leg! I bet Morgan wouldn’t have let him to do that sort of thing

Thought

British players tend not to do well.

Murray trained in Spain

Fery trained in the US

Hot Tip for Brits trying to make it

Go abroad!!!

Fizzy hopefully Fritz has ditched the jacket. And definitely the scarf- too hot for that shenanigans.

Very early reference to Jasmine's height!

I'm a bit sick of them going on about her height, next they'll be talking about how smiley and cheerful she is.

Unfortunately, it is Tracy Austin commentating, who I cannot stand listening to.

We had plenty of that earlier when Isa was talking about the todays matches. .

The height comments amuse me though- she's 8 inches taller than I am She's a giant.

How tall is she, im under 5ft, everyone looks tall next to me, too!

Plucky Brit has French parent
Djokovic really annoys me: he starts playing up and shouting when opponent on winning streak; try's to be a 'character' to please the crowd, but fails miserably
Sinner is soooo boring

French parents

Come on Jasmine.

Jasmine is 5’ 4’’ - which is a perfectly normal height - I have only been watching for 10 minutes and been informed of this twice!

Does anyone else hate Kostyuk’s frilly dress?

Jasmine must be happy to be reunited with the ice sausages.

I think it’s really pretty!

I think I might need an ice sausage in the next few days

I actually really like it- at least it looks like a tennis dress. Wilson also designed her wedding dress.
