Sorry Avalon, I find tennis utterly boring.

That's OK, Katty

Is Cliff there?

Hopefully not.   The best thing about the roof on Centre Court at Wimbledon is that it's put a stop to that old git 'entertaining' the crowds during rain intervals

I'm watching Murray v Chela....don't reckon it'll go beyond 3 sets.

I said that to hubby soon after the start of the 2nd set.

Yes, looks like he's going to win this

Nadal v Murray

Federer v Djokovic

Doesn't get better than that

I'm not sure of the outcome of  Nadal/Murray, but I reckon the winner of that match will have Federer to look forward too.

I'm not keen on Djokovic at all Fluffy and if he gets to the final he will knock Rafa off number one spot and I won't be best pleased.

Hoping for Federer v Nadal in the final

I don't rate Djokovic that highly, despite the fact thatat he is or was 4th or higher in the world.

Surely he would only knock Rafa off the number one spot if he beats him? Not sure how it'll go if Rafa and Djokovic are both losing semi-finalists.

Does anyone know what time the semi-finals will be on this Friday? I am going to try and leave work early to see the tennis in the afternoon What a cracking line up!

As far as I can determine, Friday's schedule won't be published until Thursday evening.

The sight of Andy Murray makes me INSTANTLY switch channels.  Absolutely loathe him.

If they follow the same pattern as today's women's semi finals then they will be on Court Philppe Chatrier starting at 1 pm, but they haven't yet published in which order they will be played.

I'm hoping for a Nadal/Federer final, too.  But I have a feeling that Djokovic will beat Roger

Most interesting thing about the French Open is the name. Sounds like rude lingerie!

Women's semi-finals: Li v Sharapova.

Thanks for the replies Fluffy and El Loro.

Will try and see as much of the semi-finals as possible tomorrow.

Come on Rafa!

shouty murray lost

shame

The second match is not on terrestrial TV though.

Bugger, bugger, bugger!!

If you have Freeview, it's on 301 now

Thanks, El Loro.  Have got a Freeview set but it's not working properly.  Ah well

Got it!!!!

Federer keeping his end up so far

You can watch it on the internet

I'm sorted thanks, Fluffy.   I never think that I could watch stuff 'live' on the net.  I don't know what the streaming would be like on this old machine.  I know that if I watch anything on i-player this time in the evening the picture keeps breaking up and re-loading.  Probably my ISP being a bit rubbish, I reckon.

Good match so far!

I don't like Roger Federer and I'm sulking.

Missed Murray/Nadal, but saw the end of Federer/Djokovic, for a moment I thought Djokovic would take it to the wire. Fed's in great form, but I'm backing Nadal tomorrow!

I'm hoping for a great final.  The grace and elegance of Federer and the power of Nadal.  If it's anything like the Wimbledon final they served up a couple of years ago (2008?)we are in for a treat.

Men's Singles Final - 2pm BBC2

Andrew Castle in the commentary box really irritates me. He makes assumptions and is so far up Federer's bum that he can't be impartial.

Rafa's a bit nervous to start, not a good first service game for him.

Oh dear! What a dreadful error by Nadal.

I wonder if the prospect of beating Borg's record is affecting him now?! He doesn't seem comfortable at all.

And now it's 'Oh dear! What a dreadful error by Federer'

I agree though Katerina, Rafa doesn't really look terribly comfortable, though he has managed to pull himself back into this set.

Blimey!   Well, Roger had his chance there and I don't know whether he can come back now.  Must have knocked his confidence a bit.

I don't really mind who wins this as I like both players, just enjoying the match
