Wimbledon

Apart from tennis at its best I was also impressed with the way both players behaved. So different from Mr Murray whose tantrums and swearing is beyond the limit - dreadful man

But I will get so much more done!!!

That was an outstanding match - they pushed each other to their limits and either one could have taken the title. I'm going to miss it being on every day.

Fab match - I wanted Rafa but he was far away in Majorca with his feet up, or practising for his next match.

I wanted Federer to win - but what a splendid match!

Same here; sometimes you have to see someone lose to realise how good they are and Federer was amazing, but I wanted Novac to win. It was a brilliant game; almost like watching a demonstration of how to play great tennis. Shame there had to be a loser, really.

Well I don`t know about the rest of yu GNetters but I`m drained and exhausted but it was a wonderful final. congratulations to Novak Djojovic

Can someone explain why during doubles matches the players keep touching hands between points, it's getting on my wick - hope that isn't a rude expression

Tegan it too takes me ages to unpack, sort the washing, have a cuppa or two, read the post, check my emails, walk round the garden and look forward to sleeping in my own bed.

Semi-final on at the moment isn't very exciting. At least they are differently dressed and have different coloured hair!

....scream in an aggressive way you mean! Why does it take me an hour to pack for a holiday and two weeks to unpack [sometimes more...]?

Housework ! What's that ?

If I hear the word 'aggressive' again I will scream.

..yes, I will miss it. I'll have to do some housework for a start ....

I don't understand how a tennis player that has only played womens tennis can help a male tennis player in any way . Just as with other sports [football managers who were players/racehorse trainers who were jockeys] being good at a sport doesn't mean that you're good at teaching/training others to be good. It was a very strange choice for Murray, I felt. But it was interesting to hear how few Wimbledon Champions have retained their crown the following year..I was surprised to hear that. I do find Raonic uncharismatic though . Can I be honest and say that I've never liked Serena; I love Venus; always have, always will..she was like a breath of fresh air when she appeared on the scene but I can't warm to Serena.

Yes Murray was not himself. In a way I found it quite refreshing that he wasn't doing his usual negative self talk and mouthing words to his team, which really annoys. There is talk that his new trainer Ameli M might be leaving his employ, she's only been with him about a month.

Tegan you may feel a bit 'burnt out' now but next week when it is all over you, perhaps like me, will be missing it badly.

I think I'm a bit burned out what with football and tennis. Interesting that the guy who beat Murray said that he'd learned a lot from Sharapova's [his girlfriend's] work ethic..having now become her fan after yesterdays match [can't believe I'm saying that ] I can understand what he means. The S.O. only caught part of the match but said he felt straight away that Murray didn't seem to be himself. Is it just me, but there seem to be more matches this year? I know there aren't . The women's tennis is incredible. It's so exhausting though, isn't it!

I'm exhausted after all these nail biting matches, think I might have a day off tomorrow! my bum's numb
New gate needs painting anyway.

Great match but I'm getting fed up with the racket from Kyrgios's supporters. Dan Maskell must be spinning in his grave.

Raonic looks like someone from Boys Own Comic [or Ripping Yarns] and seems a bit bland [sorry Raonic ].

Good to see Federer has made it to the semi-finals. I was beginning to think there would be no familiar faces on court before long.

So sorry Andy`s out he didn`t play well but on the positive side he has been improving at a great rate since his surgery and he wasn`t playing well really until the French Open where he got to the semis and Wimbeldon the quarters roll on the US Open always one I think he excels at.

But didn`t Dimitrov play well?

Currently watching Kyrgios and Raonic match shaping up to be a goodie

One of my teeth has jist disintegrated now and can't get to the dentist till Friday as on school run duties tomorrow. What else can go wrong?

Serena is reported as having a viral infection which could mean anything.

The mention of chocolate made me decide to make a smoothie with lots of cocoa in it; for the first time ever I hadn't put the seal in the blender properly and I now have milk all over the kitchen [and I still want some chocolate]. It's been one of those days. Maybe there's a bug going round Wimbledon? Djokovic is looking a bit spaced out as well.

What on earth has happened to Serena Williams. In the double, before she bowed out- she looked totally stoned or as if she'd had a stroke

Djokovic is looking a little out of sorts and Wawrinka is giving Federer a hard time. Andy may not be alone.
