Wimbledon 2010 Day 4: Jankovic/Scheepers v Medina Garrigues/Senoglu

As we predicted/hoped – people scattered at the end of that match and we had to literally jump over the back of a bench to grab some space – we got chatting to a couple of Spanish ladies turning out to cheer on AMG and an English couple on the other side of us. The guy was keen to see JJ up close and his g/f could see why – complementing the GOAT on her figure. I had to explain the whole glittery GOAT thing … and she was also not going to disappoint us with Goaty distractions, gawd bless ‘er!

Senagal-Igloo was in a bit of a strop for most of the match and me and the girl beside me amused ourselves A LOT figuring out what was really being said in the tactics chats… she was pulling at her skirt constantly so we surmised that actually AMG was all “no your skirt looks fine, really – your bum doesn’t look big at all”… JJ would have been more “nahhh you want to go shopping sat Westfield… SOOOO much nicer”…













This was always going to be hilarious – JJ was all smiley and bouncy and she seemed to have a good rapport with Scheepers. But obvs… Scheepers was calling all the shots…
Cilla and I figured out that with her lack of tourneys ahead of Wimbledon – she was doing this for the grass court practice.

AMG started things off – but JJ/Scheepers took an early break (more by luck than judgement!)









There were a few times though when it looked like AMG/Senoglu were able to take advantage of holes straight down the middle of the other team.
Much hilarity with JJ as a spectator as rallies carried on around her and then she’d be all “ooh me me ME!” .. LOVE it when she shouts “YOOUUUUUU” to her partner!
But in general great groundies from JJ and her mostly typical bunts when up at the net.

A couple of anxious moments during the match – JJ tweaked something and called for the trainer – who never arrived (maybe that’s why she called them out in the A-Bond match … figured she was owed a visit?)
She overran the ball a couple of times – whenever she does that I always wince at the remembrance of that knee injury against Caro. [/shudder]





Senoglu was in a bit of a strop a fair few times – not much smileyness from her!
JJ at one stage waved at some random folk on the balcony – I think they must have known her and Sneki… Scheepers was all “umm… so… yeah back to the game, yes??”
But they had a lot of laughs between them





JJ and Scheepers weren’t really troubled and took the match comfortably in straights…







We decided to call it quits at this point – I finally had some sun!

We toddled to the supermarket on the way home as I had nothing to feed us for the early morning start! I always hit the supermarket on a Sunday morning, after they’ve stocked up over night so we were faced with racks and racks of stuff waiting to go out. Including what can only be described as an intimidating wall of bread. A lot of it.
Safe to say – I got the bread!

We’d booked the cab for 5:30 using the iPhone app for that – and so to home and to turn in for hitting the queue – we wanted to be there to try and snaffle court 2 tix for Kim, JJ and the prospect of Jamie and LRob being scheduled on a court…
