Wimbledon - what else? The grunts, the sweat, the calls for ‘new balls, please’ - at times it feels like a scene from Fifty Shades of … White!
And today it’s wet. Again. Wimbledon would not be Wimbledon without rain stopping play. Why would anyone want a sporting event to run like clockwork? Except perhaps the Swiss …
Which brings me to my Wimbledon Wednesday Hottie - had to get one in somewhere! My nomination is Roger Federer. This man is wasted on a tennis court - see evidence below.
Who’s your Wimbledon Wednesday Hottie?
See what I mean? Model, actor, or even lookalike in an identity parade
Long-haired version, for Christina
A would-be Mr Darcy, minus shirt
What on earth is he holding?
Alas, for me Nadal has been knocked out, but, as you say, the rain’s beating everyone today.
Great post Juliet! LOL. Still chuckling at your Fifty Shades line. You need to have read it to get it - not that there’s many who haven’t out there. Re your Wednesday Wettie/Hottie - used to be Pat Cash all those years ago
Sorry, I don’t follow the tennis, but I am still falling about at the phrase ‘men’s semis’…
Chris - except Andy Murray, who I see won and is through to - wait for it, Jane - the men’s semis.
Sarah, I haven’t yet got round to reading it yet, but did catch the gist over a woman’s shoulder on the tube - and am still recovering. Yes, Pat Cash and, even further back, John Newcombs …
Ha yes, Wimbledon…I’m old enough to remember John McEnroe’s quip - ‘Why the heck don’t you guys run this tournament in the summer?’. And I’m old enough to remember Jimmy Connors so he’s my choice….:)
I’m afraid none of them do it for me, not even Nadal. Give me an F1 driver any day …
(Great post though, Juliet!)
LOL, Linda - McEnroe was refreshingly blunt! Christina, I didn’t know there were any F1 drivers with long hair
Hannah had a boyfriend who was the spitting image of the Fed. Very uncanny!!! But did you see his little girl twins? Soooo cute! x
