Mark,

I'm off to ladies finals day with the wife in a couple of weeks, thanks for advance warning of what to expect.

Regards

Nic

nah - the finalists are usually dogs.

Now is the time of year for proper strawberries and cream!

Bob, as far as I am aware, dogs cannot play tennis. Somethings to do with walking on all fours and having paws.

Woof, woof was definitely my first thought when I saw Ivanovic!

Jim,

Got to admit that is a strange looking breed!

sex change springs to mind!

"I don't fancy yours" or "you weren't born a woman, right?" spring to mind.

"Downstairs mix up" no doubt...

Well that makes Martina look like Miss World, doesn't it?

What an unbelievably sexist thread......have any of you guys looked in the mirror lately?

And to think I was accused of being sexist in the now missing thread on Obama....

Jim

Dear Jim,

I used to like Martina! But mostly this is a bit of fun!

I actually hate ye olde mirror! It is horrible for me, and you should see the result of me trying to shave without looking very much! If you want to know why look on Bikes 2008 Thread! So I cannot be too critical of the looks of ladies, but the girl photo'ed is fairly frightening to me!

I like Sue Barker the best of the tennis ladies, and now I am showing my age!

ATB from George

I found many of the comments on this thread demeaning - and I am far from a Political Correctness zealot.

I'm not sure that referring to some of the players as "dogs" is fun...

Cheers

Jim

Same girl

jim,
lighten up son - whats the matter with you ? its just a lighthearted thread.

I have to agree with Jim. I don't mind a bit of banter, but some of the comments on this thread are just plain insulting, and only tenuously "humorous". Apologies for any offence, but I felt I had to show support for Jim.

Cheers
Nigel

Dean..nuff said

Would you insult ethnic minorities so publicly and claim it as fun?

More upsets than anyone predicted, imho. Anyone else foresee a Williams v. Williams final?

Unbelievable game going on at the moment, Murray v Gasquet. Murray was 2 sets down and a break of serve down in the third set and Gasquet was cruising. Murray won the third on a tie-break, won the fourth 6-2 and now they are playing the fifth for the match.

This is what Wimbledon's all about!

First break, fifth set, Murray! 1-0

2-0!
