Not much player grunting this year. But I've not seen Murray get
Replied: 3rd Jul 2016 at 22:13
I don't watch it, I-Spy, but know when Murray plays there's bound to be a racquet.

And that's just his mum

Will she bawl if he loses?
Replied: 3rd Jul 2016 at 22:32
Do you mean when he loses
Replied: 3rd Jul 2016 at 22:34
At least they can have a ball while it lasts.

I've never understood why it's love if you don't score

Wiki:
The origin of the use of "love" for zero is disputed. It is possible that it derives from the French expression for "the egg" (l'œuf) because an egg looks like the number zero ... similar to the origin of the term "duck" in cricket, supposedly from "duck's egg". One possibility comes from the Dutch expression iets voor lof doen, which means to do something for praise, implying no monetary stakes. Another theory ... at the start of any match, when scores are at zero, players still have "love for each other".

What I don't understand is why did the club spend millions of pounds putting a roof on the centre court and then wait till it starts raining before they decide to close it!

Hi jazzy great you will have to show me how to do things like that i havn't a clue great though!

The scoring for tennis is based on a clock face.
15 for "quarter past", 30 for "half past" and 40 (shortened from 45) for "quarter to".
Deuce is from the French "douze" for twelve (o'clock).
More knowledge as Mester Dustaf used to say.

Here are a couple of things i would love to do at wimbledon
No1. No player male/female allowed to use their bat with 2 hands.
No2. There shall be no more noises made by the players ie
like someone having an org*** and the like's
No3.Females to play same amount of sets like their male
counterparts.
Other than that then jolly hockey sticks.

I see Mr Grumpy has made it
Replied: 8th Jul 2016 at 23:13
Can he win it

It's tennis balls not crystal balls they're playing with, I-Spy! Time will tell.
'Andy Murray defeats Tomas Berdych 6-3 6-3 6-3 to reach his third Wimbledon final.
Britain's number one will now face Milos Raonic in the final on Sunday.' (BBC)
He doesn't seem so grumpy: BBC Interview
