Only a game... by judithg

Only a game...

Tears at Wimbledon ... poor old Andy but it was a good fight at least. And it was fun to watch it with @sparkle and if she didn't manage to telekinetically get those balls into the right places it wasn't for want of trying!!
Pretty! (Aw, I know - it was a shame he didn't win... :( )

Love this!
And yes it was a pity Andy didn't win.....we Scots like to support our own!
But he was very gracious at the end and seeing the appreciative human being was very positive. I'm sure there will be another opportunity and he knows how much it means to all his supporters!

What a lovely capture - I really like the rain drops on this one Judith

Love your PoV here.
I'm afraid the tennis passed me by...

Very nice shot with the tears an' all. Enjoyed the match, would have loved him to win, but by 'eck he tried!

Was weird watching Wombledon in the sun when it was chucking it down here! lovely little flower!

Did he cry? Went out with the dog to avoid that part. Did you and @sparkle drink the champagne anyway?

@fueast No - didn't want to get her banned from driving - if he'd won I might have risked it!!

This is a super shot, I love the softness of it and it is fitting for poor Andy.

Lovely daisy shot with the raindrops (perfect symbols of Murrays tears!) Sounds like you had a good partner to watch the game with!
July 8th, 2012  
yeah, it was a bittersweet match. I was only allowed to watch parts, because Becky couldn't cope when he was losing! So I saw parts of it, and parts of some random kids' movie on channel 5!

beautiful image, i like
July 8th, 2012  
Oooh Wimbledon... I am so jealous! I would love to watch tennis there! Beautiful daisy tears!
July 8th, 2012  
He lost then, oh well
July 8th, 2012  
Yes I thought about posting something similar this evening - yours is much better though! I enjoyed the match but what an emotional ending!
July 8th, 2012  
great shot seeing as it was SO wet when we went out! You never told me i was meant to be switching on the telekinetics...der, I had them off most of the game - it's my fault he lost :o(

Lovely symbolic shot. I guess Andy has endeared himself to everybody today, one way or another.

Beautiful little image Judith.

Poor Andy!! At least Mark Webber won the F1 at Silverstone. It gave us Aussies something to cheer about!!
July 8th, 2012  
so pretty!
July 8th, 2012  
Such a sweet shot. I feel sorry for Andy but he can still be so proud of himself.
July 8th, 2012  
Glorious sparkling & jeweled grass, lovely ! I too was sorry Andy lost but he played well & think did a great amount of PR for himself at the end showing he is human & I'm sure everyone warmed to him immensely. I think he nearly brought the whole of the audience to tears too.

@happypat I was glad to see Judy lose it - she'd have to be really abnormal not to when every other mother in the country was reaching for the tissues for a quick eye dab!!
July 8th, 2012  
I keep looking at this to find out exactly what it is about it that I love. I can't quite figure it out, but I do. Fabulous!
July 8th, 2012  
A weeping daisy... the Wimbledon match was very emotional... tugged at my heart watching him try to speak... very touching.

Pretty soft image

I was rooting for Andy, too. Pity he didn't win but I agree with @happypat. He won over many hearts. Love your daisy.
July 9th, 2012  
Such a beautiful shot..I love the simplicity!
July 9th, 2012  
love the drops!
July 9th, 2012  
Love the softness Judith.
July 9th, 2012  
Super shot :)
July 9th, 2012  
I think i was the only one not watching the tennis, shame he didn't win though =/ lovely shot!
July 9th, 2012  
Andy said, "I'm getting closer"...and I believe him. He gave a good match against the best. Sweet shot depicting Andy's emotions. I was totally touched by his tears.
July 9th, 2012  
I think half of Britiain was an emotional wreck by the end of the match.....love your shot here to depict the day. Never mind, there's always the Olympics.............. :-)

A least he made Federer work for his 7th crown at Wimbledon...and he is Scottish so did well getting as far as he did..
July 9th, 2012  
Lovely softness! It was a great match to watch and he definitely made Federer work hard for it!
July 9th, 2012  
Simple dreamy shot.
July 9th, 2012  
Excellent image. Always think of tennis as an individual versus another individual rather than a national thing so though I've got nothing against Murray I've always liked Federer so I was quite happy he won.
