Grin it looks as though its being held in a community leisure centre from the 80s.

Unless it's in all white and on the lush green grass of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club then it isn't proper tennis. Harrumphs like a horse

It's brilliant! Just enjoy the fabulous talent and ignore the colours.

Of course it's proper tennis. But they do look vair scruffy.

Anyone seen cricket lately? That's not cricket either. Not a cricket white in sight. Angry

The squeaking is very annoying.

The mouse powered trainers are very annoying, and black clothes against the black backdrop is horrid.

The squeaking shoes are awful but at least there's no Azarenka style screaming!

The only problem with the tennis is that the cricket is on the other side , I'm having to watch that on Sky go at the same time !

Some observations from a non-tenniser.....

  1. That blueness is hard on the eyes.
  2. The squeeking is setting my teeth on edge, surely something could be done to stop it.
  3. Their feet are the size of canoes.

Yes Taggie good points.

From another non tenniser-

  1. It is too blue.
  2. It is too squeaky.
  3. It goes on too long.

Murray has black shoes , Djokovic has white , although you don't see much tennis if you're watching their feet.

I wish they'd make them wear different colours.
