Wimbledon '13: Point by Point Coverage

[tikigirl]

You guys are making me blush.

Sharapova/Larcher de Brito are making me want to jam an icepick through my eardrums.

Bernard Tomic retired midway through doubles match due to hamstring. So that's one to watch for tomorrow (along with Ferrer's ankle).

Wow what is up with the grass courts. Last man standing has taken a literal turn.

Maria out in straight sets? What's in the drinking water at SW17?

What's in the drinking water at SW17?

I'm wondering if the non-seeded locker room did something to the seeded locker room.

How badly do you think the worldwide broadcasting channels are praying for Roger in this match right now? Losing Rafa, losing Tsonga, losing Maria, losing Vika (to a lesser extent)--they don't want Rog going anywhere.

I'm glad we've got Darren for this match. He's really explaining how the way Sergiy and Roger are moving on court helps them on grass (please don't let anyone fall down).

I hope and believe that Fed knows how to move on grass. And yeah Wimbledon without Fed in the 2nd week would be a sad, sad thing. I mean there's still Djok and Andy, but 2 contenders are not enough! Plus they may be loved by many, but who's the superstar in tennis? They may be better than he is right now(in fact, they are), but Fed is the man. JMac and his bullshit notwithstanding, nobody compares to Fed.

I can't feel too bad about Pova losing, that's 2 out of 3 of the screamers out, and LDB I don't expect to last as long as Pova would've. Though I hate to see Vika out due to injury. Losing is okay, getting hurt is not. And damn I thought Serena had it in a cakewalk anyway, but now?? Flukes can happen, but who's her competition? Nada.

Stuck w JMac on my stream, and tried doing radio Wimbledon but they were a point behind..... I am reinterpreting I'm to see that he just wants to see Roger lose. He is basically coaching Stakhovsky.

Wish I wasn't so addicted to the ambient sounds of Centre Court; I'd mute for sure.

(Going to look for a new stream after the set, I guess.)

oops, can you get ESPN3? Maybe not because you can't put in a cable system? They would have Darren and Chris.

[oopssorry]

Yeah, can't get Darren... . Gonna try because unbearable now with the break..

[acre]

Oh, don't do this to me, I beg of you ! I've made my peace with you losing in the quarterfinals, but the 2nd round? Noooooooooooooooo!

[oopssorry]

Bloody hell I am too bloody old for this.

[tikigirl]

For real, oops!

Annual summer announcement: I will be at Chicago Union Station for a few hours on Sunday, July 14, with tikiboy this time. If anyone can be there, drinks are on me!

[acre]

I can't even watch. Though I am checking the Wimbledon live scores obsessively.

[oopssorry]

I turned it off - hoping to see you in July, tiki ----

[acre]

I can't even ... fuck, just fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. So now I basically don't give a shit about Wimbledon. Wimbledon!
