Anyone for tennis
« on: June 24, 2013, 07:09:33 PM »

This is my favourite fortnight. Wimbledon....Just great.

I watched the programme last night about Andy Murray. What a nice lad. My son is his double....so many people have remarked on it.

Nadal is the shock result today.

Wonder if this is the year.

Everyone thinks Andy is dour, arrogant. He is just a nice ordinary lad who just happens to play amazing tennis. Watched Federer game. That was a lesson on good tennis. Never thought Nadal would go so soon.
It would be the icing on the cake if Andy won, but there are a few games to go yet.
Fingers crossed though.

I think the programme on Andy showed him for the nice young man he is. He does cry easily which was surprising.

Sorry Nadal has gone out so soon. He is a brilliant player....I am a bit of a fan to be honest.

Federer is sooooo cool.

Just LOVE Wimbledon!  I've even managed to convert my previously ambivilant daughter to it - she's got the Wimbledon app on her phone so she can follow it where-ever she is!  Nadal was a huge shock, but shocks happen at Wimbledon every year - it's one of the great things about the tournament ... makes every match worth watching.

<yawn>  ;D - I did watch and enjoy the Charity match at Queens a couple of weeks ago with Boris, Sir Richard et al - that was humerous and what sport should be about.  Andy certainly came over smiley that evening!

He's obviously a very private person. There is a soft heart in there!  When he's off court & relaxed he is so different. 
Loved documentary on him.

I just can't see the point in it! I don't like any sport though, not just tennis, so I haven't got anything against the game I just don't "get it"!  I think it's because I don't seem to have a competitive bone in my body and without the urge to win sport fails to have a meaning.

I'm not competitive these days.  I don't understand tennis.  I can't stand the noise that 'they ' make when serving.  Why not toss a coin then head for the pub.  ;)

Where's the fun in that CLKD?  ;). Tennis is the only individual sport I really enjoy watching.

Golf is the only sport I watch on the tv. Never played it, never will, but I enjoy watching.

Watch golf too, sometimes. My family all golfed, never given the opportunity to try, but that's a whole new ball game.  ;D

Love tennis and used to play, occasionally wave a racket in the vague direction of a ball, but I can't run any more  ::)
Love football too - well the skilful stuff, not kick 'n rush.
I've played (at) golf - I am hopeless at it. Would rather play it than watch it though. I love sport, but not all sport. F1 drives me insane  ;D

I understand frustration at the game not going your way when you're used to it doing so, but you don't hit a ball flat out right at your opponent, like Federer just did.
