Anyone see Heather Watson, our British girl.
She played out of her socks and just didn't make it but she gave Serena a run.
So disappointed she didn't win but one of the best matches I have seen in years.

Wow!
I don't watch tennis but hubby was watching and I became hooked...absolutely fantastic! !
She certainly gave Serena a worry!
PN x x

I would have loved her to beat Serena.
-
I'm gutted.
She played so very well but just not quite enough. I watched it over dinner and I've now got indigestion. Jumping up and down and shouting obviously does nothing for the digestive system ;D

Same here HB, dinner took a lot longer tonight!
I was so willing her to win!
Serena didn't even sign autographs. ..seems arrogant to me.
>:( (http://>:()

Her cage was well and truly rattled. I think she thought it was going to be a walk over and it was anything but.
Now Serena plays her sister. I'm convinced in the past they had a toss up to see who would win.
As you can probably tell I'm not a Williams fan ::)
And how about the guy that beat Nadal. Boy I hope he keeps on going. He has no coach and no trainer and lives in a camper van :o

No idea who you are talking about ::) (http://::)) but anyone who lives in a campervan has my vote ;) (http://;))

It was a great match and like everyone else I was willing Heather to win. She certainly did herself proud and must be a talent for the future. She showed such self control in comparison to Serena's dramatics, screaming etc, don't think I can bear to watch the Williams sisters playing each other, I don't care for either of them. Glad too that Dustin beat Nadal, it's refreshing to see some new talent on display plus I love his dreadlocks!!I'm not usually bothered about the first week of Wimbledon but with the hot weather keeping us at home more DH and I have watched some really exciting matches and he's not usually a tennis fan. Andy Murray still to come.

I love Andy, my son looks just like him... ::)
But it's never an easy thing to do as there is always drama.
Yes that's him...Dustin Brown. What a traditional player, a blast from the past with his style.
I don't know who he is playing next but I will be watching.

I saw it and I was just like Honeybun, jumping up and down from the dinner table. When it got to 3-0 in the final set we took our dinner into the sitting room on our laps. I had palpitations by the end of it (the tennis not my sausages). Heather can hold her head high. I dislike Serena Williams and am glad she had to work hard for her win.
-
;D I agree Purplenanny ………. Pity our Girl didn't beat Serena hopefully she won't be too disappointed.
As for the guy with dreadlocks, there was a super photo in one of the daily papers taken as he shook his head and from behind the locks somehow ……..
I think the Old Guard are on their way out, having arrived in similar style - time for the new Studs to arrive ;)
-
We were lucky enough to have been there ! The crowd really got to Serena ,must be very daunting though when practically everyone is is against you. At times I was cringing it really isn't cricket as they say to cheer a mistake ! ::)
-
We saw it up until half way through 2nd set as we were heading out for a meal. In pub later we saw the rest of it. My SIL & I were jumping up & down. Such a shame Heather lost out, but shows she can play with the big names & hold her own. Well done to her!
-
Maybe Heather next year???
-
She has shown what she is capable of, she is just beginning to come into her own. The new generation of stars is emerging.
Not sure about Dustin, think he could be a nine days wonder and disappear as strangely as he arrived
-
Anyone else watching Andy just now? He can do it!!
-
And on he goes! :clapping:
-
And he's done it!
-
:-\ injured ?
-
Nope, tactics CLKD, just tactics ::)
Yes through to the second week.

What - not winning a point for 40 mins. is tactics :-\ ……..

Calling the trainer on was a tactical move though. Things turned around then.

He's a much more powerful player this year; and a much more confident one.
-
played Seppi at his own game re the trainer and it paid off. But I had to take the dog out as I was getting palpitations watching it unfold :o
-
;D ….. dog didn't mind!
-
Glad they have changed the format of the Clare Balding highlights show this week, it was awful last week with that 'Top Gear/Top of the Pops' studio audience. Back to the normal John Inverdale type format this week.
-
I don't watch the Wimbledon 2day prog, but I believe format had to be changed due to numerous complaints.
Sorry to see Anderson go out today though, I fancied his chances at beating Djokovic.
-
Nail biting final. I can't leave the tv!
-
Come on Roger!
-
Rain stopped play?
-
Started again.....come on Rog.

Yep ……….. >sigh<

Really glad Djokovic won!
-
I wanted Federer to win. I find Djokovic slightly arrogant.
-
Yes me too for Federer, hope he can come back and sort for next year, a good solid bloke , :P
-
We were shouting for Federer here. I do think Djokovic is a good player, just don't like his attitude.
-
Each to their own.................... :)
-
My nephew was a ballboy at the tennis at the O2 a few years back and he said Djokovic was the nicest of all the players. I did find him a bit arrogant this year though, I've never thought so before.
-
I didn't think Djokovic had any attitude at all, just a bit of a man on a mission.
They do say he is a gentleman. I did want Roger to win but he has been known to be a bit arrogant too. Last year he had a tantrum at one point and that really surprised me.

Of course I really wanted Andy to win :'(
-
Oh me too. He is an excellent tennis player but just doesn't seem to have the brilliance that the top two have.
I would love to see him win again.

I wanted Andy to win too.
Djokovic snapped at one of the ball girls and made her cry. He had to apologise.
-
If Federer had played against Andy the way he did on Sunday, Andy might have got to final. But hey ho. Andy will always get my backing. Was willing his brother on too.
