Tennis #7 🎾

[RedPotter]

I didn't realise Cam was on and turned over literally as he was walking off court! Gutted, gutted for Emma and Jack having to withdraw as well.
I think Wimbledon is going to be full of a lot of twists and turns this year too!

 

[Restless Native]

Yeah Sinner out in round 1 wouldn’t be great tbh. I don’t think Zverat is particularly strong in grass, but who knows. If, just like in Paris, the entire top ten is gone, he might have a chance again. He can’t beat other top ten players at all.

Looking like a Sinner win now. Hes gonna have to play better to have any chance of defending his title. Not that im a huge Sinner fan I just cant bear Zverev winning it

And Ollie tarvet has just injured himself too

I’m so pleased he’s got a set!

Clare Balding has just described Naomi Osaka's outfit as "wedding themed". She's wearing a kimono that just happens to be white.

I've only just seen a photo of it now, but I'm getting 'bridal' vibes from it too

Ffs did they have to switch over during the last game

I had high hopes for Cilic/Medvedev but it was straightforward in the end.
Enjoying Wu/Djokovic so far.

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

Djokovic/Wu: I’m confused. I know Djokovic often gets a lot of boos from the crowd, but the crowd are booing every time Wu wins a point. Why?

I think the umpire needs to say something. It’s not very sporting.

Are they not going "Wuuuuu"?

They are. I'm on CC

 

[veronica71]

It was similar at the snooker

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

Are they not going "Wuuuuu"?

I wondered that, but I’d expect it to sound a bit more ‘jubilant’ if it was pro-Wu, and this does sound like a lower-toned ‘boo’

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

Ah, ok, thanks! Silly me!

Also, I’m jealous of your CC tickets!

Probably the same as in a previous year where Djok played Ruud. At the end of the match Djoko accused the fans of booing him but they were chanting “Ruuuuuud”

It did sound like Djokovic was being booed during that Ruud match two years ago.
I would say Wu is also being booed tonight. As someone said earlier, it doesn’t sound jubilant.

 

[LipstickCherry]

Football supporters shout "suuuuuuu" when Cristiano Ronaldo scores, and it sounds exactly like he's being booed. It's the same with Ruuuuuud and Wuuuuu. It sounds like booing, but it's not.

 

[forthelifeofriley]

And Roooooot in cricket

I hate the BBC, particularly during Wimbledon. It’s impossible to record a match if you’re out, because they chop and change channel about 10 times whilst it’s on!

 

[pecan]

It definitely wasn’t booing. For one, if it was, Djoko would have been playing into it with the crowd when he won points and such

 

[wnmot]

When Djokovic started that daft violin celebration, I thought the crowd started booing, but I'm guessing Wu was ready to leave so they crowd gave him one last "Wuuu" before he went off?
