It's been a week of shocks at SW19, with plenty of big names dropping out - either due to poor performance, injury, or a little bit of both. The ladies' draw has a path mostly open for Serena Williams to take another trophy, whilst the men's looks set for a highlight match between Djokovic and Murray, as the other top seeds keep falling by the way side. For British fans, we have two players into the second week, with stat-fans pointing out it's the first time since 1998.
Wimbledon, Week 2
Published by Christine Blachford on
commentators mocking navarro. worst challenges at wimbledon.
"that one was closer to the hill than the line"
c'mon tim!
(laura)
hi
two big matches on at the same time, might get a sore thumb flicking through the channels.
of course im going for 'aussie' laura tonight and also sabine lisicki, probably the only one who can match serenas power in the other match.
plenty of golfers at the Williams v Lisicki match, ian poulter, ernie els, jack nicholaus... well at least three.
didn't realise. now i'm torn!
first set tie-break for robson.
Keeping a surreptitious eye on the beeb live text. Games don't seem quite so long when you're watching, rather than waiting for an update :)
wohoo sabine breaks serenas serve, up 4-2 in the first
shot laura.
nice shot , I should say
ooh did that bounce before the net
what a return on set point..........
yes first set to sabine wohoo 6-2
wha? amazing.
doh!
robson threw away a 5-2 advantage. one set down.
she is matching the Williams power, serena is a little rattled but will step up now in the second I think.
well serena up 4-1 in the second, that happened pretty quick.
serena takes the second set, come on sabine..
robson in a bit of trouble. needs to break to save the match.
5th match point. surely all over?
job done. laura had no fight in the 2nd set. first was close, but after that it went downhill.
crowd really behind lisicki
williams looses her footing twice running for the ball but gets it over. not graceful, but effective.
unbelievable match,come on sabine...serve it out
match point for lisicki!
bah
big serve now
that's not what I wanted......
thats better
WOWOWOWOWOWOW
oh my god.
williams OUT OF WIMBLEDON.
woooooooohooooooooooo. very nice
that was fabulous.
I am absolutely loving Wimbles this year, all those upsets! hello everyone :)
hi
what a tourney this year. I think sabine can go all the way, her game suits the grass.
awww, sabine loses it during the interview.
*waves*
i'm not getting much work done, but wow it's worth it.
You have a good enough excuse, it's Wimbles!! :)
I'm really sad i've not been able to watch as much of it as i'd like, but it's been a big week for me, and luckily every single match i've caught has been a great one :)
Lets just hope muzza's match is straight forward :)
oh goodness, i pop out for a bit and he has a disaster of a set. Muzza, come on!
radwanska match point.
done.
don't panic.
That might be my fault, I came home from work and he started losing games almost immediately. Luckily I'm heading back out to football now so that should allow him to start winning again
2nd set for murray.
hard to argue against that evidence ;)
Left work having been told by our tennis expert that he was going to lose the second set. Got in to find he only needed one point for the set. What a great place to pick up the coverage
He is 92% British so you know he is playing well
http://andymurrayometer.com/#
:)
e.a.s.y
lukeh, you can come back now.
Game set and match
:)
Amazing statement from Andy Murray. He has not played a left handed player all year. His next opponent is left handed
Right, I'm here. I think I missed quite a lot today!
just a little!
it's okay tho, cause Muzza got through :) *phew* :)
OMG. Haas just broke Djokovic's serve. That is going to annoy him
heheeee
You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
:D
I watched his game on Saturday. In 3 sets he only lost 4 points on his serve to the world number 25
see? I helped.
Djokovich just broke him back. Didn't take long
Yea, I mean, I don't want to overdo it, but he's quite good.
loving that Eddie Redmayne is there :)
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/07/01/article-2352351-1A9A5770000005DC-461_964x656.jpg
He's the one who played in that celebrity match?
yep yep! :)
ehehe he was rocking the hat look just a moment ago..
Djokovic breaks his serve again
2 - 0 in sets
ergh BBC I'm GOING TO SCREAM!
I tweeted the last time they switched. They are obviously just doing it to annoy me now
so.annoying.
Just tweeted again. Hopefully they will leave that game on the red button until it finishes
my sky has now frozen trying to turn on the red button again, which means i can only hear the match. grrr bbc...
Djokovic fell awkwardly on his hand. Looking at his wrist as if it is painful.
Served and won the next point though
Djokovic has this in the bag now. Broke Haas again and now 5-2 up in the last set.
Haas broke him again. Djokovic was serving for the match.
Djokovich is looking decidedly human
Half-human, half-hulk. The evidence is stacking up.
Tie break now. If Haas wins this they may not get the match finished tonight
Djokovic wins it at last on the tie break. He made very hard work of that.
Points for Djokovic. He just gave a fan his towel
No points for that kind of thing. Yeugh!
The fan asked for it. Boris Becker was impressed he did it
for selfish reasons I hope that W. Trongcharoenchaikul either never becomes a successful senior, or has a really short snappy nickname.
I would really enjoy Sue Barker trying to say that though.
loved watching Lisicki play today! She's just so smiley! :)
Poor Kvitova knocked out, she did not look at all well at the end.
Bartoli plays really weird.
Poor Li Na/Na Li. Had a serve called out that would have won her the first set that was really in and didn't challenge it. Then lost in straight sets. Her opponent had a load of tape applied to her thigh in the second set so who knows what would have happened had they gone to three sets.
Waiting for Luther to start with some mansour bahrami in the doubles. so good.
Oh my goodness that Delpo fall looked painful!
1st set to djokovic. went to a tie-break though.
djokovic and berdych in a tight first set, I really hope that djokovic and del potro win tonight
del potro goes through.
hehe. ferrer is a tiny, tiny man.
...or del potro is quite tall.
what a point to win.
great rally.
Come on Muzza!!!
Oh loosing the 1st set isn't sensible Muzza, come on break early in the second!!!
YES!
Oh goodness.
#VerdascoforWimbledon2013
Verdasco breaks back. Come on Muzza!
was this expected, i've never heard of the other chap?
he had a good run at the australian open in 2009 and has done precisely nothing before or since except ruin his previous good looks with some awful hair styles.
ha! noted :)
I thought it was a typo when I read he is ranked 54th in the world, i swear yesterday he was in the top 10, 20 at worst.
this is not going well at all...
Oh goodness Murray this is a bit worrying now
wow. you can't buy that kind of luck.
well everyone else has been knocked out, i don't know why Britain thinks he's immune :P
Well now I've sat down from work, things will definitely improve for andy.
hahaha I was just hoping it would be Nole that went before Andy
every shot is to murray's backhand. how in the blazes can you play like that?
Verdasco is left handed.
if there's a men and a women's game, there should be a lefties tour too :)
:D
Rafa would win everything and it'd fold from sheer boredom after one season.
Although hes fake left handed, maybe they wouldn't let him in.
Stop getting all grumpy Andy!! Pull yourself together!
Oh goodness me. This is painful
swearing andy
Oh Andy.
"he's a little unclear what he's supposed to be doing"
winning, andrew.
ahh lou, i remember when we were at the Olympics and I was so excited about seeing Fernando and then when we got to him he looked like
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/s720x720/558358_538834850667_426585542_n.jpg
and I was so annoyed at his hair we left after about 5 minutes. Good times.
I am not watching this match because on Saturday night we turned on Verdasco vs Gulbis and he was doing really well and I said 'what happened to Fernando Double Fault Verdasco?' to my friend, upon which remark he promptly double faulted.
Hehehehehe yes! You were not impressed!!
considering we'd just come from the beauty that was Ferrer/Lopez it was like the most disappointed I've ever been by Spain.
ehehe :) you were so funny 'ooh 3 attractive men playing at once!! ' :D
Oh Andy, I don't expect you to win wimbles, but I do expect more of a fight than this. COME ON ANDY!
definition of a perfect day :)
hehehe! I want to watch more tennis with you Amy! That day was awesome. We saw both Muzzas and everything!! :)
You should extend your Aus GP trip by two months and do the Open as well. Easiest Slam in the world to see everyone at!
Yeeeessss!
this is better.
Much more like it Andy!!!
That set was a lot more satisfying.
YEEEEESSSSAAS!!!!!!!!
Got in switched on the TV and the first point I saw was Murray winning the set.
the exact opposite of what happened when i tuned in earlier :)
Based on one point I think it just took Murray a bit to get to grips with Verdasco because unbelieavbly he hasn't played a single left hander all year
backhand, backhand, backhand, backhand, backhand, backhand. was all i saw from murray an hour ago.
Irvine Welsh @WelshIrvine
"The game has moved from serve and volley to thrust and squirt." John McEnroe
backhand is meant to be Muzzas strongest shot, believe it or not
not today :)
Murray seems to be letting Verdasco dictate to much
Oh I like all this Verdasco double faulting stuff :)
Verdasco has Thunderbirds hair. It doesn't matter what is going on around it nothing makes it move
if you're tuning in for the 6 o'clock news, nothing happened. all day, you've missed nothing, now watch the tennis.
At least Andy has cheered up a bit. Can't stand his teenage strops.
poor huw edwards
Now Andy, lets stay positive and happy shall we. You WILL win.
He made hard work of that game but I take that as a good sign. If he was going to crumble that would have been the game.
he has the stamina and fitness for this match, think long rally's are good cause they'll only tire Fernando out quicker ;)
YES
Broke him
YES!!!
Great point. No way should Murray have gotten near that
Come on andy, serve for the set
Woooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
hurrah!
We need a nice early break of serve. Preferably in game 1
ah, I see the predictable scottish/british nonsense that surrounds Murray has already begun on twitter
what percentage is he right now?
You always get that nonsense. People on the radio this morning were saying that the British and Irish Lions should be re-named Dragons because there are so many Welshmen in the team
93%
http://andymurrayometer.com/
100% tiresome ;)
Boris is right. Murray is allowing Verdasco to have the initiative too much. Needs to dominate more
perfect :)
Why does Sue Barker keep saying that? Anyone who hasn't figured out that this isn't the news is not going to understand her anyway
She's trying to get as much screen time before she goes back into hibernation until the SPOTY
:)
This is going to a tiebreak, I can feel it.
I've got to go home in a second, but really don't want to leave the tv. Come on Andy!
I thought that you didn't get tie breakers in the final set
good point, heaven help us then.
You're doing a great job keeping us updated, peeps. Sort of too busy/can't bear to watch, but I like peeking in here and seeing if there are YAYs or NOOs. :)
In that case Murray just held his serve to make it 3-3 in the final set
Make that an Ooohhohhohhh in that instance
Well that is neither YAY nor NOO.
:)
Murray, you are not allowed to get broken here.
I hope he hears me.
this coaching lark is easy
4-4 now
Seems to be
Now's the time to break his serve
5-5. Murray won his service game to love for a change
I hope we don't end up with another 70-68
break point
break point!
christine, we are at COME ON ANDY stage now
2nd serve
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!
Henman Hill very happy!
(Accidentally tuned in).
That was all rather good. Watching in the pub. #nothere
:)
Hi Will^
30-0
almost therree
spanish michael mcintyre is lookiing tired
3 match points
three match points!
The Spanish one gets very low waiting for the serve.
he reminds me of the guy from con air.
Love that film
what a comeback!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
Challenge
oh?
Amazing comeback. Can't believe this is the same player I saw earlier.
Verdasco lost the challenge.
Murray wins
yaaaaaaaaaaay
incredible crowd.
i should become a tennis coach person
*shouts* win the match
client wins
How does his hair not move after all that time and effort?
Thanks for the comms guys, I couldn't see the scores from back here. #nothere
*pockets 10%*
WHAT A COME BACK!!!!! YES ANDY!!!!! Yeeeesssssss!!!!!!!
yeah, andrew castle. With how this tournament has gone so far, I wouldn't start saying a novak-murray final just yet
I fancy an Andy vs Delpo final myself :)
What a cracking afternoon of tennis. Looking forward to Friday so much (gonna prob miss most of tomorrow's)
I was impressed with his win today, especially after that first game injury. Looked bad
djokovic will run del potro around in the first set, not sure if his knee will hold up. on his day del potro is good enough but I think that knee injury will be enough and djokovic will be too strong.
anyway I must say lets hope the winner comes from that match, I know this is a very pro british site so this might be my last post before I get banned but geez, that murray is just so impossible to like, I tried but I cant, come on djokovic, please win, please for the love of humanity.
heh, have we introduced you to amy?
fellow Anzac....
bartoli dominated the first semi, now im hoping for sabine to get through in the second semi.
gave up on that one.
go radwanska :)
really I like both of them, but after backing sabine to beat serena the other night, at the handy odds of $11, ill have to stick with sabine for the rest of the tourney.
I think this will be a much more competitive match than the last one.
i've never seen a player strapped up as much as radwanska today.
first set to sabine, a little too much power for radwanska, so far.
yeah, not as one-sided as the previous match, but i can't see it lasting much longer :)
oh big first game in the second set. sabine gets a handy break.
breaks right back! nice one.
game back on.
breaks of serve all over the place.....
and again!
sabine losing it a bit. needs to settle down
into a third we go.
amazing. bring it :)
radwanska looking more composed, sabine was all over the place after that first break of serve.
ooops!
too many unforced errors
wow. that was useless. it's like a whole other person.
that's better sabine.
much better.
strange game, sabine serving for the match now
hers for the taking surely.
amazing tennis. really come alive now.
omg. another break.
back on serves.....
what? brilliant.
come on ladies its getting late... I need sleep, someone win
so good tho.
i don't want either to lose.
gotta be all over now?
not just yet..
done it.
well done lisicki. what a match.
sharapova's american accent and russian name confuses me.
blimey, I had no idea the hotel we stayed at for new years was where the WTA began!
also caught up now on sabine's win. really hope she goes all the way.
So happy for Sabine!!
oops.... fell asleep at 7-7 or 8-7 cant quite remember, just know I missed the end, great win and a great match too.
just remember she was only 7 when she moved to the states!
just got back. so proud Delpo got a set! come on Delpo push for a second!!!
Delpo is fighting so hard out there! amazing! giving Nole a run for his money. Come on Delpo push it into a 5th set!!
tiebreak!!!
blimey, looks like quite the match!
omg.
WHAT?!
this is brilliant :)
come on Delpo!!!!!! that was amazing!
woooooooo!!!!!!!!
how is that humanly possible? i can't even describe that. every point is insane.
pure brilliance.
2 sets allllllll!!
YESSSSSSSS 5th set baby!!! WOOOOOO!
4hr match #notspeedsporting
nearly the longest Semi final Wimbles match in history was that?
possibly. christine costa, i gots distracted :)
*christine (came home with) costa
:D hehehe
still distracted :)
It better still be good now I'm here to see it.
it will be, can't see Delpo easing up now :)
well I just had a little snooze, thought Id have a look to see if its still going and now its 3-2 in the fifth, I had a feeling del potro would struggle with his knee injury but it looks like he is moving alright.
Djokovic is really like "What do I have to do???"
no way!
Djokovic muttering to himself A LOT.
come on Delpo!!!
He has to break back now or it's done!
good start
c'mon!
come on Delpo!!!!
brilliant match. really enjoyed what i saw of it :)
ah Delpo fought so so hard. What a match!!!
Yay for big hugs.
Have I missed all the Murrayness?
no no, he's basically only just started!
Hello everybody
Did Djokovic win the 5th set?
he did. Delpo put up a good fight tho!
When I heard that Djokovic had to go to a tiebreak in the 4th I thought he may be in trouble
it did look that way for a long time.
break him Andy! come on!
oh, so close.
Yey for them delaying it so we could get back home ;)
It's tiebreak time.
The Murrays supporters in the crowd seem quiet
I don't like how the tiebreak has started
The Poles seem to be doing a good job of clapping.
Murray is taking the initiative in the rallies a lot more than he did against Verdasco
This was not how it was planned
oh muzza :(
Oooops :S
how's he doing... oh.
Just broke the Pole's serve in the first game of the second set
MUCH BETTER!
phew.
I like how this set is going.
LOVING THIS!
that was a great call.
DUCK!
I think they need to go and find Wednesday night's crowd. They were much more into it
I think the length of the match before while there were all waiting for this one has taken it out of them.
also, was bloody hot out there.
Was no-one being sent on a Pimms run?
no-one wanted to miss it :)
During the breaks in play? (That's why I prefer indoors sport)
They should have Pimms taps on the back of every seat
genius!
...until people need to loo :)
We have a winner!
Speaking of Pimms, Dad just brought in some Lemonade. so... normal pimms, or pimms blackberry and elderflower?... hmm...
A commode under every seat?
yes!!!! like the taps of fizzy water in yo sushi!!
watching at home is so much more sensible. tablet can follow you to the fridge.
Never been to Yo sushi
really?
Exactly. If I was there I could not be eating, drinking, watching the progress of my online football manager game and watching tennis too.
...and commenting :)
Oh yes. And tweeting
at every table they have x2 taps, 1 of still and 1 of sparkling water. It's awesome.
http://www.equipmentone.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/sushi-water.jpg
wow. need!
That could easily be incorporated into the back of a tennis seat along with a credit card reader
yes! i was so excited when i saw them. It's like £1 but it's unlimited refill.. Wimbles could easily have a similar system.
Pimms + unlimited refill + v sunny = recipe for disaster ;)
I think unlimited Pimms would need to be more than £1
they need a conveyor of strawberry's trundling around too.
That's why I want a credit card reader too. I want my invention to make me rich
ah yeah, of course. even if it was a charged per glass system. was just using them as an example.
although, half of the fun of pimms is the strawbs! how would you get the fruit?!
Needs an extra tap for cream
3rd pipe for the fruit.
I don't think I've ever had Pimms.
Very complicated sushi conveyor as suggested by Mr C or minibar
!!!!!!!!!!!
Neither have I
:D
*stares*
i am a failure :(
you guys have been missing out on all the fruity tasty goodness!
It's a summer drink and the last summer we had was 1976
take Christine to more tennis and buy her pimms!! :)
we're having summer right now! (So sunny and warm today!)
You are.
you're coming down south next week, it'll still be hot then. You can try some then :)
:)
nice to see the crowd waking up a bit!
Pimms is Jaegermeistery (both being bitters), but a lot lot more summery.
I'll be driving so no drinking
one glass wont hurt...;) or at your hotel (aren't you doing Sat - Sun?)
Only Sunday. Saturday tickets were all gone
ooooooh, guest post?!
*bounces*
you're driving all the way from scotland, walking round goodwood, and then driving back... all in one day????
that was crazy lucky!
No. Drive most of the way down Saturday and stay somewhere overnight. Then Sunday morning drive to Goodwood using all the shortcuts I know though Chichester. Then drive a couple of hours from Chichester on Sunday night. Then Monday I think I will do Donington because I haven't been there in years
There is definitely time for a glass of pimms in all that ;)
Not if I am driving
Why have they got lights on? It's daylight here
where is bassano when you need him, he'd help me out here :)
not sure they are on yet.. discussing when they might go on?..
Are they warming them up, in case they are required later?
Those look like the kind of lights that warm up slowly but I don't think you can run them on part current. You have to let them come on properly or switch them off
nice one.
1 set all
wooop woop!!
Keep me up to date, comments, like you did before. Busy, busy for a bit.
back in a bit. apparently we've got this f1 site to run.
#slavedriver
#norestformrc
They are having a break and showing us 3D cameras. Mr C will want one
i may as well have it, bbc won't need them after sunday: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23195479
Bet you get good discount on a second hand 3D camera that has been left outside in all weather
Finally Murray punished one of those drop shots.
Weird combination being a big server and playing loads of drop shots
Got him with the lob
Two aces in a row from Murray. 15-40 to deuce
3 aces in a row
Great job to rescue that mess. Held his serve
performance of a grand slam champ :)
too dark for him?
Why is this guy spending all his time discussing the roof?
Love it, he's unsettled.
i suppose the time it would take to close the roof and get the court atmosphere settled again would be just a bonus to this guy ;)
Catch!
oh gosh!
Weird match
Murray has more aces than the big server
Murray has just lobbed a huge guy for the second time.
Murray is losing out on ground shots and touch shots
Murray has complained to the umpire that the Pole was talking during the point.
come on Muzza! break back!
Kim is so cute :)
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Murray has figured out the drop shot and is scoring off them now
awww Andy is so good at cheering the crowd on.
ohhh the Pole is grumpy....
now he's back on about the roof. lol
It's something sportsmen don't seem to understand. They have to do something to get the crowd going and then the crowd will back them all the way.
Aced it. 4-4 Game on
Jumped the gun. 40-0
Now 4-4
Interesting that as soon as Murray winds up the crowd and they respond the BBC decide to cut to the hill for the first time
Bad time for a double fault
YES!!!!! Muzza a break up!
Murray broke him again.
Big James Corden getting very into it.
did that hit Muzza?!?
Yes
i didn't even see an apology. come on Muzza!!!!
WOOP!!!! 2 sets up!!!
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 sets to 1
To all those on CC, now is Pimms-o'clock.
WHAT! YOURE CLOSING THE ROOF NOW!!!
Murray is not happy that they want to close the roof
You fight it Muzza!
You cannot be serious!?
Anywhere else in the world they would not kill the momentum of a home player
This is so unfair for Muzza! He HATES the roof, he hates the system with the roof..
I swear it's meant to be 9pm...
Boycott!
Between sets, I guess?
The Pole has been campaigning to get the roof shut for about an hour. Every time Murray gains any momentum he moaned about the roof. None of the ex-players agree with it except Tim.
#BooTim
last year, at the olympics, i was watching tennis on the outside courts... until around 9:30. :( poor Andy. hope he gets back into the swing of it now.
right i'm off to grab more pimms :)
I've used the break and am already onto my next G+T :D
The BBC bias re the roof and Murray is laughable.
The BBC missed that memo on objectivity an awful long time ago :)
Andrew Castle and Tim Henman both said it was a reasonable time to do it. Sue Barker and others were talking about playing there themselves till 9:30 so there was plenty of time to get another set in. Hardly bias
I'm listening to the radio. Dot Davies is the most biased presenter I've ever heard. Eddie Mair on PM called her out (jokingly) on how every year she says that this year will definitely be his year.
I am watching on TV and there is plenty of light to keep playing. It has been discussed that games at the Olympics last year were played later than this and the days were shorter then because it was weeks later. There is absolutely no reason to close the roof. Janowicz had been moaning about it not being closed for an hour and it looks like the officials gave in to him
I'm watching online and 'listening' to you guys - it seems to be fairly decided how good (or not) an idea it was.
The players are now back on court and it looks darker now with the lights on than it was when they decided to close the roof
i have strawbs and cream, and pimms. i am ready for this final (i hope) set.
IS that a Gold iPhone Amir Khan?
good thing about the roof. it amplifies the crowd's cheers.
There's a joke here involving his chin. Any ideas, guys?
Awesome shot by Murray
Bad time for a double fault by Janowicz
Break to Murray
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay !
Murray is hitting so many aces today when the other guy was supposed to do that
3-1 Murray
Kate Robbins @KateRobbins
Janowicz looks like someone who'd copy your answers in exams
Janowicz is in self destruct mode
40-0 to deuce
"Murray has bro-ken, like the first Mur-ray."
This is awesome.
Stick to Felipe Baby
Janowicz won the game.
I knew there was a reason I didn't do an album.
It's that difficult second single
Murray with many more aces than the big-server.
McEnroe's pronunciation of Djokovic is almost as annoying as Brundle's of Perez.
Four years in the making.
You don't want to rush it
nice shot by the grumpy Pole..
Jude Law looks different without the beard he had last time i saw him...
How? Falling backwards, balanced on his heels and he does that
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
YESSSSSSSSSSS
MEGA
ANDY YOU BEAUTY!
:O
Murray is in total control now
Ohh Andy, don't throw this away
*trying not to jinx anything*
*trying to stay quiet*
Another double fault.
he gave up.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Won it by breaking his serve
Murray mp
can't believe they put the roof on for that.
INTO THE FINAL!!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww, proud Judy.
YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
He was trying to hit the ball as hard as he could rather than thinking about positioning it and tactics
does the final clash with f1?
awwwwww *fistbump* SO CUTE!
1400 UK
oh cripes.
yep. kinda.
My he has a big HEAD
Andy Castle you just Jinxed him!
Oops, that chap has not only been caught on camera taking an iPad photo, he's also been slo-moed doing it.
"HELLO I'M ON THE PHONE I'M IN THE WIMBLEDON SEMI FINAL"
Thanks for the comments again today, peeps. You let us know when to tune in for the good stuff :)
#fairweatherfans
:) thank you for providing us with somewhere to chat and share this awesome tennis!
Just realised the Bryans match is tomorrow. Gonna be a good day of sport!
Two games in, one break each.
I hate the way Bartoli plays, come onnnn Sabine
It's not going well.
"high summer in England at the moment" says the British commentator
"that means they've had two days of sun" says the Aussie.
True story!
its sad when the mocking is truthful!
We've waited long enough for the sun, gotta celebrate it when it arrives I guess!
Ridiculously awful play from Lisicki here.
someone should trick london and tell it it' got the olympics again, the weather was fine when i was there.
shes playing like i would, its terrible
First set down the drain.
We might not need the whole Olympics, it might just be you. Come back!
my flatmate is on a plane to london right now, maybe i work by proxy
Ooh, maybe!
Bless her, trying not to cry.
Novak dressed as a groundsman <3
she really needed that hold
better.
Hawkeye pause..
come on sabine, settle down abit.
so many chances :(
crucial hold by bartoli
hooray for the ladies doubles final having aussies in it so it'll make it to tv
ahhhh how annoying are these kia ads.
Oh dear, may be ready to ditch this now. Bring on tomorrow.
#fairweatherfan
i was wanting this to be the good match because i dont really give a rats about tomorrows match but this is letting me down :(
aw come on Sabine!!! chin up!
oh this is rough, i dont think ive ever seen someone cry before the match is even over before
:(
Damn.... This match.. :-(
aw this is so painful. Poor Sabine.
cheer up sabine, youre about to get a check for over 1 million dollars.
Can we make this a five setter ??
YES! Sabine!
not unless they change the rules of how many sets women play!
come on sabine
That's more like it!!
shes starting to relax now, hopefully its not too late
it's not over till it's over. :)
amazing :)
Come on!!! :-)
I hope Christine didn't go far!
if she wins the next game she will win the match.
Just watching via the comments again :)
ahhh :)
oh it was all looking good for Sabine then..
bartoli steps up.....and wins.
aw Well Done Bartoli.
at least Sabine put up a bit of a fight at the end..
Aw Sue, give her a hug!
bartoli didn't drop a set for the whole tourney.
so many tears from everyone.
i am not used to seeing the bryans losing
they will still win, they win everything
Well done to the Bryans!
Watched the women's doubles. First two games took 15 minutes. I just announced that the Australians were bound to win when they collapsed spectacularly and only won about one more game
#tennisexpert
and so the time has come that i need to balance both the sports i love.
come on andy!
too much sport!! got a bit excited that Muzza could break him in the first game then.
Muzza is throwing away break points here there and everywhere at the moment. chill out Andy, take it slow...
throws away another break point.
and another one.. Murray...
Nole is having a bit of a shocker trying to hold.
MURRAY BREAKS!!! YES!!!!
Djokovic breaks Muzza, gonna be a long match.
No
I think Murray should start asking for the roof to be closed
why hello peoples.
sad but it's true.. they seem very very closely matched today. good times :)
What is up my homies
how has Murray been playing?
3-3. Loking good
Allo allo. :)
well, except for when he needs to consolidate a break. At the beginning he was pretty out of sorts/ showing frustration. he is settling in now.
not when you consider Murray was a break up at one point..
Great rally
I am just glad he held his serve after being broken
its always a long match when djokovic is involved
:)
i'm going out for dinner with some friends at 6pm. Andy has until then...
0-40
i must have jinxed this by changing from the f1. time to change back.
YESSSSSSSSSS
Nole should ditch the cap.
you are ahead of my live stream, but YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!
aw Kim :)
Can't get BBC Sport site to load :(
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv/bbc_one_london/watchlive
right, im all settled down. let's do this.
also it's just hit me how Murray's girlfriend reminds me of Kate Middleton.
you've obviously not been reading the papers, it's all they've been saying all week.
Shut the roof. There is too much sun
Ah Lou, I wanted to read the feed to catch up, but thanks!
do you want to see angry Andy again???
This surprises me little
ahhh sorry, hope it loads soon!
I only saw the highlights of the semi final but that Janowicz seemed like a bit of an idiot,
>@TomSpilsbury
I wonder if Andy Murray has a girlfriend? Even if he does, I don't suppose we'll ever find out what she looks like.
really? they say it every year. There are always pictures of them side by side (in the paper) comparing their outfits etc.
I thought Djokovic's last shot was long
I don;t read any papers so I geniunely haven't seen it, it just doesn't surprise me that they've picked up on it previously
I have seen it all over the internet too
Now I have no excuse :)
Didn't the umpire call the ball out there?
I like that they make little grunts, it makes it more like Mario Tennis
I thought the ball was good
Way out
I got it wrong
deuce. :)
Get the feeling it's gonna be one of those LONG finals?
very much so!
he has until 6pm.
excellent challenge
Although hopefully he'll be done by half 5 as I need to take my sister to the hospital but I'm sure he's aware of that ;)
The women's doubles final took 15 minutes to get the first two games finished. Then it was over in straight sets
serve held!
Good to see him holding his serve after working so hard for it
this is great!
Where has Nole's serve gone?
That was unlucky, Novak came to the net very quickly then
oh Andy, no stomping please..
One of them could keel over if they keep going like this.
Just need Murray to hold his serve to take the first set
oh no its the redfoo ad again :(
he's bad enough to see when he pops up at tennis, i don't want him on my tv every damn day :(
Serving for the set± woop woop!!!
is it the x factor ad you tweeted? looks painful!
oh gosh, that was awful if it is that one. I don't know how you can put up with that after the first time Amy.
yes :( i'll be pleased when the tennis goes back to being on pay tv not free to air so i never have to watch that channel ever again. he's just so irritating.
First set won. Held his serve to love
YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now's a good time to bet on Nole, i reckon...
Ahhh, I wondered when Inception music was going to get it's moment!
Good start.
Jeez, what is up with this mid-match Murray-montage? Bleurgh.
sometimes i am pleased to not be watching the bbc coverage :D
They needed to get out the obligatory Hans Zimmer stuff :)
Very random slow mo montage
I can only assume Murray keeled over and died after that set, otherwise the tribute is totally out of place and a mood-killer!
Maybe he's stuck in slow-mo
oh no, now i'm getting slow mo murray montage. then djokovic falling over.
Exactly. TV directors at sports events should be told to stay live and point the cameras at the competitors
i can't cope with all the 'it's been x number of years since a Brit won...' 'it's murray's year'.
I love Muzza, i do, but it's too much. Wimbles is always murray mania tho.. BBC taking it to extremes now.
He's two sets away from doing something no Brit has done in nearly a century. Can you blame them?
Yes
Yes! They're nuts.
Totally!
it bugged me extra this year because as soon as rafa and roger were out they were like 'he'll 100% do it, no doubt about it'
it just seems they completely forgot THE NUMBER ONE PLAYER IN THE WORLD is still in.
If Murray wins, you ain't seen nothing yet.
*woman
That's the scary thing :(
If he wins, it would at least have a point.
He is 2 sets from doing something no Scotsman has ever done or that anyone thought any Scotsman would ever do but that does not merit a winner's montage after one set
his brother won it a few years ago :P
yes. the hype is what ruins these types of moments.
I believe, if Andy wins, they are renaming BBC1 to BBC Murray, which is going to lead to awkward confrontations regarding Murray Walker, Murray's Mints and the character Murray from the Monkey island series.
i might like him a bit more if it wasn't so in your face.
It helps me understand the Lewis haters :D
YES! and Jonathan Marray last year.
TOTALLY how i feel about Lewis.
ah there you go. So we're not so different after all Amy ;)
I wonder whether the cameras would film in slo mo if No Djo met Ro Gro.
:D
i mean, i wont be upset if murray wins, i just prefer novak.
i used to actively want murray to lose because it was lolz that he had no slams when everyone else in the top 4 had heaps, but now that he has one he might as well get a few more.
Same here. :)
Would it only show documentaries about the Murray river?
Plus, if he gets wimbledon, it'll help the BBC get over it.
a tiny little bit.
<3
it totally wont. they'll be unbearable next year if he does.
Sir Andy Murray anyone?
it'll give them a whole year to think of new murray puns :)
does he already have an MBE? I can't remember.. but that's what they appear to get when someone becomes a champ. JB and Lewis did...
He will definitely get some kind of gong
They love to knight the Scottish when their career isn't even over.
I have nothing against Sir Chris Hoy, I just think they should have held off a few years :D
Oh Murray already has an OBE..
Really?
Lord Murray. King Murray!
I am basing that off one person, thats a big enough sample size ;)
Sir Lord Murray, Surveyor of the British Murray Isles.
Redgrave got a knighthood immediately for winning five golds. Pinsent got one after that for only winning four in the same sport
For sure.
King fits, the wonder that is the Daily Mail already has the headline "Queen Kim reigns supreme on Centre Court"
That wasn't for winning Wimbledon though.
I think CBE next
I'm lurking as I'm doing SPCartoons. But you guys are good commentary!
no, it was for winning the US Open.
:D :D King Murray.
maybe you'll skip the independence vote and just proclaim him as President.
how about.. andy murray, that will do
Needs more ducks
Ohh I see some ducks!
Oh it's a swan. I'm not even going there.
Amazing how Djokovic got back in position after the serve
Nicely done by Djokovic
28 strokes! phew!
this great tennis! come on Andy!
Come on Nole!
Nooo first break for novak.
Time for a change of tactics for Andy. Needs to take initiative more again
he broke Murray in the 1st set, and Murray still got it. :) there is time. gooo Andy!
yes..come on novak.
They both have hats on now. How am I meant to know who is who when I glance up?
i always struggle with the all white stuff and end up cheering the wrong person
Confused me when Andy put his on
The umpire is telling them off for you noiw
wow, that was wild.
how long till you Wimbledon is entirely computer umpired? Umpiretron 3000?
Andy Castle 'he's had a whole shoe store delivered' lol
I have the same problem.
I like it!
Umpires. replaced by tech. Players, replaced by tech. Audience, replaced by tech.
well apparently there are stills cameras that can pan on their own now, so we're all doomed really.
woop woop!!
That was lucky
Like the self checkout at tesco,
I like the Segway camera they have at the rugby
still one more break point, cmon andy.
They have a Segway camera at the cricket. The guy on it ran over the wicket-keeper's helmet and injured himself.
:)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D04vnWZfQUU
2 more of those Andy!
Nicely done. Stepping in on the second serve
what a shot¬
YES!
Every time you think he is down he steps up again
ian healy is a handy on the Segway
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvcotl8OrG8
the reaction of the crickets is as if a bomb went off!
YESSSSS!
WOO!
Double fault to give the break back
Murray with some mint play in that game.
come on novak
Great time for the ace
That was close
pre programmed hawkeye..... very handy.
yes!!! one more pls!
No challenges for Djo... some dodgey calls please ;)
Novak can't believe it. haha.
This is tense stuff and we're only in the 2nd set!
shot!
Hehe, nicely done.
The tiniest dink
hehe Kim's face :D
Every time I see that I think Kimi
there we go!
YES!! Well held Andy!!
please make this 3 sets.. i can't cope with it being longer!
How annoying. :)
oh yes quality tennis there
Novak is going to injure himself one day. his slides always look so painful!
131mph!!!!!
Is Christine still about? Just noticed there's no Indy Car event
Oop, I'll do it now.
yaaaaaay!!
Sorry I did send it quite late last night :(
Done :)
Oh Novak...
oh dear...
fire up novak
this is good for Murray... will help him have the advantage mentally.
YESS!
Getting angry only works when you have a leg to stand on.
NOOOO!
Andy has the crowd in his hand there.
YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
WOO~!!
NOOOOO!
BOOOOOOO!
Just hoooooold!
Novak is well and truely rattled.
This is mighty!
three set points :D
Bad mistake by Novak
1 more... 1 moreeeeee
Ace for the set. 2-0
WOOHOO!
2 sets up, amazing :)
WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
2 SETS UP!!!
1927, the last time someone came back from 2 sets down to win a final.
2/3 of the way there.
At least we are not getting a stupid montage this set.
Spoke too soon
more slow mos :(
@liquidindian
Just read on the BBC "Murray breaks back in second set". You have to admire a man who plays on despite injury.
Ooh goodie, more slow mo.
You have an hour and a half Mr Murrray... or my friends will kill me when i refuse to leave the house.
Andy Castle stop jinxing it!
What would the BBC do without Inception, Sigur Rós or The XX?
I think its over.. cant lose from here surely.
I'm not sure my sister would appreciate me not taking her to see her husband either. Lots of pressure on andy
sparkly union jack dress...
I cringed
So, I'm pretty out of touch with tennis these days but I'm guessing Murray is currently British instead of Scottish. That's how it works, right?
95%
http://andymurrayometer.com/
So... Andy Murray for Sports Personality of the Year if he pulls it off?
He, he. Up to 98% now
chris froome
The longer drought at Wimbledon works in Andy's favour, though.
Buster Mottram. Seriously?
What is Andrew Castle going on about?
0% English....:)
I don't think he has the same... charisma as Bradley Wiggins though.
My vote is for Tai Woffinden if he wins the Speedway GP though.... no?
If Murray wins this, I think he jumps in front of Charles as heir to the throne
Love the BBC have put up name tags now :)
true, very true.
they're obviously reading our comments :)
Rob Koenig @RobKoenigTennis
Last time someone won a Wimbledon men's Final from 2 sets to love down was Henri Cochet in 1927....#furtherbackthanperry
lots of UFE's for novak.
So, is it a 3 banana strategy or more?
Andy you star.
Fantastic tennis
Finish Him!
Another MK reference there.
I think you may be watvhing the mortal kombat wimbledon
points to will ;)
Yessssssssssss
YES!!!!!!!
YAY!
someone pinch me! ......this day... THIS DAY!!!
Novak looks a bit... lost? I dunno, definitely rattled
Wake up and smell the roses
Ivan looks so nervous.
Ohh sidepod-hivemind, Mrs^ is wondering... What is Andy's favourite surface to play tennis on?
He is trying to remember whether he is supposed to bow or curtsey when he gets his knighthood
Today it's grass
I think he's always said grass. But he always seems strong on hard court too.
It'd just be an honorary one, like Sir Bob
perfect service game. well held.
How good would it be if he did it in straight sets?!
that would be unreal
I don't care if it takes 9 sets
I must say, the tennis has been so one-sided in these finals. Rubbish viewing from a sporting point of view.
don't even allow me to think....
.... but it would be pretty fantastic.
I can't say what i want to say in response.. cause it's a family friendly site and all that ;) but... ;)
Get down the bookies NOW and get some money on Murray for Sports Personality. (Not jinxing, honest)
9 sets?! with play like this they'd keel over!
Andy and Nole have had some good battles? :)
It can't take them any more than 5. No one said anything about how long a 5th set can go, though. ;)
*sings* Lets go Andy lets go.....
Pretty sure they would have massively dropped already
But before the drop even further... in say the next hour or so.
Lendl looks like he wants to jump out of the box!
It'll drop even further once Murray wins, though. Better to do it now. :)
i have so much nervous energy..
oh now Novak has taken off his hat..
Is this like his Hulk mode when he gets really angry?
OH MURRAY!
That is going to cause havoc with the highlights
chill out andy, it's all good.
/coach
my friend worked at the olympics writing down notes for the highlights of the tennis. I kid you not she had to write down things like that. :)
Quick Andy, take your hat off! *
*clutching at straws
Ohhh! Aweosme tennis.
WIDE! ergh.
oh jeez that was so close.
Murray finally tries the drop shot and messed it up
Nole should've taken off his hat a LOT earlier.
burn that dodgy hat novak
There needs to be a rule that he has to wear it
was that muzza shouting?
This set has been so frustrating, argh
Murray's hat? On or off?
I was 1 point away from going to bed. might stick around for a bit yet.
oh murray, stop shouting at your box. control yourself. stay calm, you're still ahead. *zen*
Bah, heading out earlier than I was told. Looks like I'll miss the end of this. Enjoy, all. Hope Murray does it.
ack for Indy?
Unlikely :( was hoping to leave at about half 5.
come on crowd. LOUDER!
oh gosh, i can't look.
It's all gone Pete Tong.
Cruise this set and win the 4th now
You didn't really think Nole would go down without a fight, did you?
Agreed, save the tyres
Murray's not listening...
That's what you do with a drop shop. Hit it as hard as you can at him
Henman: "the momentum is back with Djokovic" - but this means we don't know where Djokovic is! #QuantumTennis
I am uncertain what you mean by this.
:)
Schrodinger's Serve
Andy just slotted home a winner
Has the slippery grass improved over the first few days?
It dries out oover the first few days every year
come on Andy! just one point! get that point!!
YEEEEEEESSS!!!!
YESSSSSS!!!!!!
Unbelievable
I might have to stick around if it goes to a tie break
Aghhhh getting sleepy again
So much for saving tyres.
That was like Kimi saying he knew what he was doing
Better tennis now.
:)
i have to go have a shower. no one win while i'm gone.
so nervous. please hold Andy...
:D
In the middle of the night? Speedy getaway for work for Amy
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Incredible tennis
amazing
Why was it less confusing when no-one had a hat on?
That's a "you've gotta be kidding me" shot right there.
Because we've had the opposite configuration already.
1 more set?
He broke him again.
Never seen two players of this standard break each other so often
OH MY GOD!!!!
nooooo.... that's it im off to bed....
enjoy the win...
*AAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMYYYYYY!*
You see it a lot in Women's tennis, not in Men's.
AAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you've got someone to clean up after you... when you eventually explode!!
Loved Gerard's face then.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
and here comes the most nervewracking game of tennis.....
Why didn't I realise sooner that Bradley and Gerard were there? I might have watched harder!
They keep showing them
ARRGGGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGH
Is the Queen here?
no...
i decided 1.30am while watching tennis would be a good time to put a workout dvd on my laptop and i dont want to go to sleep all sweaty :D
i left the ensuite door open so i could hear the tv and i could work out what was happening based on the volume of the cheers
If she goes to any tennis in the UK it's at Queens.
YESSSSSSS!!!!
I don't think she's a fan, no horses involved
Glad you are not missing it
When's Kate's bubba due, the stress could put her into labor! ;)
40-0 OMG
JUST ONE MORE!
i have great timing
3 Champ points?
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Ace it
Ace it
Snap :)
how on earth is anyone in Muzza's box coping!
Anothe chance to now
come on Andy!!!!!!!
Great shot by Novak
Novak is desperately trying to hang on now
(Indy is warming up)
NOT TO DEUCE!!!!
Oh wow. What a save by Nole!!
TOO MUCH TENSION
ANdy...
come on andy, hang on in there!
Tie break, I tells ya
YES!
2 more!!!!!
You cannot be serious...
Djokovic meant that.
Judy scares me
I feel like i need a holiday... too much stress!
everytime i hear an interview with Judy Murray I'm surprised to hear that she is Scottish.
hehhe! same!
YES! SAVED!
Phew
actually this needs to go a bit longer because my hair is rather tangled and i need entertained while i see to it.
you can do this Andy. you CAN!
we;ll have the speeches after he hopefully wins..
Andy, some homework for ya... dropshots...
Novak, if you knew how much this meant to our entire country....
He wouldn't care
Pretty sure that's not his first concern
;)
YEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!
1 more
How did he do that?
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS
He's done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Good man
Well done, Andy. Well done.
what a fortnight.
Well done Andy.
Great stuff from Novak too
:')
good point
well done andy
TEARS!!!!
THIS DAY HAS BEEN AWESOME!!!
All those people obviously want some of his sweat
IN STRAIGHT SETS!!!!!
The Wombles will have a lot of clearing up to do tonight after the party
Andy's tennis uniform will never be washed again. Probably shipped off to some museum or other. ;)
GO SEE JUDY!! MORE TEARS!
spidermurray
WHERE IS JUDY??
they always keep the previous winners in the wimbledon museum
With some febreeze, I hope
They should have a ladder
well sealed behind glass!
aw, nice of mrs novak to congratulate judy
i wish i could stop sobbing. wimbledon is not good for me.
definitely :)
That is the same referee who got booed a couple of days ago when he closed the roof
yep.
:D
hug that trophy tight Andy!
http://www.andymurrayometer.com/
heeh
how dare they. Mo is a legend.
Murray ends the 77-year drought on July 7.
Interesting that Cameron was applauding politely and Salmond was really going for it
no not the umpire. the head guy who decided the roof should be closed on Friday, Murray was angry..
Well, Fred Perry will still be relevant - as he is still the last English man to win Wimledon.
Murray hd just won his second set and Janowicz had been moaning about the roof for an hour so the gave into him and closed it
Accurate.
The press need to let that go now, it's like the 1966 thing
that drama was ridiculous.
a tiny bit ;) but it sucked me in. :)
Murray seems so calm compared to how he was at the Olympics
wahhhh andy had the advantage.
don't care, no such thing as a home court advantage.
They will... until the next English big thing comes along.
And can't blame them for '66. Not like any UK soccer team has enjoyed any success since then.
Hasn't sunk in yet.
I can blame them, it's too much expectation. Regardless, good on Andy, he deserves it
haha Andy's sense of humour :)
If Andy pulled through it, so can they. :)
spoty for murray then?
We decided on King.
The difference is he is of the standard to do that and the footballers are not and never have been
Going with how long it took before you got Murray, the footballers have a few decades to go yet. ;)
£1.6m, that's some payout for a fortnight
Close the voting now, we have a winner.
Drop in the water compared to the millions Andy will get in deals after this. :)
I'm finding it hard t believe last year he didn't even have 1 grand slam. LET ALONE 2!!
:D :D
:)
he cant get too many more, surely he's already got them all :D
All his contracts will have bonus clauses for wins like this
So... how many millions will stick around on BBC1 for the F1, eh? ;)
The country probably needs a lie down after that
my 2 favourites did they best they could have done today. So happy :)
Andy did you break it? ;)
Right, I'm off to stuff some chicken :) Great stuff this afternoon all. Thanks Mr+MrsC for allowing us to come and chat in 'your living room'.
Only football and rugby players who do that
I hope they put the space in this time.
So, defending the US Open the next biggie?
it's the next open..
ooh giving it to the security guard.
surely that trophy has the same rules that the australian one does?
This time a year ago he had never won a mjaor tournament. H now holds Wimbledon, US Open and Olympics
I think the only time it leaves the building is to get presented on court.
you're not allowed to touch the australian one with bare hands unless you've won it so everyone wears gloves to handle it
they said the ladies only ever get to touch the trophy when they are presented with it and then when it gets carried in, then its taken off and put in the cabinet again. assuming its the same for the mens.
So if you have clean dry hands you can't touch it but if your hands are covered in sweat etc it is OK
Champion's sweat is allowed
this walk looks more posh than the f1 winners one past all the scantily dressed women :D
The sweat of champions makes the trophy even stronger. Or something.
Don't drop the lid of the balcony
champions sweat yes, security guards sweat NEVER, EXECUTE HIM, BURN THE TROPHY
Ted's Notebook had the grid girls being delivered pizza yesterday, it was an odd moment
Wonder this will inspire more kids to get serious about tennis
Bound to
and we close out on rule britannia, because andy is a ship. or something.
What? Even here they wouldn't do that
it was remarkably over the top
Wonder how long they have been planning that.
you could do with a few more, Australias 30 somethingish ranked player switched his allegience a few months ago and instantly became the British number 3.
right i'm off out. cheers for sharing this AWESOME day with me all :) xxx
Considering how big a thing Wimbledon is tennis is such a small sport here
We have a bit of rain that gets in the way and a 12 day summer
The end of the program montage is a bit more tasteful than the set winning montages
heeh!
we had a graph on screen the other day on how the LTA funding has increased over the last 10 years. its mind boggling numbers, hopefully theres some juniors on their way through otherwise they're reeeeeeeeeeally wasting it.
It's the strawberry budget that drags it down ;)
