YANBU, I totally agree, its almost unwatchable.

Celticlassie · 27/01/2013 09:33
Hmm

If that's not tennis... what the hell is? Grin

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 27/01/2013 09:34

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

lurkedtoolong · 27/01/2013 09:35

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

countrykitten · 27/01/2013 09:38

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

BooksandaCuppa · 27/01/2013 09:44

I knew that's what you were going to say!!

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

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2013 09:48

Can't watch. The trainer squeaking is setting my teeth on edge. Grin

seeker · 27/01/2013 09:50

YY seeker stop the squeaking!!

slartybartfast · 27/01/2013 09:51

oh i agree, its just not tennis

Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2013 09:52

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

MrsDoomsPatterson · 27/01/2013 09:54

The officials look like they work for easy jet.

And where the chuff is the Robinson's?

EuroShagmore · 27/01/2013 09:54

The squeaking is very annoying.

Startail · 27/01/2013 09:58

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

Floralnomad · 27/01/2013 09:58

You get used to it , have you lot not been watching it for the last two weeks ?

MrsDoomsPatterson · 27/01/2013 10:01

Yes, I have. Squeaking not bothering me. Looking forward to Wta starting tomo!

SnakePlisskensMum · 27/01/2013 10:12

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

Floralnomad · 27/01/2013 10:14

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 !

TaggieCampbellBlack · 27/01/2013 10:16

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.
Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2013 10:19

Yes Taggie good points.

From another non tenniser-

  1. It is too blue.
  2. It is too squeaky.
  3. It goes on too long.
Sparklingbrook · 27/01/2013 10:21

And I have gone right off Andrew Castle since his 'when sorry isn't enough' advert. Angry

Vibration damper? Confused

TaggieCampbellBlack · 27/01/2013 10:23
  1. Their nasty nylon outfits are virtually identical. It's very hard to work out whos who.
Floralnomad · 27/01/2013 10:36

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

Startail · 27/01/2013 10:44

I wish they'd make them wear different colours.

TaggieCampbellBlack · 27/01/2013 10:45

It's not Real Tennis.
