[Other Sport] Big day at Wimbledon. The Katie Boulter appreciation thread.

[hans kraay fan club]

Court 14 is where it's at.

Nishikori up first, followed by Eugenie Bouchard against a Brit debutant, and then the important one - the utterly fabulous Katie Boulter.

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[Martlet]

New balls, please!

 

[Madafwo]

Oh my...

 

[Albion Robster]

She is a beauty!
Born and bred Brit as well. No Australian ancestry in her blood lines either.

So no ball tampering?

Shame.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I am, by law, not allowed within 10 miles of Eugenie Bouchard.

Lordy lordy.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I think I'd find a greater fancy in chubby tennis, each of the contestants pounding into the grass as they motor full pelt around 4 or 5 metres to a ball they won't reach. They'll be dribbling with sweat and drinking a lot of Vimto to keep their energy levels up.
I'm not one for the snooty and pencil thin crowd.

Bouchard on now. way to much fuss about her - Boulter is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY fitter.

Hoping for a shock Eugenie defeat here, anyway, as she's up against a young girl very local to me.

I've just signed up for a journalist/PR mixed doubles tournament. The PRs all seem to be amazingly fit 20-something women who look like they live on water and slices of fruit and spending every hour in the gym. The journalists are mainly male, mainly middle-aged and look like they've spent their lives living off chips and best bitter. I'll be the one dead on my feet after 30 minutes

Not going to happen. Gaby Taylor getting DESTROYED. First set donut in 20 minutes.

Crikey a twenty minute first set, that's lightning fast at club level let alone at Wimbledon when you would have had 2 and a bit sit downs as well.

She's got some guts -now a break up (2-1) in the second set, winning two games in a row to love.

In the game.

Eugenie's instagram is always better when she wins and is happy. Normally some frolicking.

[hans kraay fan club]

One set each. Brilliant response to the first, from young Gaby.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

The wonderful Genie CRUISING to victory in the third. Simply PLAYING with the brit who thinks she even has the right to be on the same court as Ms Bouchard.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Your girl wins through, 6-0, 4-6, 6-3

Now the important stuff. Bring on Katie

At £20 a time, they can toss off. Bloody chancers.

Anyway, 1 set in the bag for the beautiful Ms Boulter.
