to think it's not proper tennis....

[seeker]

.... In that colour scheme?

Boom Boom

The Real Tennis courts at Hanpton Court are amaze!

Why are they each wearing one white wrist band and one yellow? Did they share out two pairs between them?

Well it is tennis, but not as we know it.

language!

And now they're grunting.

Hampton. Not Hanpton!

Bored now. Off to Lidl.

I am feeling awfully superior when I ask....have you not seen any non-Wimbledon tennis before? The colours ARE generally brighter and the sounds squeakier. Wait until the end and you see the showbiz jamboree. Ghastly colonials.

Been watching this at work most of the week where the TV is on mute with subtitles. Didn't know about the squeaking. Eeeeeeek.

Hmmm the colour isn't as bad as the Madrid Blue Clay fiasco.

Can't believe a Brit would not have white shoes.
And the squeaking is really off-putting. Venues - change the surface ASAP!

I was aghast when navy blue Ralph Lauren came in over green & purple at Wimbo. And who remembers Barbara Potter in the 80s? She wore a jumpsuit!!! Or something like that anyway.

I though all the thanking of sponsors was a bit vulgar and the endless crawling to the tournament organisers, what was that all about? Somehow Wimbledon feels like a proper sporting event whereas that felt like a very dull corporate shindig without canapés.

Can you imagine if we had to listen to a speech from the CEO of Robinsons at the end of the Wimbledon final?
