Can't believe the restraint the umpires are expected to show (presumably) in the face of such nonsense from pillocks like Kyrgios. Tsitsipas didn't cover himself in glory with his response either!
The umpiring was weak. Kyrgios knew this and so carried on. First offence = warning. Second offence - penalty point. He'd have stopped soon enough, one way or another. Not what I expect when tuning in to watch the genteel sport of tennis at the historic venue of Wimbledon
If the weather holds, this afternoon could be a lawn-mowing session. Alternatively, I could spend all day watching tennis/cricket
Afternoon everyone, just enjoying a very pleasant seat in the sunshine with a cuppa ☕️
Debs You’ve had a very busy week, hope you had a nice walk with your sister and can enjoy a leisurely afternoon watching TV with fiancé,
Busy Hope you have got the new plants in your jewel bed before it gets too hot, enjoy visiting the open garden this afternoon, Hazel Hope your arms are feeling less itchy today after brushing up against all the rough plants yesterday, has OH got started on the railings? Ante So pleased Max is enjoying his walks and a cool dip after, tempting for you too 🥵 It must have been fate for you to attend that get together with your friends last night, lovely photo of you all looks like a very nice group 😊 SGL Hope you have fun at the birthday party, lovely family time together & lots of excitement 🤗 Biglad I wonder which direction you took in the end, grass or sports…🤔 Have a nice afternoon everyone.
Its my great nephew's 4th birthday today. I cannot believe how quickly time is running by.
Ruby I am so pleased to hear that your OH is loving his new toy.
Chive, rain has stopped play for me today so I am enjoying more tennis - hope it is not as horrid as yesterday. I LOVE the smell of home grown tomatoes - always reminds me of my Dad and when you wash your hands after picking them, the water turns yellow. Happy memories!
Debs, it sounds as though you have a lovely day ahead of you. Enjoy your bubbles.
Busy, slap on the sun screen whilst outside. Thats you and Ante who have caught the sun! Me? Well I'm just watermarked!
Ante, what a beautiful photograph for you to keep. I am guessing that you might be the gentleman on the left of the back row as, like SGL, I remember you saying you had a beard. How nice to meet up with the special someone too.
Wotcher Biglad! I agree, that dreadful behaviour did nothing to glorify tennis. I am hoping we don't get a repeat in the next match he plays. I cannot believe the crowd who actually cheered Kyrgios either.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
I think it a reflection on the way that society has gone, @Ladybird4. Folk turning up to either goad him to a point where he spits in the their direction and slags them off in the on-court interview (previous round) or cheering his every move, when he is constantly behaving like a petulant child. His opponents then lose the plot because he's getting away with the nonsense and the crowd are against them!
Anyway, I went outside earlier and it started raining so the mowing will have to wait
Afternoon All, it’s come over cloudy so I’ve done some watering and come in, LB 🪁🚂 Happy 4th Birthday to your great nephew 🎈🎁 Sorry to hear you had rain, i hope the tennis match was more enjoyable to watch today. That tomato smell is very nostalgic 🍅 Biglad Ah well you’ve been forced to take the indoor sports option 😉 Hazel Ooh I hope your arms don’t suffer too much again later, the new Heuchera sounds lovely i hope OH has made it out of the shed 😊 Hi Rosie hope you are ok and your foot is feeling much better 👋 Have a lovely evening everyone.
