I know, poor girl. She seemed to fit so much in though and it's lovely what Judy did for her.

Although I had followed her journey I haden't realised that she died while Andy was playing in the final

Still can't believe that Nadal is out. Seriously impressed with Kyrgios, definitely a future Grand Slam winner.
Been very quiet on the questions today, but I have nearly done 50 to start the month off.

I loved Andy's Grandparents from that documentary. Grandma in particular is so articulate and 'with it'. I bet she's great fun:).
What a shock with Nadal losing. And Sharapova too. So many shocks so far this Wimbledon. Looking forward to seeing Andy playing Dimitrov, should be one of the matches of the Championship with plenty of loud support for both players. Andy should come through OK but I'm sure Dimitrov will be a force to be reckoned with one day. I love the way he plays, just as I love watching Federer even though I'm not too keen on Federer himself. Definitely don't like Djokovic (although I admire and marvel at his athleticism), he's so 'up himself', the worst of the lot of them IMO.0 -

I really hope Murray can win. I know he can, but Dimitrov is a very dangerous player. I don't think it will be a straight forward victory by any means (which means I will have a very sore throat tomorrow).
Also cheering on Cilic and Wawrinka today

Well done to Dimitrov. He is a great player. I hope either him or Kyrgios can win it now.

So very sorry for Andy, he looked so 'down' afterwards but he'll bounce back. A much too good a player not to be World Number 1 again. I'm very sad for you too, Emz, I know how much you like him. Although I like Amelie and always enjoyed her tennis matches I feel Andy lost a lot of edge when he split with Lendl. That was a relationship made in heaven. Maybe he'll call on him again, even though Lendl didn't want to do the job full-time and that's what Andy wanted. A difficult act to follow IMO and who helped Andy achieve some wonderful things.
Was very impressed by Dimitrov's whole demeanour on court. He let his tennis do the talking, no shouting and cursing, berating himself (although he didn't need to seeing as he wasn't under too much threat), fist-pumping (except when it was totally justified). I shall enjoy watching him in the years to come.
One thing's certain, this Wimbledon has thrown up some new and exciting players both men and women. Really liking Bouchard although I think Halep will be just too much for everyone this year.
Have a good day, Emz0 -
Sorry to hog the thread, Emz, but just had to say I've this minute completed a 50 point survey for YouGov (which took me to 5040 points) and have clicked the 'Redeem' button:j:j:j:j:j:j.
I know you had a payout recently but I recall it took a while to come:(. Can you remember how long it took, please? Seriously strapped for cash after paying my Car Tax (£180:() and Car Insurance renewal. Being on a DMP I have no credit cards nowadays:o:mad:. The YouGov £50 will be a lifesaver.0
